    Proper condos don't have shared AC systems, i never lived in one that has in Bangkok. Most proper condos have positive pressure and there should be no infection risk if you stay inside.

     

     

    Our condo has this too, installed last week. also distance enforced, masks everywhere and sanitizer.

    The same going with the recycled air going through communitial Aircon systems in the condo ... I was referring to such areas as :- Gyms .. Condo offices ... Juristic office....Reception areas etc ...As a rule these are communal areas and have A/C and have a lot of daily walk through   traffic ( residents & visitors etc)

    The positive and negative pressures caused by the lift going up and down in an enclosed shaft will helps to transmit the virus particles which are suspended in the air which can then migrate from floor to floor .this is airborne virus  and no amount of cleaning surfaces which hinder airborne particulates from spreading,The same going with the recycled air going through communitial Aircon systems in the condo ...

    Was Coronavirus around in Pattaya in November?

    in Pattaya

    Posted

    I had something very similar Mid November after a night on the town (Pattaya)  . It started 3 days after visiting Pattaya,  I felt feverish and under the weather for a couple or 3 days then I developed a dry hacking cough that lasted a further 3 weeks before clearing up ...the symptoms sound very similar to a mild case of this  virus ... 

    But at the time I just thought it was a run of the mill bug that was doing the rounds at the time. 

    But now paranoia has stated to set in ????

    SAND , OSTRICH and BURYING ONE'S head comes to mind here .

     

    The time to realize the "sh*t" has actually/really hit the fan in Thailand (Re:- COVID19) is when the shelves in the 7/11's are not being restocked on a daily basis ..that will be the true litmus test to how serious it actually has become and they'll be no hiding the facts then   ????

    For your information..  I went to immigration for my  90 day registration this afternoon ...and ask why I could not register online ....her reply was you can only register online up to 15 days before and  then up to 8 days before,  after that you have    register in person . So you only actually  have a 7 days window of opportunity to register online   ( earliest 15 day before and latest 8 days before your due date )

    Buy only N95 (rated) surgical masks or higher ... the rest are all but useless only good for dust particulates and will  not filter out  smaller Virus or bacterium. 

    Could the "New China virus" affect Pattaya??

    Coronavirus declared global health emergency by WHO.

    The new coronavirus has been declared a global emergency by the World Health Organization, as the outbreak continues to spread outside China.

    "The main reason for this declaration is not what is happening in China but what is happening in other countries," said WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.

    The concern is that it could spread to countries with weaker health systems.

     

    It's starting to get serious now   the "Genie is out the bottle"....

    This time last year in the UK 93 people died of flu related causes.

     

    This time last year in the US 19,000 people died of flu related causes.

     

    It's youngest victim so far has been 48 years old. Most of them are over 60. All the deceased had underlying medical problems.

     

    The worst that will happen if you're fit and healthy is a few very unpleasant days of illness.

     

    I think it's time to calm down a little.

    That is why I said ..quote :-  "Should the Pattaya expat community be worried ????" 

    The majority of Expats are well over the age of 55 and what I have seen over my 12+yrs living here is that again the majority of Expat's do not live a very healthy lifestyle quite the contrary they seem to abuse their bodies at every opportunity :-  "vastly over weight.. little to not exercise ..excess drinking, smoking and eating unhealthily etc etc .. this is just the kind of person  that this virus will hit the worse ???? .

    And to add too this a good proportion of this demographic has little too no healthy care insurance so will be financially unable to get good medical intervention at a crucial time ( a double whammy).the perfect storm for this " Grim reaper virus"

    I live 20 klix south of Pattaya ...and I have noticed a marked daily increase of Khun Thai wearing surgical masks whilst shopping at the busy local markets ... The Thais are just as worried as the expat community .. I think this is not  just as coincidence.. 

    Even the scaremongering Western Press is starting to report this in a less sensational way and in a more concerned manner ..

    Watch the share prices in "Surgical mask" sky rocket in the next few weeks ..

    I have been using Dr. Anna in Bangkok Pattaya Hospital, based on many recommendations. She treated a mole, took it out with a laser and I was very happy with her. 

     

    Basic cost for investigation, nursing fee etc will be around 1.000, everything else depends on what she thinks necessary, i.e. biopsy, removal... you will get a quote to decide

    I second Dr Anna as a recommendation ..

    With the Chinese new year quickly approaching and with it a  large influx of Chinese tourists  .Pattaya  could potentially be at a very high risk importing this new deadly  VIRUS ...... confirmed  cases have already hit Japan ,South Korea and Thailand .

    The new strain of corona virus, which causes a type of pneumonia, can pass from person to person, China confirmed.

    Signs of infection include respiratory symptoms, fever, cough, shortness of breath and breathing difficulties

     

    Should the Pattaya expat community be worried ????
