Phuket Public Health Office (PPHO) Chief Thanit Sermkaew said that the boy had an elevated body temperature and exhibited “likely symptoms” of being infected with some form of influenza or pneumonia.

So he's in hospital while the other passengers are now free to wander all around Thailand.
Not a smart idea if you want to stop a disease spreading?

  • They shouldn't be allowing flights from that place. 

  • So why are these tourists not being screened before getting on their flight. Makes to much sense to stop the person boarding the plane and possibly infecting other passengers.

Walking round my local supermarket over the past few days I have purposely avoided individual Chinese and groups of them, especially when I hear/see them sneezing, and of course they never put their hands over their mouth, so droplets are spread far and wide.

I put my background in there for people just like you. Because I knew i would be questioned on my credibility on the subject. Furthermore, I managed a multiple county Emergency Medical Services region in America for many years... this isn't my first rodeo on the subject as we say. Do you have ANY ability to offer up some constructive advice or opinion or do you sit there like %$^&%^&... and can only perpetuate the often stated ignorant petulant attitudes often displayed in this forum?

Sad to say that you are going to get some "derogatory" feedback by some of the TV members, and I don't know why it seems so prevalent here.

 

You stated your background because it shows that you have some knowledge in the area.....simple as that and good on you for doing so.
