Thailand reports new daily record of 31 COVID-19 deaths
03 May 2021 11:01AM (Updated: 03 May 2021 11:34AM)
BANGKOK: Thailand on Monday (May 3) reported a new daily record of 31 coronavirus deaths, the health ministry said, as the country grapples with a third wave of infections.
After managing to largely control the virus for around a year through shutdowns and strict border controls, Thailand has faced a spike in cases since early April that is proving harder to control and putting pressure on parts of the medical system.
The ministry reported 2,041 new COVID-19 cases, taking the country's total number to 71,025 since the pandemic began last year. The total number of fatalities now stands at 276.
The new outbreak, which includes the highly transmissible B117 variant first detected in Britain, has accounted for more than half of total cases and deaths since the start of the pandemic.
Thailand aims to have 70 per cent of the population vaccinated against COVID-19 by the end of the year, though the roll-out of vaccines has been slower compared with some neighbouring countries.
Registration for vaccinating the general public began on Saturday, with about 16 million people aged over 60 or those with pre-existing medical conditions getting priority.
Mass inoculations are set to begin in June, when the first batch of what is targeted to reach 61 million locally manufactured AstraZeneca doses becomes available.

I've been saying this since day one..... there is little point in shutting down. The virus is unstoppable even with vaccines. The more stringent the lockdown the longer it will take to reach the end of the tunnel.
Stop counting deaths. Just concentrate on the vaccination program to minimise the deaths and reduce the severity of the disease in most. The majority of doctors agree that this is the only way out but very few are willing to state this publicly for fear of losing their jobs or being taken to task by their respective medical boards.
Those in the know will see things the same way I do.
Time will prove me right.
so u pro vax or anti vax?
yr stance very confusing leh
I'm pro vax but have a gut feel that there are too many questions that have not been answered when it comes to the Covid vaccines that have been rushed to market and which have been granted a waiver on liability.
However from a statistical point of view the vaccine will save more lives than it will take but in the end it has to be an individual choice and not forced upon anyone. All vaccines carry a risk even the well established ones.
ic
tks for yr clarification
Deaths from Covid need to be put in perspective.
Songkran’s 7 dangerous days: 2,365 road accidents, 277 deaths

FILE PHOTO: This year saw 30% less deaths and accidents over Songkran week.
We’ve finally reached the end of the Songkran holiday “7 dangerous days”, where over 2,300 road accidents resulted in 2,357 injuries and 277 deaths. Every year Thai officials brace for the surge in holiday travel that brings a surge in accidents as well, but the silver lining of Covid-19 is the reduction in accidents. This year saw a drop of nearly 30% from pre-Covid totals over the 2019 Songkran holiday period. Here’s the final day’s summary and the totals for the week:
DAILY FIGURES
On the final day of the Thai government’s weeklong safety campaign, there were 253 road accidents with 255 injuries and 26 deaths. The provinces with the most deaths were Ubon Ratchathani with 3 deaths, and then Chanthaburi and Phetchabun, both with 2 fatalities in each.
TOTALS
The 277 deaths and 2,357 injuries as a result of 2,365 accidents is a significant reduction from non-Covid years where road accidents and deaths were 30% higher. In 2019, the Songkran “7 dangerous days” totalled 3,338 accidents, with 3,442 injuries and 386 deaths. 2021’s muted Songkran holiday period saw about a thousand fewer accidents and injuries and over 100 fewer fatalities.
Final figures following the trends we saw daily, with 79% of all accidents involving motorbikes with 7% involving pickup trucks, a distant second. Drunk driving was the number 1 cause of road accidents with nearly 37% of all accidents involving alcohol. 28% of accidents were caused by speeding, while sudden lane changes accounted for 18% of incidents. Late afternoons from 4 pm to 8 pm had 29% of road accidents, followed by 21% of incidents that happened earlier from noon to 4 pm.
Highways were the most dangerous, with nearly 40% of accidents happening there. Community or village roads accounted for 36% of accident locations. Teenagers made up the biggest demographic of fatalities, with 15 to 19 year olds making up 15% of deaths. 30 to 39 year olds made up just over 14% of road deaths.
The deadliest provinces over the 7 dangerous days were Pathum Thani with 10 deaths, followed by Bangkok and Chiang Mai, both of which had 9 fatalities. Nakhon Si Thammarat, with 106 incidents, recorded the most road accidents of any province, followed by Chiang Mai with 77 crashes and Songkla with 69.
During the course of the road safety campaign, police and traffic authorities pulled over 2.3 million motorbikes and 100,000 other vehicles, issuing almost 460,000 citations, notably for not wearing helmets, having a driver’s license, or fastening seatbelts.

Thai road death toll tops 12,000 in 2019

Thai media report 12,304 people have been registered as dying at accident scenes in Thailand so far this year.
Academics caution that this figure only relates to those who die at the scene, and the actual death toll is far higher when when all all data is collated, and when victims succumb to their injuries after leaving the accident scene.
The total annual Thai death toll, over recent years, is between 21,000 – 24,000, making it one of the worst in the world (currently #5 in the world according to World Health Orginisation data).
On Monday this week 62 people died, bringing November’s toll to 144 on just the fourth day of the month.
The Daily News runs an ongoing campaign to raise awareness of the dangers of Thai roads. They report the death toll daily, along with accident reports.
The Daily News reported that a motorcyclist was recently killed outside a chicken rice shop in the southern province of Ranong, north of Phang Nga. The lane-changing motorcyclist was hit by a pickup driver who could not brake in time, and flung the victim into the back of another pickup.

KNN my uncle think this is a fairly well said and agreeable by most people statements KNN but this is also the leeson that my uncle leeceived his vaccine although the vaccine has been granted waiver on liability at the same time pap is also granted waiver on liability for the poor management of covid19 in sg so my uncle does not have much choice
KNNunless u say the 31 wld have died anyway from other noncovid causes, u will not be able to convince many leh
how many shots u recd already?KNN my uncle think this is a fairly well said and agreeable by most people statements KNN but this is also the leeson that my uncle leeceived his vaccine although the vaccine has been granted waiver on liability at the same time pap is also granted waiver on liability for the poor management of covid19 in sg so my uncle does not have much choice
What I am saying is that more lives would be saved if efforts were directed at reducing the major causes of death instead of just making huge efforts, at the expense of the economy, in fighting an infection with an IFR which is pretty low.
so u mean just put all the money in vax and scrap social distancing like what uk has just announced?
think they have already vax 70% of population so feels ok to scrap social distancing by june 21.
Social distancing rules to be scrapped from June 21
Pubs, restaurants and theatres can open fully from June 21 but mask rules will remain
The “one metre-plus” social distancing rule will be scrapped from June 21 under plans to ensure that all restaurants, pubs, theatres and cinemas can reopen fully, The Times understands.
Masks will have to be worn in some cases to mitigate the risks but it will mean venues can reopen at full capacity for the first time in 15 months.
Dominic Raab, the foreign secretary, confirmed yesterday that some coronavirus restrictions would remain beyond June 21, causing concern in hospitality. He said “conditions, counteracts and safeguards” would have to stay, adding: “They’ll be something around masks.”
