I believe they are all alive and will be brought out safe. I admit that before the first 4 were rescued I had a moment of fear where I thought it possible there had been deaths in the cave and we were not being told. I mainly thought so because there were no new videos released. HOWEVER, since 4 have come out, I don't believe that they could keep it under wraps if there had been any deaths. There are too many Non-Thai divers and rescue workers that are key in this operation for them to keep something like that quiet for this long. JMO.
I think many pieces of info have slipped out that the Thai government would not have wanted to be reported at all. For example-- was there a code red or not? I think there was, but that the reporting of this was "embarrassing" and from the govt's point of view could lead to stress for the families and boys still in the cave if they heard something went wrong. So it was stifled and reported instead that they are all in good health at the hospital. Very possible that is true as well now and the code red survivor was able to be stabilized and in better condition once at the hospital. Same thing with the conflicting reports on if they brought out the weakest or the strongest first. Americans (And probably Brits and Aussies) are thinking "how great it is if the weakest were brought out first to get treatment". We are thinking in terms of medical care and what is best for each individual. Meanwhile, the Thais are probably horrified at any of the team being called "weak" (even if it means medically). Thais may be saying, "no those brought out are strong, healthy, good, okay, etc"-- because they are throwing out the positive instead of focusing on a negative word that could later bring shame on the ones first brought out. Avoiding any negatives that could get back to the rest of the group in the cave is also important to them, IMO. The group is more important than the individual in this type of culture. This is why the parents are likely quietly accepting that they cannot know which boys have come out. In American culture that would never fly (I can just hear American parents screaming at authorities to tell them where their child is or face lawsuits, lol) but in Thailand all those boys are like the children of all the parents. The parents understand the group in the cave and their community is the top priority and will wait patiently until they are told where their boys are. JMO.
