He wants to "inject money"... By cutting taxes for instance.

But where the money will come from ?

Taxes.

????

Ah non sorry, snap, my bad.

From thin air, from debt with almost zero interest rates.

The same BS again and again.

But :

1-many thai people DO NOT PAY any taxes

2-you can't force a horse to drink : the lemmings who live in fear won't invest, won't spend.

No more VAT, no more income taxes etc.

The party is over. And the so called finance minister is as powerless as his colleagues.

You want every country in the world where there is Coronavirus to close their borders, the UK have more cases than Thailand now so they should close their border ?

The whole world would just down which would be disastrous all round I think. Yes quarantine every one who enters the UK from a country who have Coronavirus, get real !

my "get real" = pragmatism and history.

Closing borders / quarantine / stopping movements, that's the way humans fought contagious diseases for a few hundred years. This is the best way. The efficient way.

But your "get real" is simply ideology.

Globalists, commies, constructivists, xenophiliacs, crazies, or just plain dumbs millenials... choose your poison : the idea to close a border is just insane for those people.

It can't be.

The very idea of a border is something that trigger them.

There is zero thinking behind : just ideology.

And you summarize it perfectly with slogans : "it's impossible ! ", "we can't do it !", "get real !", "it's the 21 st century !"

Virus do not care about your ideology, or the economy or political correctness...

"Pruni", "next week", "we are on it" !

They have no clue. And run like headless chicken.

2 billions ? "4 !"

"8 !"

"12 !"

"28968735873"

Next week : the BOT will cut interest rates (after USA, Canada etc.)

Why ?

They don't know. They think its trendy, fashion... Big guys are doing it, so let's mimic them.

More free money. For nothing. Because no demand... For credit. More fake money into useless pits (Thai Airways, other "public" companies, and cronie's friend's companies) without any effect whatsoever.

This time, there won't be any escape. "Timber !"

Welcome to the global impoverishment.

But it's impossible to know if the patient is infected... with the virus !

First, the patient must be... tested.

????

So the whole "order", again, doesn't make any sense.

Another charade, wrapped in a riddle and put in a box of "mental disorder".

Well... At last Thailand tries. They lie with style.

As for the UK... Good old Orwell is back.

"UK's health ministry says it will no longer report location information on each new coronavirus case.
The UK will no longer provide daily updates on the number of new Coronavirus cases. Only one update per week will be given."

When it comes to being "commie" the Britts know how to do... Some things will never change (even with Brexit).

Even China gives a daily report...

At least, it shows that the panic starts to bite their axxx.

France should follow soon (they did the same with.... the monthly report about unemployment... ! Every month it looked too bad, so they just changed the periodicity...)

Anyway. The commies and constructivists bureaucrats are back. Full speed. Watch out.

They will always pretend to know better what is good for you, or not. Despite you.

... and for tests.

You know... With the masks that could be useful... ????

While we're eating our som tam... Israel did it.

Quarantine IMPOSED for all visitors coming from France, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Spain (i24news).

And while were sipping our tom yam  :

"Gene sequencing by Beijing Ditan Hospital found coronavirus in the cerebrospinal fluid of a 56-year-old confirmed #COVID19 patient with encephalitis, which provides evidence that COVID19 can invade patients’ nervous systems, just like SARS and MERS."

Snap. Too bad. "Just the flu !"

Oh... how unfortunate.

I guess we will have to add Malaysia to this list that doesn't exist -yet.

????

They've just announced 14 news cases... Total 50.

Wait a minute... More than Thailand (43) ?

But... But.... It's hot in Malaysia, isn't it ?

And they have much less tourists (from China etc.) than Thailand ?

Hum....

It's amazing. Thailand continues to have GOOD LUCK.

Lottery day, every day. ????

Bloomberg, at last, got it.

A western media.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-03-04/thailand-mulls-mandatory-14-day-quarantine-on-high-risk-arrivals?srnd=premium-asia

They are talking about those mesures.

That's all. Just talking.

The pseudo minister went too fast. General P and his cronies do not agree (money of course and face).

Hence the furious maelstrom.

At this stage, it's pure FAKE NEWS.

The whole lot.

So Nation, PBS, the hidden media with a hidden name (it becomes really ridiculous)... ARE ALL WRONG.

