93% of people testing positive are walk-ins then according to that.

Who on earth feels fine and wants to go get a covid test for fun and ri$k of confinment Thai style.

Means there is next to no community testing and the number of cases in the population is probably sky high already.

Are any of the numbers around the world accurate?? They are the best we have at the moment. Thailand's numbers will soon increase greatly, due to Omicron. I think the best thing at the moment I'd hope for is for governments to hold their collective nerve. We're so used to restrictions, lockdowns and any number of other Covid taboos. Now is the time for knowing the wave will come and bracing for the impact. The hope is, it will pass...soon.
