Like all of you I am reading dozens of these sort of posts daily, and it occurred to me I see no mention of the situation in Russia.

 

Have I missed something? They are large, close to China and frequent visitors here.

 

Maybe it's just information overload now.

Russia acted early and closed down their border with China  .Russia now has a low number of cases .Around one to two hundred aprox .

When I started this thread, who was to know that due to today's announcement, all bars will be closed for 2 weeks.

 

I suppose we now get a chance to experience not only what it would be like if our favorite bar was to close, but also our second, third, and forth favorite bar. 

 

I will be surprised if the closure is for only 2 weeks.   

I am guessing it will be one year plus .Not that i care as i am not there .

Best everyone stay holed down in their own Country ,wherever that is .This could last a year with nearly all flights grounded.

He said that there was no need to panic and hoard .If i was still living in Thailand i would immediately panic and hoard.

I have sympathy with the airlines but Ryanair are the leeches of the skies.

Ryanair made flying possible for loads of people like me.Before Ryanair ,Aerlingus charged £200 aprox one way from Dublin to London That was 40 years ago .They are still good value for short haul if you just take one carry on bag ,and dont eat on board .

It won't only be Thai. At this rate of decline almost every airline in the world will require serious government financial assistance within 2 months or will be technically insolvent or facing appointment of administrators.

When/if they recover ,i am thinking fares will have to increase a lot.

Its only the Flu (not so )

Or pay for online delivery already in place for sometime now - not too difficult, or have a younger family member or neighbour drop your shopping outside your door, not inconceivable

 

Alternatively you can go shopping now, put yourself at risk, with the other hundreds currently in a checkout queue at supermarkets - obviously crapping themselves hence the escalating toilet roll purchases - today limited to one pack of 30 only ????

From tomorrow the Lidl shops in Ireland will have shopping from 9 am till 11 am for seniors .Good idea i think . 

Man pictured walking past Pub with face mask.I was in Dublin City center today and i only saw 3 or 4 people wearing masks .Yes all the Pubs are closed.

 There have been, essentially, NO DEATHS from Corvid-19 in people under 50, as of March 16. Yes, you can get sick for a few days.  It's not a threat to most of the world.  Old folks, such as me, need to be careful + all efforts should be directed to the +50 year olds.
Honestly, why the panic?
Economies and countries are being destroyed all for the sake of an inflammatory news story.

In Italy half the deaths from the virus are under 50 .Their death rate doubles every 2 days .

Airlines in trouble World wide.Ryanair to ground 80% of its fleet from April.

Best thing is to take the essentials and a few extra Baht. Simply engage the services of an agent from the street, that looks the part, and be back in Thailand same day. Vientiane the same.

Its not done in one day at Savanakhet .You give in your application on morning of day one .You collect on afternoon of day two .No agent required .

Very true. 28000 people die every day in China. In nine weeks 2800 have died from Covid 19 related issues. Proportion is called for.

2800?  more like a million plus deaths.All the crematoriums working 24/7 in Wohan for 2 months now.Plus they added 46 more mobile ones .

Is paranoia a sympton of the alleged new virus? If so, an awful lot of Forum members appear to be infected.

 

More handwashing and wringing going on here than in Macbeth.

 

Maybe the mystery virus is really not as deadly as those pushing the panic buttons would have us believe.

How do you know the Thai government is giving out accurate information on the number of coronavirus cases?

Especially as the number of viral pneumonia cases has shot up in Thailand at a staggering rate since the 26 th of January.The numbers have  increased  by x 25 in just a month.

Corona viruses like seasonal flu peak in cold weather and die off in the heat so Thailand could be helped by the current high heat and humidity 

Singapore is just as hot and humid .

Vodka kills off all germs and viruses. Only 2 Corona virus cases reported in Russia. They must be the 2 teetotalers.

Russian did the right thing and closed the border with China ,but Thailand ???????

I would wait at least to see how this Covid19 pans out .

She is brave or foolish .I am not sure which .