And if we think about it : it's perfectly rational.

The thai authorities will never have the cojones to take such decision.

I mean : to tell to a tourist coming from Italy "sorry sir, you must stay 14 days in your hotel. Or you go back where you came from".... is just preposterous.

????

"Tout est bien qui finit bien".

We will do nothing. And we will continue to enjoy all the funny viruses that all those nice tourists bring with them.

Sanook. Happy.

He's clearly a superstar.

But wait... when the number of cases will explode (i mean when it won't be possible anymore to hide them) and/or more and more nfected foreigners will show up in Thailand (because to this date, that's the main issue).... The guy is going to implode and then to explode.

Successively.

It's going to be a total show : noises, images, odors.

????

Anyway. With him and all his fellow "ministers" (convicted drug trafficker, generals in superb white uniform etc.).... THE SITUATION IS UNDER CONTROL.

And do not forget : "it's just the flu".

So Thais can catch the virus ? Actually ? Really ? For real ?

It hurts my feelings.

It's unfair.

It was not supposed to happen.

????

Latest study from China. 1099 patients, 552 hospitals, 30 provinces.

Very interesting.

https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2002032

It goes against all the BS we've heard.

-smokers

-only old people

-with coexisting conditions.

Median age = 47.

Special dedicace to the "just the flu" brigade. ????

No, it would be... show us some evidence of where you're planning to stay, or, face the prospect of being sent back to your home country.

Why you don't understand ?

I arrive in Thailand, from South Korea. I show a booking.com reservation.

Immigration gives me my 30 days.

(Admit that this is the case of MOST tourists.)

And then ?

AND THEN ?

I DO WHAT I WANT.

I can go out, go BTS, shopping malls... I don't have any quarantine to respect.

I can share my virus (if i am infected, but asymptomatic) with the whole freaking BKK.

So I repeat for the X times : it doesn't make any sense.

-A Thai who comes back, without symptoms : "please 14 days quarantine, stay home" (but not mandatory... first twist)

-A South Korean who visits Thailand, without symptoms : "please show me your hotel booking"

Okay ?

Is that clear now ?

I mean it's enough to deal with the BS coming from thai officials, the pathetic reporting of Nation and other thai medias... but now even on TV.... It's exhausting.

Asymptomatic carriers are the ennemy. The guy who disembarks from the airplane with 41 degrees fever, and coughing.... is easy meat. We don't care about him.

I don't know where you're getting that idea from. I don't see anything in the news report that suggests your interpretation.

 

The article from PBS.

Those who do not have a permanent residence or lodging in Thailand are required to show officials, upon arrival, evidence of where officials can locate them during the 14-day period.

A tourist doesn't have a "permanent residence".

So I repeat : "what's your phone number ?"

That's all.

So we are back at square one.

A Thai who comes back from a small trip in South Korea : 14 day quarantine (but no law to impose, like the Watchman told us)....

A South Korean who comes to Thailand for a small trip : "Leave us your phone number".

Pure insanity.

The last line of the article ain't good ????

OK I apologize (to the minister).

But it's the fault of sxxxty report of Nation ! They are talking ONLY about "returnees".

So to summarize : this list applies to THAI people who return AND to FOREIGNERS who visit Thailand.

Visitors and Thai citizens returning from the high risk areas will be subject to 14-days home quarantine, even if they are cleared of the disease, unless they have permission from health officials

But as usual... there is twist.

Those who do not have a permanent residence or lodging in Thailand are required to show officials, upon arrival, evidence of where officials can locate them during the 14-day period.

????

So basically tourists coming from those "risky" countries.. well... they are free to do what they want. No quarantine. Just leave a phone number.

Ah ah ah ah. What a joke.

SO I TAKE BACK MY APOLOGIES !

The minister is totally inane.

I am frequent flyer I use regulary Thai Airways despite the fact that they are for far the

Stop using Thai Airways. Simple. For Europe, middle east companies can't be beaten.

Thai Airways : low service, sxxx airplanes, and more expensive. 

Why hurting yourself ?

And if you cut them, you'll have a precious bonus ! The pleasure to give the finger to a bunch of old and pseudo "generals", and to hurt them at the wallet !
