The head of the World Health Organization has praised a developing country for its success in handling the coronavirus pandemic on Friday and urged others to re-evaluate their approaches to health care:

Thailand’s numbers “speak for themselves,” said Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus in closing remarks to the World Health Assembly, which took place this week.

Thailand was the first country outside China to report a case of COVID-19, but to date it has counted fewer than 4,000 cases and just 60 fatalities, despite having a population of 70 million and one of the world’s biggest and most tightly packed cities in Bangkok.

By comparison, the U.K., with a population of about 68 million, has had 1.3 million cases and 51,396 fatalities, according to data aggregated by Johns Hopkins University.

There have been protests in Thailand since February over all kinds of issues. Has the authoritarian regime been fudging the numbers?
