Can anyone enlighten me? Are the Shatbox's testing positive for covid carrying it in from their home countries (I doubt that) or are they getting infected on the Super Safe paradise island of Phucket. (More likely).

I suspect the latter. Visitors from other Countries have jumped through so many hoops to get there.

Most of these are getting found on arrival or second test 6 days after arrival.. a lot can happen in the 3 days from the test in your own country before travelling.. not sure of day 13/14 tested positive but it was a very few..

Oh, good:

Phuket 220+ for weeks, about 6-700k.people

Bangkok 2200+ , ~9 Million registered, but about 12-13 Mio "expected" residents.

Phuket has about 1.5 times the cases, calculated per head 

No deep red, but open for tourists, mainly domestic tourists 

Phuket win, methinks

Those dead and sandbox people are really ruining Phuket image... Did you forget 226 local infections?

The biggest factor that is never displayed in the death totals ...How many people had serious underlying health conditions already ?......or perhaps they can compare total death totals from historical data to see if this is the normal range or not .... to me things need to put into perspective instead of all the fear , did they die of cancer , heartattack , high blood pressure , diabetes , pneumonia ,road accidents, to name a few ....but they tested positive for the Chinese virus and the death is recorded as another stat .... no transparency , the media need to ask these questions and get the data ...
