The virus actually comes from a lab in Wuhan, not from the animal market.. 

That's fake news. Easy to spot, in the first line:

Quote

Chinese Communist Party will finally admit

Commies never admit anything.

There is still something that bothers me ..
Cambodia has almost become a Chinese province;
as for Laos, it is almost the same thing with these tens of thousands of Chinese who make dams on the Mekong and who are truck drivers registered in China.
However, Laotians and Cambodians who rub shoulders with these Chinese people every day can pass through Thailand without taking the "official" routes;
myself, living not very far from Nong Khai, I know enough corners where we can pass discreetly in Laos without showing white paw ..
I fear very much that this virus is already "in force" in Thailand ...

Interesting advice...

 

"No unprotected contact with live wild or farm animals"

 

 

 

I also like "thoroughly cook meat and eggs". Is the unprotected handling of raw meat and eggs a risk?

There are plenty of conspiracy theories.  This is just one of them.  Until proven, they will remain theories.

Either you believe it or you don't. Just because you don't believe it, it does not mean they have to prove it to you.

Thailand's busiest airport said on Saturday it was awaiting more information from Chinese authorities before deciding whether to expand screening of passengers arriving from China to try to detect the new coronavirus.

How stupid are these people.  OK, well very. The Chinese authorities are pathological liars both domestically and internationally. They can’t speak the truth nor are they allowed to

Yeah but you'll be in Cambodia so why should you care? If I was waist deep in the joys that Cambo can bring I wouldn't be wringing my hands about a flu bug in China.

 

Which incidentally is all it is.

Im waste deep in the Mango right now and even the flu screws me up. I need stuff at Fortune Twon and Paragon,  but I am stuck waiting for the govt to put the chinese under lock and key.  

 

I told my kid to stay in the Phils. Three of her teachers quit today and went to the states via europe.

It's not a case of believing it or not.  There are a whole bunch of conspiracy theories out there.  Why would you pick one of the many and say "I believe that one".

I agree that there is a lot of circumstantial thinking in that there is actually a BSL-4 lab around 20 miles from the market.  It was cleared for opening in 2017.  There is no evidence to suggest that this was the cause of the outbreak.

The US has 13 of these labs. They come under the umbrella of the WHO.

Accoding to the BBC and the newspaper that can't be quoted on here, China is suspending the sale of packege tours abroad from tomorrow. Now that will have the Thai tourism authorities worried plus many businesses of course.

I heard that suspension stars today for all tours.

Yes, the point of the mask is you won't be digging your nose while wearing it. Reduces the possibility of the virus transferring from your finger to your nose. Any such guard, or manners, will do the job.

My daughter, who is a surgical ICU nurse in Florida, just informed me they now have a patient with confirmed Coronavirus in the ICU.  She said full precautions are being undertaken.

Oh, come on. I'm as ready for a doomsday scenario as the next person. But you can't come on here and say something like that without at least an ounce of substantiation. 

Cases are rising in Europe from travellers comming back from China...and there they are at BKK Airport, still "waiting" despite tens and thousands of Chinese traveling to Thailand ? Interesting...

They just updated it. 10 hours and the count only got up by a hundred or so. I don't think so. One data source must be offline/not updating, probably this one https://3g.dxy.cn/newh5/view/pneumonia

 

Or they could have simply ran out of necessary supplies to do further diagnostics.

Pig ignorant and contemptuous of the Thai people by the numpties running the show. The complete indifference tells a huge deal about this country.

And the sign is in English!!!!!!!
