Simpleton 

We saw the head of the pollution department here coming out with jaw-droppingly stupid comments about the PM2.5, and now we have the health minister doing the same commenting on the coronavirus. It’s as if these people aren’t qualified and simply buy their job positions.

Yes.  Loves to give 'orders' and 'instructions' but never does any follow-up.

Band aids and aspirin available at reception desks when they check into their rooms !

Unbelievable that a so called developed country doesn't already have a emergency action plan for such an outbreak.Classic case of closing the gate after the horse has bolted. Then again what would you expect from a room full of generals wanting to play politicians.

He's the 'ganga man' from Bhumjaithai. I think we can be assured of more comedy capers from the keystone 'cops' and assorted word salad pronouncements.

One simple solution - ban ALL TRAVEL between Thailand and China and forget the financial consequences. Life is more precious than money - well, to me it is!
