But they all gather at markets. Even on the island I live the market is open all day but everybody goes about 5 to 6 pm.

It's mind boggling.

New evidence says that heat, humidity and sunlight can kill the virus so these numbers seem plausible although I'm sure many other people have it with no symptoms.

Open up businesses but keep each province close(no travel between provinces for a couple of weeks).

Then reassess the situation. If there is a outbreak then lockdown the relevant province again. Repeat the process until everything is under control.

Ironically you can still visit markets where people are shoulder to shoulder handling this and that.

Considering the alleged numbers now they should start opening businesses expect entertainment venues.

Keep the precautions like masks, temp checks and alcohol like they have at 7 11, Thai wasadu, Makro etc but don't allow travelling out of the provinces yet.

That way if there is a rise in infections then only the relevant provinces need to go on lockdown again.

Indonesia sort stuffs up the theory & Singapore in a relapse

Wasn't Indonesias caused by religious festivals?

Why the hell would you give a 9 year old kid 1.5k baht? Why not give it to the parents? Who knows what the kid will spend that money on...

Pretty sure the parents will take it to spend on essentials

Somebody posted a video here with a German doctor saying that if the old and vulnerable were locked away and let the young out  the virus would disappear just as quickly as isolation.

There was also a FB video of a doctor at a NY hospital saying he wasn't scared of the virus anymore as he understood it.

Saying that you need 15 to 30 mins exposure to get it and that most people gave it to themselves by touching a surface band then touching their eyes or mouth.

I have been driving here almost every day since 1990 and have yet to see even one one dead body on the road, though i have seen many accidents. Not saying that 60 people here are not dying in accidents every day. But you are just being over dramatic claiming that each and every single day, a driver in Thailand has to drive past 60 dead bodies. 

I live in Rayong have seen at least 1 a year for the last 7.

I've said it once and i will say it again. Face masks DO help! 
Anyone willing to deny this should take a look at Europe and America where very few people wear masks. And then compare that with Asia where a high majority of people do wear them. 

There is a doctor from one of the best hospitals in NY talking about the virus and saying how we understand it now and how to avoid it.

He say that you can not catch it by walking past someone(unless they sneeze or cough directly in your face)

He said you needed 15 to 30 mins exposure to a infected person.

Said that most infections were caused by people touching their own faces.

How's the lockdown on Samet going, do you have the booze ban curfew there?.

Yes no alcohol for sale now at all. 

That graph shows up to 27th so we are a week behind on the actual numbers. ????????

I definitely think that international travel should stay banned for a year to minimise future waves of the virus.

Unless people do the 14 day quarantine.

Ok. Another april fool's joke? Koh chang is a small Island and how can they make up a sum of 10000 tourists.  Is that a yearly sum?

Ko Chang is the second biggest island in Thailand after Phuket 

If wearing a mask is prevention of covid then the people wearing them would be protected from the ones who aren't right?

I reckon they have locked down Phuket to try and rid the Island of the virus and then they will keep the Island isolated but open the airport again, result? The return of the Chinese hoards. 

If it's anything like the island I live on then yes the island is on lockdown to non residents but residents can come and go ????

Influenza is a common cause of pneumonia, especially among younger children, the elderly, pregnant women, or those with certain chronic health conditions or who live in a nursing home. Most cases of flu never lead to pneumonia, but those that do tend to be more severe and deadly. In fact, flu and pneumonia were the eighth leading cause of death in the United States in 2016.

Interesting this one is not targeting the young!!! Apart from that it seems by percentage that is two or three times more serious than normal flu. Probably by the fact that it is so contagious so hospitals cant cope with the numbers.

All the taxes we pay and all the money that seems to get lost or wasted and when its really needed the people suffer. We really have allowed the powers to be to manipulate us so badly that we are nothing more than sheeple.

I feel a war will be on the cards after this settles.

Where I live people are treating it like a holiday.

See people here drinking and eating in big groups. Wife just got a call asking if she wanted to go drink beer( no doubt hands in ice separated in glasses)
