The lead article here today is that a mass exodus is already underway. No doubt fuelled by this kind of speculation. Living in Isaan suddenly got a whole lot riskier. Our local village markets have all stopped though, presumably by Provincial Governor's order since I'm not aware of a nationwide order closing all markets.

 

But how on earth will these vendors survive?

Possibly by robbing “rich” farangs ... id keep a low profile if I were you.

See ... Prayut was right about foreigners! As the bodies pile up, they will need a suitable scapegoat. Farang.

Good that Chiang Mai are taking this seriously. I wonder if increasing numbers prompted that?

People were still getting Spanish flu in the 50s....this ain't going away quickly

 

Sure, but 50 million didn’t die in the 50’s. A combination of herd immunity and weaker mutations will reduce its impact.

Wait and see, you might find that Thailand has opened up by May. As for a test certificate, I believe that private clinics will be offering that ... I read one in Harley St is doing so already. There will no doubt be one where you live soon. But make sure you get the test close to the flight, as they may impose a time on it.

people should have stopped travelling, that was the idea behind closing sations and train line routes etc.

Some people have to travel.

I would guess around June things will start to open up, with the numbers beginning to fall from middle of May. 

Thats presuming that you are still here? ????

Spreading the love ... corona love.

Sleep longer, it’s good for your immune system. Watch TV or Netflix, and make use of the internet. Reading can pass a few hours quite easily.

i don’t think it is healthy to lock yourself away. So go out for a walk or a cycle. But when out avoid crowds, shops, cafe ... just keep away from other people.

In other words, don’t come to Thailand.

If she is young then it makes sense to self isolate. She doesn’t need to be tested, it won’t change her situation. Countries are not testing because they don’t have enough kits or staff to undertake testing. So the published numbers in every country are inaccurate. You don’t need to do anything. If her breathing changes to the point where she needs a ventilator, they will test her. If she is young that is highly unlikely to happen. 

There’s a lot more young people in intensive care than young people seem to realise. Idiots like this lady are stupidly encouraging young people to behave irresponsibly ... and bring death to their friends, parents and grandparents. Grow up bitch!

You might be able to get a cheap world cruise? The problem with ship should is they are Petri dishes for the virus.

Definitely, Easy Jet is a screaming buy, also Heathrow Airport holdings, Fraport, Carluccio's restaurant and Cineworld are also screaming buys.

 

Would definitely buy those companies with a glittering future ahead....

 

 

I wouldn’t touch airlines yet, but if my hand was forced I’d say that Ryan Air, with 4 billion in cash, will be the last man standing. They can tough it out better than most. I’m not convinced about IAG or EasyJet ... great buys if this passes quickly though.

If you take paracetamol it will bring down your temperature, and of course asymptomatic cases will walk straight through. I think it’s too late for Thailand, there are simply too many cases walking around shedding like plague spreaders.
