Many expats (permanent sex tourists, like yourself) congratulated Thailand on their handling of the pandemic. Do we hear them now?

A “permanent tourist”? Perhaps you should let the TAT know about this exciting concept.
Another jump in numbers - 4,059 cases, only 75 from prisons. Excluding travellers that's 3,984 locals. Yes, Matt, it's now trending up.
Today’s total is 3,174 with only 36 in prison. The daily blips (such as yesterday’s) appear to coincide with reports of new clusters inside factories when every worker gets tested. Given that all positive cases are sent to hospital it’s no surprise to read that Bangkok is running out of hospital beds.
Back up to almost 4,000 today - 3,879 plus 229 prisoners.
Phuket recorded 2; it needs to exceed 70 in 7 days to threaten the Sandbox project.
With the UK “Opening” being postponed for a month (at least) following rapidly rising figures ....11,000+ on Tuesday and 16,000+ on Wednesday...I can’t see many tourists arriving from the UK.
One reason (of many) why the COVID statistics are unreliable:
Multiple hospitals in the Bangkok area have stopped doing PCR swab tests for Covid-19. Their rationale is that if some test comes back positive, there won’t be beds for the patients. Other hospitals have “scaled down” the swab tests because their staff is too busy, says Dr Suppachok Kirdlarp.
Dr Thiravat Hemachudha, head of the Thai Red Cross Emerging Infectious Diseases Health Science Centre, says that Chulalongkorn Hospital has stopped doing Covid swab tests for 4 days starting today. Dr Thiravat cites the lack of beds for potentially infected people.
