Popular Post Sheryl Posted July 9, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted July 9, 2018 2 minutes ago, doodle said: Watching coverage on the BBC here in the UK. One of their correspondents seemed to infer that maybe the Thai authorities are holding off reunions with parents so they can have a stage managed big press conference/reunion with all the boys present. I have no idea if that is true but I wouldn't put it past them. They have shown quite a bit if understanding and compassion towards the parents thus far, making special arrangements for them throughout, briefing them of the impending rescue before telling the media, etc, etc I think it is more likely wanting to avoid undue anguish/worry for those parents whose children were nto in the first groups out. They may think that knowing that some boys are safely out and that theirs might be among them, may be easier for them to handle. There also seems to be concern to protect the boys from any source of infection in case their immune systems are compromised. That and other medical measures being taken may be excessive but better excessive caution than the opposite. 11 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard to know the truth on this and it also makes no sense to leave the weakest inside the cave. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OH so again the initial report on this was the weakest first due to the conditions in the cave, if left later their chances were less to survive-----amazing difference 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerry921 Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 I'm a little worried about by the different descriptions in various media of the boys coming out of the cave. Some have some of them being carried out of the cave on a stretcher, while for example we have number 8 walking out of the cave. It could just be the reporting, or it could mean that some of the boys today did not come through it as well as the boys yesterday. Hopefully its just variance in the media and not the actual condition of the boys. I am wishing to hear what we were told about the first four boys, that they are "all in good condition".

It's hard to know the truth on this and it also makes no sense to leave the weakest inside the cave. Depends on how weak is weak..and why weak. Certainly someone in need of prompt medical care should come out first but if is just qualitative differences in fittness among seemingly healthy boys, due to either lack of food or confidence, then keeping the weaker longer may actually be wise as more time to feed them and build their confidence.. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
