Is CP Land anywhere near Thai land? If so where in Thai land is it? As usual we have to fill in the blanks ourselves! Are there any real reporters in Thailand?

1) You cannot hide european like outbreaks
2) There are not reports news/social media of outbreaks
3) My wife works in the local hospital (BKk hospital KK) and we are both amazed at the lack of outbreaks over the past months.
BKK is, I believe, a private hospital. Covid-19 victims or those suspected of having the virus are taken to government hospitals which in Khon Kaen are bursting ate the seams!

How quaint! I've heard of "pigeon fanciers" but never before have I heard of "horse fanciers"!!

There is something that doesn't quite add up here.
1. The incubation period is said to be 14 days. The boxing match was March 6th. We are now on day 21 since the match but in the new figures they include 5 people who attended said match.
2. What has happened to all the PUI's? Yesterday it was reported that there were nearly 6,000 in hospitals "under investigation" for Covid-19 on 25th March see below:-
Hospital inpatient numbers for people with COVID type symptoms increased almost 12% in just one day from the 24th to 25th, according to MoPH statistics:
24th -- 5357
25th --5985
That's 3587 patients in government hospitals, and 2398 in private hospitals -- patients under investigation for coronavirus.
Now surely, a percentage of these would have the virus and if not, why are they hospitalised? I have a theory that the government may be using the same logic for recording Covid -19 as they do for Road Accident deaths. Once you are admitted to hospital, you don't count for statistical purposes anymore! Just a thought ????

So how are those trapped in Pattaya going to get a visa extension? Or will they be rounded up and deported? Surely Central Government departments e.g. Immigration are not subject to local Governors, or are they?

In another post today, it reported confirmed cases in Chaiyaphum! It is sad that misinformation at the highest level still abounds!

By the looks of the photo, the police are not keeping the recommended social distance of 1 metre (Thailand) 2 metres (Rest of the world) apart either!

Social distancing 2 metres! No we are immune! Crazy! They could be spreading the virus not stopping it! If they must test for fever, they should have the sensor on a stick, at least 1 metre long, which, together with the length of the arm should be just about far enough away for the recommended separation distance!

Why is it left to the Governor of Bangkok and provincial Governors to issue instructions and guidance about Covid-19! Where is the government and our revered PM in all this. In UK and USA, the PM and President are making daily TV and media broadcasts to the Nation! This country needs decisive cental government action Now! They are all ex-military, and should be used to making tactical decisions to beat the enemy. Covid-19 is the enemy, take action now to defeat it!

How kind of them to put a nobleman there to deal with problems. "marquis (plural marquises or marquis) A nobleman in England, France, and Germany, of a rank next below that of duke, but above a count. Originally, the marquis was an officer whose duty was to guard the marches or frontiers of the kingdom."
Normally Thai Immigration only have counts working for them! ????

That's reassuring to know! The last thing that I would want is for my "parts" to be affected! ????

Why do these places only shutdown for a specific length of time? Nobody knows the course of this virus here, but based on predictions, it is only going to spread at the speed of light and certainly won't be all done and dusted in 14 days! Why not issue a closure notice stating that places will be closed "until further notice" rather than giving people false hope!

Surely it would have been better to keep them in Bangkok rather than spread the disease nationwide! A 'Shutdown" does not prevent this, but a "Lockdown" would mean absolutely no travel and that would cut down on the spread of the virus! This Government have not got a clue and refuse to be guided by other countries experiences!

Trump coronavirus guidance on keeping gun stores open draws criticism
in World News
Posted
Guns are weapons of war and not needed by anyone. The argument about self-defence is totally invalid and makes people more likely to shoot first, ask questions afterwards. This herd mentality needs to be stopped! "he's got one so I must have one!" is a recipe for disaster. Only lawless societies consider guns a necessity! They are an abomination and should be banned! Most civilised countries have strict laws which prevent the average citizen from possessing firearms!
