in a few months we'll be able to ask them if it was worth it:

 

When you test more you get more positive results, besides the pcr test gives also positive results on other things than covid... but what about people in hospitals and icu? Reminds the same..we see that in quasi all eu countries....99.95% will not die from.covid 19...

Another false claim, and part of the conspiracy theorists playbook.  I have a Daughter who is a Surgical ICU Nurse Practitioner, She works primarily with Covid patients on respirators and has since this hit the US in Jacksonville Florida.  No extra money is heading into the hospitals pockets for claiming a case is Covid.  The fact is they are understaffed, overworked and lacking in protective gear.

39000usd when put on a ventilator! And now it appears it can be a bad threathment...

Even if it s true did you had a lool at the number  of people who had to go to hospital...and number of dead... covid 29 is not the killer virus ...

Maybe she contracted the virus later....alsi those pcr tests are not indicated to do this diagnose...

What happens when they are 10 days into their quarantine and another load of tourists turn up. Do they go to a seperate hotel. 

For it to really work the airlines would have to run like a package tour , where everybody on that plane stays in the same hotel.

So you would need 14 seperate quarantine hotels to accommodate 14 days of " package tours " to stop later arrivals mixing with the earlier arrivals.

 

And the other 7 days...in another resort on the island? So 14 resorts having each xx capacity...will take long to get millions of tourists...????

Antibody tests, not PCR tests.

The maker of this pcr test says this test should not be used to define infected or not...

100% true. It is here to stay until there is a vaccine. I hope Thailand doesn't do the panic buying stuff that New Zealand is going through, that will be a disaster for people who live day to day and week to week...

The chance that therebis a good working vaccine is very small...this virus has already 100 mutations... as with influenza we will have ro live with it..

Oxford University developed a new vaccination method for training peoples' immune system to produce more T-cells. 

If that works, it should be made mandatory for travelers to Thailand where no locally transmitted CoviD-19 case has occurred for 2 months now. 

How Thailand can have covid with such low numbers of testing?....
