They throw all these numbers and percentages out there, to make it look like they have a clue about whats happening...

But they still can't say how many people have actually been tested or are being tested !! 

 

If these are genuine numbers then there is no justification for curfews and business closures now... Oh but we have to worry about the 2nd wave right.....

But you have a clue. Right?

"WHO" is that who we are relying on for future guidelines, we are in trouble, The director is a member of the Ethiopian People's Liberation Front. Which is in solidarity with the CCP, refused to let Taiwan join - least they wont let politics get in the way ????

They repeatedly insisted that border closures and stopping flights would make coronavirus worse & aggressively advocated against these measures.

They told us for years that Glyphosate was safe etc, etc, 

Least we have our Freedom! ????

+ the money of Bill Gates is their biggest advisor ?

Do they really believe that there is no sale or enough stock of LAU KHAU ?
And please let's add a zero to each of the numbers. Get real !

Here it is. The Junta  govt. can't afford a 24hr curfew because they know it will be the end of them. Drop the numbers. Make yourself look good and avoid the consequences political, social and ecomocic. The drop in numbers is a smoke screen.

We need more morones like you ...

Based on even the steady +/- 100 new cases per day figure, there wasn't much justification for the latest threats to ramp up the curfew and various other measures, if we get a few days at the 50 level then there'll be even less. I'm guessing the authorities are in headless chicken mode, as they are in a number of countries, and simply want to be seen to be doing something, anything. As somebody said recently in the UK government, they're basically damned whatever they do. If they turn the screws further on self-isolation then they'll be accused of going overboard if it works and numbers start to decline, while they'll also be accused of not doing enough if it doesn't work and numbers continue to increase. Who'd want to be a politician at the moment?

Politicians around the globe just have to ask the "TVF experts" who are specialists in every field.
One thing i learned during this COVID-19 period: There are much more stupid and selfish people on this planet than i ever thought.

A German, probably backpacking digital nomad, who preferred to "get trapped" at the nice island beaches instead of going back to the European chaos ?
Shut up please !

Given that no one knows if they are carriers until it’s either too late and you’re fully blown and ill, or may be a carrier and non-asymptomatic it is appropriate to assume everyone is a carrier and act accordingly. 

So far I have seen nil I repeat nil disinfecting of common area surfaces in the government buildings on Phuket I have visited in the last week or so (designated as essential for me to do by Thai Law) e.g. Disinfectant - wiping of doors, door nobs and handles, handrails, benches, chairs, desks and counter tops, and spraying and wiping down of all walls and floors.

This needs to be done a few times a day in busy areas with lots of traffic.

Surely basic disease and general health procedure like this need to be put in place across the country.

I have seen scant promotion of such hygiene protocols (used in all

hospital facilities in the West other than the exception of wash your hands, and very late in the day to wear masks at all times when out of the home) by world leaders and press.

A national program of disinfecting everything everywhere needs to be rolled out and continued until the virus peak has tapered well off.

The condo complex in which I live has made absolutely no provision to daily clean common areas with disinfecting solutions nor provide antiseptic gel at entrances of lifts and stairs, no signage to direct residents to practice safe protocols, and reception area which to me seems lax and negligent.

Yeah I know, folks will say ‘oh this is how it is here.’

 

I have been twice at 2 government offices yesterday and today in Chiang Mai. DBD and tax office.
Both complexes with facilities to wash/desinfect hands, both places check temperatures.
DBD moved all chairs out of the office and works through 2 windows. Every second chair is blocked with tape for social distancing, no cash flow only paying by card is possible.
Yesterday around 4:30 they began to desinfect the complex with 3 big blowers.
Staff in the offices is nice, friendly and very helpful. Biggest respect to all of them !!!

Just to give an example from known numbers from the free societies from past viruses:

 

Chinese swine flu 2009-2010, in the US it lightly infected more than 50 million, most never knew, 280,000 were hospitalized and 12,000 died, that’s the swine flu in one country, if the Wuhan virus is more virile, then many millions of people would be lightly infected in each country and not even know, some will be severe and need hospital treatment, and some will die, same as the Chinese swine flu

 

This idea that a few are being infected every day is nuts, this land had its first public known infection on Jan 13th, maybe others infected far earlier, that patient was from Wuhan, China, a 63 year old tourist, for 2-3 months, very little was done, and very little testing,

 

the only way it goes to post-Wuhan virus panic, is when people want to earn money and work, and think, Sod it, few people die, it’s a waste of time these lockdowns, and start to rumble, revolt wise, and authorities panic, and allow post-Wuhan virus way of life, and accept herd immunity, as vaccines are a long way off, that way hospitals can be better prepared for extra severe patients, most people have learned to be responsible, and greater amounts of testing,

being with these gangsters in charge, you never know, but they will start to panic too, about people’s reactions, forced not to earn money 

Looks like any country has "gangsters in charge" nowerdays...

In nation of 70 million people, 2 have died attributed to WuFlu since January, and the first person who died had existing lung complications.

 

700+ infections, or maybe it's 7000 because you don't believe govt stats, or maybe it's 70,000 because you don't believe govt stats and lots of people who have WuFlu aren't or were not sick enough to go to hospital and officially get tested and affirmed. Even if you chooses to believe 70,000 that is 0.001 of the total pop and but 2 people have died.

 

But govt, official doctors, leaders, and half the pop is crying the need to further shut down the country effectively applying martial law. Bankruptcies, loss of jobs, loss of incomes, and mass fear will most certainly drive the country into a bad depression and all the misery and deaths that come with it.

 

All because 0.001 of the population is wildly "guessed" at having WuFlu, or if you believe the govt, then it's 0.00001 of 70,000,000 people, and 2 people died.

 

The government has shot themselves in BOTH feet, and they are cocking the hammer and taking aim at their head. Sad that most people can't wake up.

You didn't get the real things yet, mate? What a lot of BS are you posting...

The Power Structure of Thailand don-t care about citizens die, this can also be demonstrated by the deaths from road accidents for which no action is taken, or citizens falling ill with respiratory problems because of the shameful air quality.

In short, the Power Structure considers the subordinate social classes racially inferior, they consider them as animals that have to work, consume and die without bother.

What are you smoking ?

Dear Minister.
1. Is it enough if I shower 2 times a day ? (I even use soap and shampoo both times)
2. If you want to see Chinese tourists, please go to the immigration offices at Promenada and at the airport office, where they extend their visas.
   Was there 2 times this week and could see Chinese both days.
3. If you want to see more Chinese tourists please go to the big malls, f.e. Central Festival.
4. Buy cheap eye glasses and count the mask wearing people again. I would say you will get on a 50/50 result.
5. Please tell me where to buy masks!
   3 pharmacies at Mae Jo show a sign "masks sold out", in the 4th place I could get simple masks for the rip off price of 25 baht each...
6. Many farangs are shabbily dressed? 
   That's the only comment I can give you 100points for. ????

Nah, that´s just the whole point that you obviously missed. That information is out of unknown reason missing.

 

Just think like this. Thailand was from start pointed out to be the most vulnerable country outside China, due to it´s big connection with China.

After that it is suddenly more people that are dying in a lot of other countries more far away and with much smaller connection to Chinese people. Doesn´t that make you wonder?

Are you living in Thailand ? If Yes > WHY?
