I now have a marriage visa but I think there point seems to be don't interact with actual tourists, which considering they are still trying to attract tourists is pretty dumb and unfair on anyone who works in the tourist industry.

Unless you have PR, you're a tourist. We all are. All we have are extensions on our original visas.

my original visa was a non-B ...not tourist

Neither have I. Not in 8 years. But conceivably this means my housecleaner and her husband, who does yard work for me, could be denied testing AND treatement, because they interact with me. 

They did explicitly say tourists ...we are not tourists so lets just hope there is some common sense????

If the test is positive, they will receive treatment free of charge.

I think this is pretty disturbing ... come and have a test ...if you dare!!!!

The target on our back just got a little bit bigger. So, this means your wife and your family, if you're married, too? Suppose so.

I would hope not as I hav'nt stepped foot outside this country for a few years, but it honestly would'nt surprise me

I don't think a anyone pays when the authorities require testing. You only pay if you chose to get tested out of curiosity.

it also sounds like you have to pay if the test comes back negative????

No. To be more accurate, if you include those extra cases, you would also have to include the extra deaths that have been attributed to other causes (like Dengue), too.

hmmm...not sure I agree with sticking on deaths willy nilly but I know what you are getting at. My point is the rate is actually a lot lower as many have low to no symptons with this virus, so will go undetected

1918 Spanish flu, also a Coronavirus, that Covid-19 is a direct descended from, killed between 50-100 million in a few months, 2,5-5% of the human population, yet it had only a 2,5% fatality rate while the Covid-19 has so far had a fatality rate between 0.25-12.2% (varies, but mostly between 3.4-8.6%). SARS had 11% and MERS had 34.4%, both Coronaviruses closely related to Covid-19. Viruses are among the oldest life forms on the planet, they're survivalists, specialists, has a short life span to evolve rapidly, mutates, copies and enters your genome, manipulates cells, but hey, we got Christophe75, so no worries... he got the expertise we've all been waiting for.

your covid fatality rates are based off confirmed cases ...the "experts" say 10x to 20x more actually have the virus so you have to divide by those numbers to get somewhere close to the real mortality rate, right?

 yes and my uncle has an elephant that does the backstroke. Is places like Iran not a hot country yet seen to have have have a lot more or Corona virus cases even though seemingly not even reporting to the full extent. Countries around the world are giving free tests unlike Thailand and personally I think that's disgusting considering many people could never afford to have the test

Iran is seasonal and fairly cool at the moment but I do agree about Thailands hospital money making scheme at this time being disgusting

Oh what a surprise! OTT baited BS headlines from the sun and daily mail

When did Thailand even get on a track?

I think the tracks were secretly sold off months ago

these comments clearly contradict Anutin's previous xenophobic/racists comments, hope TAT got his permission to post the video

It'll probably be deleted soon and we'll be told "staff members" were responsible

Pretty sure its just me but my thoughs were ....

She has tested positive apparently for COVID-19, I think the absence of beds is a true issue, and tells more than the numbers we have been given suggest.

She may well have it and there is a good chance you are right about the numbers but I would still say they would be silly to give out hospital beds unless you really need one... If she was in a bad way, pretty sure they find a bed for her .. can you imagine the public uproar if they let one of their celebrities die

Here's a BAD sign.... a comment from the popular Thai singer who's just announced she tested positive for CV....  She's one of the social elite, a celebrity, and she's having trouble finding a hospital bed???

 

 

https://www.thaipbsworld.com/singer-lydia-sarunrat-reveals-that-she-has-covid-19/

she has the sniffles and has been tested ... doesnt sound much like she needs a hospital bed to me ... the last thing you are doing when you are really sick is fannying about on the internet or looking for publicity 

Good for Chelsea ... We probably would've qualified for Champions League with our juniors which was better than I was hoping for. So it'll be nice to get some new players in the summer and start a proper season. Of course the real bonus in all this would be Liverpool missing out on the title... again ... Demba ba ha ha
