Can't say for sure, but probably something related to the coronavirus. Yesterday we drove past the Chinese Consulate and there was what appeared to be at least 100 or more Chinese in some kind of a panic; pushing and shoving and screaming and some appeared to be trying to push the huge metal gate. Several security personnel were trying to diffuse the situation. We could see the police approaching as we passed.

 

Something is going on

maybe they don't want to go back to china just yet

can't say i blame them

i have a SNDWAY SW-825 and i like it a lot - way more sensitive than my xiaomi air purifiers that always read too low but matches local station (1km away) nicely when i use it outside

cost me about 1500bht from lazada.

Actually the flu (real influenza, not a "cold") at this time is affecting more people and kills a greater percentage

do you know how percentages 'actually' work?

today's guardian again:

Quote

Prof Gabriel Leung, the chair of public health medicine at Hong Kong University, said the overriding question was to figure out the size and shape of the iceberg. Most experts thought that each person infected would go on to transmit the virus to about 2.5 other people. That gave an “attack rate” of 60-80%.

 

“Sixty per cent of the world’s population is an awfully big number,” Leung told the Guardian in London, en route to an expert meeting at the WHO in Geneva.

Even if the general fatality rate is as low as 1%, which Leung thinks is possible once milder cases are taken into account, the death toll would be massive.

yeah he just stated that health experts are actually considering a death toll of 48 Million people.

but yeah fake news thats scary

just the flu bro no worries.

Time for the world to wake up and stop depending on China for it's cheap labor. Repatriate the industries, offer zero tax to come back home. The perils of trading with China are clear and present.

In Thai news forum I found one very confronting post. His point was that if your living in Thailand and presented with symptoms. Obviously fever etc. Then tested positive. The result could be overwhelming for folk without health insurance. Even with it and even if small print did not exclude pandemic situations. 

Overstay would be least of your issues.

I am not scaremongering. 

Some folk including myself have planned for return home country if health situation arises. This however in a new ballpark.

trust me they will treat you with or without money

what else could they do?

leave you downstairs infecting everybody?

leave you outside infecting everybody?

send you IDC and infect everybody?

deport you whilst infecting everybody? who would fly you?

quarantine you until you die or recover?

barricade you in your house and weld the doors closed?

shoot you?

i think they'll just treat you ????

then maybe deport you ????

chris martenson will say whatever you need to hear in order to buy his 'special reports'

this guy on the other hand does this stuff for a living:

10 Key Video Points

1. 50,000 new cases a day in china

2. Infections doubling every 5 days

3. Death rate is still unknown

4. China likely to peak in March

5. Epidemic peak is still a month away

6. It will be very hard to control this epidemic the say way we did with SARS 15-20 years ago

7. Cases are always underestimated

8. Death delays are as long as three weeks

9. Reported deaths outside China are not reassuring because of delays

10. We still don't know the full effects
