Better figures today - 77 cases reported in prisons and 2,153 in the general population. I suspect the daily rate is being distorted by clusters such as factories or construction sites where hundreds are tested at a time. The average for all of May was 2,208
Today's new cases include 1,087 cases in prisons and 2,353 in the general population
"What I find surprising is that Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam were all held up as virtual role models last year of how to contain the virus."
Only when it's pretty much at the end will it be possible to know which govt got most of it rightish. This is totally uncharted territory for every one of them.
In the UK half the country are angry at Johnson cos he didn't lock down sooner, half the country are angry cos he locked down at all, half the country are angry cos he locked down too long or not long enough and half the country are just angry at whatever they're told to be angry about by that days media.
Yes Arsenal. If the U.K. had this lot, then they'd have something to be angry about.
My post #197 above outlines my views. I do not agree that the situation in these countries was uncharted, at least for Thailand and Taiwan. Both governments were totally complacent. Both took their eyes of the obvious. They knew that testing, tracing and quarantine were vital. Thailand rejected the advice of its medical experts by going ahead with Songkran. Immigration officials presumably accepted large bribes to let the son of the Central Department Store empire return in early April after his gambling jaunt to Cambodia. Now we have the results. And we read that Prayut would not accept medical advise re Songkran because the government would not be popular!!Originally Posted by arsenal
