KLAX, is the ICAO airport code for Los Angeles California,

and locally they call it LAX,  just in case some posters are curious.

  just doing my bit.

Geezer

So some say do not blame China for Covid 19, well how about SARS.?  I know

it started in China. I was there and it was being taken very seriously, by the locals,

and the airport we arrived at. nicked named SARS City at the time.

Geezer

Get home before you have to take a freighter to do so.  Canada is changing. Westjet, and Sunwing

have cancelled their international routes. 

Geezer

Maybe there will be combined passenger freighter jets flying soon, since less

people and more freight needed to keep bankruptsy at bay.

Geezer

Maybe the exulted leader wants to get the virus,  besides the N95 mask is not very

stylish. I see many fancy looking masks, so is this the new niche market?

Geezer

I got back to Canada on the 15th. No masks, no temperature checks, no questions, either i Vancouver or Calgary. Many of the passengers were not wearing masks from Taipei to Vancouver.

In BC and Ontario virus cases are going up. Now finally on the 17th. 4 airports are

the only entry points and maybe the arriving passengers will get checked, and maybe some

airport staff will start wearing masks. In the USA  there are lots of cases of virus as well.

Get ready to see a lot more cases here in Canada and the US.

The government says all peoppe coming from Europe and Asia

will have to self isolate for 14 days.  Serious times folks, like I am doing

Geezer

How about opening the beaches on Wednesdays . PM Prayut, or do you not have authority over

the Army?

Geezer

Sorry sandf, you seem to believe the official government numbers, do you remember how those numbers climbed to the 30s then stopped? It was not because people were not getting sick, but

because the officials did not want higher numbers. There have been people douting th

numbers, and that isthe smart thing to do. In my opinion anyway.

Geezer

So this guest who spread the virus, contacted it how? Was he or she a traveller

who went to a virus hot spot?  Careless radio station procedures for sure, by

not checking people, now more are at risk.

Geezer

What was the test, a temperature test, ahhh no fever, you are okay to leave,  bye.

  Is that the test? I wobder.

Geezer

My last post was totally messed up. In Bangkok and at Taipei,most Asian travellers wore

masks, while only some Canadians and foreignors did.  Less people on a full plane from Taipei to

Vancouver wore masks. In Vancouver and Calgary, no airport staff wore masks

and there were no checks done on passengers. Total stupid

attitude to have, so expect more cases to happen in Canada

Geezer

I am expecting to see a big spike in Covid 19 cases in Canada. Yesterday I foew from Bangkok to

Taipei Taiwan, almost all Asian travellers wore masks and some foreignors did as well. In Taiwan

I boarded a full B787 flight. Most Asian travellers still wore their masks, and only some

Canadians and foreignors as well. What bothered me wae that so many younger travellers,

including parents did not have masks. There were lots of people coughing during the flight

and I saw a few who did not cover their mouths when they coughed. In Vancouver, nobody

got screened for anything, no staff wore masks, and the same situation at Calgary. I could

not get over the total difference in attitude. The Canadian government is advising for their

citizens to return to Canada.  Some smarter travellers are wearing masks and rubber gloves.

Good luck to all.

Geezer

With all the events being cancelled around the world, maybe the air may be a little cleaner.

  I think that there will be major spikes in the virus, in many countries after seeing

the people 50 and younger, even young parents with their kids, travelling back from

Thailand, and Taiwan, not wearing any face masks. In Taiwan, I seen many  Asians taking

the outbreak serious and wearing masks, but only less than 50 percent of the Canadian

travellers wearing any. In Vancouver B.C. none of the airport staff wore masks, and I did not

see anyone checking temperatures anywhere. The same for the airport in Calgary, Alberta,

the lax attitudes will likely affect the spread of covid19.

Geezer

Until the entire present governent get replaced by hopefully a non government, which maybe

someday, some year will be actually more democratic, and not so much like this

military attempt of a government, these, not so honest ministers, and top dogs will

try to get us and the Thai people to belive what they say.

Geezer

Another great post Rooster. I just finished 2 months vacation and got back to Canada late

last night. In Savarnabhumi I seen lots of travellers with masks, as I had mine on as well.

In Tai Pei, I had another temperature check, and seen many travellers and all staff with masks.

In Vanvouver I seen some travellers still wearing their masks, but not a lot of airport staff, and no Canadian domestic travellers with masks. It just show me that Asia is taking the virus

pandemic more seriously than Canada at least. Good luck to you and all in Thailand. stay

as safe and healthy as you can. I am glad that I got back to my home, before Canada, gets put

on Thailands dangerous country list.

Geezer

I just arrived back in Canada 9 hour ago, travelled via Tai Pai, and Vancouver

At Tai Pai, many people wore face masks, as I did, butat Vancouver, only ustravellers,

from Asia wore masks, and not all of them even wore the masks, so

it is notonly Thai peoplewho still do not tzke the virus threat

seriously. Goad that I do not have to fly anywhere for the next few months.

Geezer

Wow. 2020 is shaping up to be a mean year. Will it mean that the dictator will kill

the illegal carbon tax in Canada that was forced on the Canadian population, without a vote by all Canadians.  Will it mean the stumble of liar Trump, who may actually have to tell the truth soon?

Many questions to consider.

Geezer

The Corona  and SARS virus came from somewhere.  The early response from China

was not a good one,  and maybe the leadership will pay heavily when this present

situation is over. Maybe China leaders will not be the only ones in trouble, Right Trump, or

hiding PM Trudeau.  Ka Sara Sara.

Geezer

Only 7 days quarantine Boris?  Are you using Trump logic?  Trying to get rid

of the old pensioners?  How  nice!

Geezer

It was impossible to get a mask in Hua Hin for most people except, the businesses

who seemed to have their magic suppliers, also the local military, police, and

the hospital staff. Same for Bangkok, most expats, and foreignors bought before arriving.

  The rest of us are lucky if we can find them anywhere.

Geezer

Yes  the save our face  first country is just trying to catch up.

What else can be said.

Well at least  this guy did not do a runner like the other rich family

members, or the Red Bull murderer.  Just saying..

Geezer

It would seem that some people on the forum will only get the point, if it

was on the end of a stick. So thank you hobobo for your help.  There are still

some who are comparing this virus to the common flu, but maybe their

world is flat.   I am happy to see more strict checks at the airport, even if it means more time spent processing.

Geezer

This virus, may be the test case of the pestulants to come, and the stumbling countries

around the world are showing how badly they are handling this virus.

As someone else said,  maybe we are all doomed.

Geezer

Thailand, and other Asian countries are all Third World countries, and will

be until our grand children are old.
