A better way would be to quarantine people deemed vulnerable and organising a support group to make sure they get food, medicines and provisions, together with a period when they can get out and take some exercise, like a curfew period that “the rest” observe.
Business and retail can go on as usual and the intensive care units will be able to deal with the younger people unlucky enough to have a bad experience. After a few months we should have established herd immunity and some kind of therapeutic treatments ... and a little later we get the vaccine.
it would take a bit of organising but it’s doable.

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.

It is what Europe and the US should have done from the beginning. As soon as this virus exploded in Wuhan the appropriate agencies should have sprung into action ... fail to plan, plan to fail.

I have it on good authority that “making merit” shields you from Covid-19 ... and amulets.

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.

My take.
if you are looking for safety:
Tesco ... one of the only places open and busy, will benefit from pub and restaurant closures. But once the economy starts to open up pivot to a beaten down stock.Glaxosmithkline ... will be steady but pivot out once there is light at the end of the tunnel.
Potential to soar:
IAG ... British Airways owner. They haven’t asked for Government aid, and thought to have 18 months cash facilities. If light at the end of the tunnel will snap back quickly. Ryanair also cashed up and savvy, they may benefit from the carnage long term.
Burberry ... cashed up and will benefit earlier than most as China is likely to open up faster than Europe and Us.
Apple ... ton of cash and might just buy Disney to boost Apple +
Disney ... will bounce back and may end up being acquired by Apple.
J P Morgan ... beaten down but strong and savvy, when markets settle.

The right thing to do. The UK trajectory on deaths is higher than Italy’s at the same stage. London appears to be a hotspot. The decision to reduce the number of tube trains was an act of madness, as the carriages are now more crowded than they ever where. We are at the exponential stage of development so it’s going to get very ugly the next couple of weeks.

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? ????

The Financial TImes published a graph showing that the UK is on a higher death rate trajectory than Italy, which would be a horrendous outcome.
Deaths in Italy have exceeded China. My take on that is that the China actual death rate was considerably higher than they told the world.
Boris Johnson will really feel the pressure when the death rate begins to jump. The UK is not ready.

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.

Trump considers reopening U.S. economy despite coronavirus spread
in World News
Posted
The warning signs of problems ahead where there when Wuhan declared a lockdown. The US Government listening post for pandemics got shut down by the Trump administration, and the experts got fired. When the issue hit US shores they decided to make the testing kits in the US, instead of accessing the WHO versions. But the kits where faulty, and that lost them weeks. According to insiders Trump was warned that this was an issue but he was tinned eared, and wouldn’t listen. When you are a “stable genius”, why listen to experts?
So it was a screw up from the beginning, and Trump is reaping what he sowed. So what now? I’m not unsympathetic to those that, through no fault of their own, are losing their businesses or being fired. The UK Government are locking down businesses and backstopping salaries and providing loans to ensure that businesses are alive and staff is in place when this virus passes. The problem is that the US has lost momentum on this, so millions are losing their jobs as Congress negotiate their own special interests. Meanwhile the virus spreads and more people die in the near future.
In my view the only way out of this mess is not to let it rip in society as that would be a big problem given that it impacts the obese, high blood pressured and type 2 diabetic the worst. So you need to quarantine people who could die and create a support group around them, taking care of their food and medicinal needs, and offering them compensation, guaranteeing their job so that it doesn’t kill them financially. Keep that up as long as you need to get the equipment, staff and testers in place to control the spread. At that point you can let them free into a population that has an element of herd immunity and proven therapeutics to minimise deaths. If these folks are in quarantine the younger people affected can get hospital care. And while you are doing this you can keep the economy open. It gets Trump what he wants without throwing a million people under the bus.
