    Very muddled thinking.

     

    A 24 hour curfew but with specific times for people to all go rushing to the shops for food , ensuring the maximum numbers of people are in the same locations at the same time.

    It worked in China. Only 1 person per household authorized to go get food every other day. Not sure if they can implement this in thailand.

    How about people with valid visas like myself?

     

    Thank goodness we got back from the USA on Saturday night just before midnight!

    It's closed to foreigners unless you are a diplomat or you fly the plane.

    okay, okay...

    But at which age are we old ?

     

    I'm 71 old and when I cycle with my MTBike, a lot of young 40 year olds find it hard to follow me ..

    In some article I read they say less than 5 years and over 70 must stay home.

    Covid-19: Government to impose state of emergency

    Either the chickens are on strike or they've been given the lock-down order by big daddy.

     

    Went out to buy a tray of eggs this morning, dark side pattaya, local shops-none, big market on Soi CountryClub-none, KhaoTalo market-one small stand nearly sold out and selling at 50% inflated prices.

     

    Otherwise, markets not very busy, many shops closed, not all that much traffic, some people wearing coffee filters on their face, others not.

     

     

    Some poster yesterday said that some doctor said that virus can't penetrative egg shell thus starting a run on eggs.

    May i suggest to refrain from speculation? Simple search finds this article that reported daily test capacity between 7.5-11k as of 13-March, and in the process of expansion. However, i doubt they actually conduct tests to capacity.

    Has anyone seen official reports of the number of test conducted?

    They might have the capability but their own report seem to suggest they are not in a hurry.

    New testing method behind sharp increase in Covid-19 cases since March 15

    What a lot of old nonsense.

     

    The labs bolloxed it up. Or 2 tests were ordered by some numpty in governmenst because he did not trust the testing labs to get it right.

     

    It must have been obvious from the beginning that the numbers were wrong, I knew it and so did many others on TVF. It seems the only thing you can reliably expect from a Thai is still a foul-up. Situation normal.

     

     

    As far as I I know many countries use 2 labs. The difference is that they declare them as presumptive case without waiting for the second test result.

    An 80% mask compliance rate essentially eliminated the influenza outbreak.

    Virus spreads through sneezes and coughs with water droplets. They don't fly off individually but in clusters.

     

    The N95 would be able to stop the droplets of water.

    There is a study that found that these mask do in fact stop particules much smaller than virus. 

    https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2662779/

     

    "3M industrial filters were able to capture over 95% of particles down to 0.007 micron. That’s over 10 times smaller than the coronavirus."

    Please tell me where can I buy N95 masks or even surgical masks?

    Because all the pharmacies in which I asked are out of stock.

    And I definitely won't buy any (maybe used) masks from unknown suppliers on the internet.

    Try lazada. If you are desperate then multiple studies found that any kind of tissue/custom facemask is better than using nothing. Simply bring more than 1 and clean everyday.

    No they won't stop (I wonder if they use a seatbelt even tho they may not work) but I can add some links. 

     

    https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2440799/

     

    https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23498357/

    https://smartairfilters.com/en/blog/n95-mask-surgical-prevent-transmission-coronavirus/?rel=1

     

    But in my opinion the reason some government don't recommend using a mask is this:

     

    "Recommendations on face masks vary across countries and we have seen that the use of masks increases substantially once local epidemics begin, including the use of N95 respirators (without any other protective equipment) in community settings. This increase in use of face masks by the general public exacerbates the global supply shortage of face masks, with prices soaring, and risks supply constraints to frontline health-care professionals. "

    "Universal use of face masks could be considered if supplies permit."

    Dead bodies of Covid-19 victims 'not contagious'

    Sorry to be pedantic. Lack of details as usual.

    The corpse maybe. This is assuming all clothing and any bracelets, etc., have already been removed?

    For example anything plastic that may be on the body can survive 72 hours if it has the virus on it.

     

    I'm pretty sure they forgot to specify that there is a waiting period or desinfection procedure... It's obviously safe to be incinerated by the monk if it's already in a body bag and coffin. 

    Virus testing ready to reach warp speed

    "Thailand’s Ministry of Public health explained today that the sharp rise in confirmed Covid-19 coronavirus cases reported in recent days is due to new testing standards. In the past, two labs have had to show a positive result before a case was confirmed, but now a positive result from one lab is considered a confirmed case. The situation was explained today by Assistant. Professor Walailak Chaiyasoot said at the Covid-19 daily report press conference on Tuesday."
