I don't see what's all fuss is about, they will be restricted into quarantaine. Koreans and any other nations can fly into Thailand as tourists without restriction, correct me if I am wrong on this, why make a big deal that are Thai nations coming back from Korea?

Korea may be high on numbers of infected virus, but 93 percents are related to a MANIAC SECRETIVE CHURCH  and concentrated in the city of Dague and KyoungBuk province. Take that out of equation, Korea's infected rate is not high compared to any countries. Korea is handling the surprising secret church spreading with confidences and can't say how countries could have done effectively as Korea.

I am in the US on personal business for a couple of weeks and schedule to go back to Korea next week, and friends here are asking me to stay until the Korean situation subsides. I love being in America and enjoying my time here, but as far as Coronavirus case, I feel safe in Korea than I am here in the states. I have seen how quickly Korean people mobilized to deal with the extraordinary situation at the beginning of virus spread. I know it's scary looking at the numbers, but now the maniac church member spreading is almost contained, things starting to looking up a little, fingers crossed.

People there are alert and do what needs to be done and being transparent in the whole process.

Can't say same about the US and some other countries, clueless.

Scare to imagine what would happen anything like secret church spreading occurred here, not even test kits available.

I don't have health insurance here, gave up mind last year, trying to get the Korean insurance but need to be in country six months before to enroll national coverage. Korean national insurance is the fraction of the cost of US, and medical services is far advanced in most cases. Coronavirus treatment is free in Korea.

Read many countries are wanting to buy the test kits from Korea at the government level, including Thailand, and they are working over time to send kits to other countries.

It is nine months since I was in LOS and that is obviously too long, as the first thing I did when I saw this story was to blow up the page to view the "female" foreign shoplifter - has anyone else done this ? She looks like an 18 gallon beer keg sitting on two tree stumps ! Thank goodness for Thai ladies, including the missus who at 48 is still a thousand times more attractive than this petty thief. Even with alcohol being included, I doubt her chances of scoring a date in LOS any time soon. Reminds me of the time a girl in a pub in London, when I rejected her advances said "you are drunk"  - to which I replied, "yes and you are ugly, but tomorrow I'll be sober." Happy New Year all on TV.

What do you look like Aussiepetter? A little curiou
