   But of course! So many countries are number 1 now, it’s amazing the advances in modern statistics. The best way to keep those numbers down is to not test anyone, or to keep them far away from hospitals to avoid infecting the healthy.

   yes that’s incredible,considering the world total today stands at 16,900.000 an increase of 7 million in 29 days…. at this rate in fifteen months 7.4 billion total cases would have been recorded.

   Or to name the cause of death anything but Covid 19. Odd how the stats for Influenza, Pneumonia, Stroke mortality rates have risen so much in 2020. Ssshhhhh!!!!

   Can we now have a global survey on Thai deaths on the road?
   This will reveal a comparison of what, 260 deaths for five of the virus.

   Actually the survey said nothing about the actual handling of the crisis. The data only ranks by infection/death rate. Thaiger inferred that it was due to the handling of the crisis. While that is a logical conclusion, other factors can have a dramatic effect as well. Inferring facts or jumping to conclusions is poor journalism.

   Just a shame that this #1 Covid performance was at the cost of Thailand being #1 for Covid’s crippling effects on industry, employment and the economy. Prayuth clearly mistook ‘lockdown’ for ‘paralysis’.

   Sweden ranks number one without a lockdown, not Thailand. Don’t be fooled!

   The World Health Organization suddenly changed course and praised Sweden as a model for battling the coronavirus as the countries started gradually lifting their lockdowns.

   The writer of this actually has a journalism degree?
   1. These numbers don’t reflect “handling” of the disease. There was nothing easier in the world than sealing New Zealand borders. Also many of the countries reported and listed “covid” death rates do NOT reflect excess death rate, while most of Europe and the US are reporting excess deaths (a higher and more accurate number).
   2. Also genetics are for certain a MAJOR factor. Human evolution in the last 10,000 years probably hasn’t moved much in almost every facet, EXCEPT is well understood to have had major changes: immune system evolutionary pressure. This would be expected to cause differences in countries regardless of policy.
   3. ALL wide testing of archival blood samples, stored for a year or more, are showing significant numbers of samples with T-cells from PRIORr exposure to a very similar and likely low symptom/asymptomatic corona type virus in EAST ASIA and Oceana.
   July 17 Science mag, citing journal “Nature” peer reviewed paper: “And turning to patients who have never been exposed to either SARS or the latest SARS CoV-2, this new work confirms that there are people who nonetheless have T cells that are reactive to protein antigens from the new virus. …That would argue that there has been past zoonotic coronavirus transmission in humans, unknown viruses that apparently did not lead to serious disease, which have provided some people with a level of T-cell based protection to the current pandemic.”
   WE will not know for five years how any country “handled it.”
