The spike in cases has not affected the ratio of deaths to cases. Fatality percentages in Thailand and worldwide remain constant, and Thailand's fatality rate has ticked downward over the last 72 hours.
Thailand
Cases - 481,967
Fatalities - 3,930 (0.81%) *** same as a day ago
Survival Rate - 99+%
World
Cases - 193,165,622
Fatalities - 4,143,105 (2.14%) *** same as a day ago
Survival Rate - 97+%
The fatality rate in Thailand continues to be in the range of 250% less than the world's fatality rate. Most scientists agree that viruses become weaker over time. Even the variants, while more infectious, have been less fatal to date. The fear mongering over case numbers instead of fatalities continues to dominate news.

Peter Daszak and the Virus
* * *The good news from all this is that [Peter] Daszak finally recused himself from a COVID-19 commission that was established by the medical journal The Lancet after his conflicts of interest with the WIV came to light. The bad news is that up until then, Daszak had been functioning as an apologist for the Beijing regime, parroting its nonsense that the SARS-CoV-2 originated somewhere else and somehow made its way to China.
Worse still, Daszak was the only representative of the U.S. appointed to a 10-person panel convened by the World Health Organization (WHO). That panel's report, which was released in February, was dismissed even by the Biden administration as superficial and unpersuasive. The joint WHO-China team's report asserted strong conclusions about how the pandemic started based on very little supporting evidence. Nor did Chinese authorities fully cooperate with its investigation.
For public confidence, however, the worst part may be that we only learned of Daszak's conflict of interest because of the FOIA request of Anthony Fauci's email archive. This means that no one at WHO seemed to think that Daszak's direct financial ties to the Wuhan Institute of Virology, which he had funded with $600,000 of grant money to perform research on bat coronaviruses, might make him unsuitable to participate in thoroughly scrutinizing its procedures, record-keeping, anti-contamination habits, and other practices.
Rutgers University professor of chemical biology Richard H. Ebright, who is frequently quoted in media reports as an expert on coronaviruses and public health, said in April it "would be hard to imagine a more brazen lie" that Daszak has no conflict of interest with the WIV.

WATCH: Mary Katherine Ham gives CNN a cold dose of TRUTH about Anthony Fauci
Fauci continues to lie.Further, Fauci has something to do with the numbers on his own level of trustworthiness. He as at least twice – and I will be gentle in saying at least shaded the truth about his COVID pronouncements based on his own judgement on what the public can handle.
Now you may think those shadings of the truth were noble – that for instance saying that masks were not particularly efficient for helping protect you back in the beginning of the pandemic so that they could be in greater supply for health workers – that the end result was okay. But it did seed distrust of him with good reason.
He also has admitted saying that when it came to herd immunity, he looked at polling to base his statements on how much herd immunity would be the threshold that we needed.
These two instances are just fact. Those are just facts and it is an issue that a very powerful public figure was found to be shading the truth about these things. And it is a reason that people have come to distrust him.
