Timwin Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 2 minutes ago, Sunderland said: Once this virus takes hold in the local community all bets are off. They don't have the infrastructure to cope with multiple ICU cases. It will quickly become a nightmare. The time for making unpopular, but wise, decisions is right now, not next week or next month. Up to third of patients require ICU care so hospitals will be overwhelmed soon if this spreads the way some simulations have predicted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possible ventilation if oxygen is needed. I don't know why so many Farang on TVF are worried?!?! Many TVF Farang in Pattaya are *voluntarily* killing themselves slowly with a bad diet, obesity, cigarettes and alcoholism. Coronavirus just speeds things up a bit. Giddy up! ???? That is the spirit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why does he make stupid comments like that, as he knows like everybody else it is not under control. He comes out with statements like this, hoping that the tourist will continue to visit Thailand and spend money, and he is not bothered were these tourist come from as long as they bring there money......

Logosone Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Thank you, obviously I am your sunshine. You're very welcome. Thank you also Dr Turner for posting those links. From your own link: ". Electron microscopy revealed a virus with a characteristic crown morphology: a coronavirus.". It's in the name. In addition they do DNA sequencing tests, since the coronavirus DNA sequence has been known for some time. Therefore seems that the risk of misdiagnosis is not high. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop the flights from China NOW. Close the schools NOW. Enforce quarantine in Bangkok and beyond for a minimum of 14 days. I know people will say that that is financially impossible, but do they want an economy at all in 4-6 weeks? Once this virus takes hold in the local community all bets are off. They don't have the infrastructure to cope with multiple ICU cases. It will quickly become a nightmare. The time for making unpopular, but wise, decisions is right now, not next week or next month. So, you're asking them to plan ahead? I agree. But ain't gonna happen. They want that money today. Will worry about tomorrow come tomorrow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

overherebc Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 (edited) Just an if question. If it spreads here and workers who are in food production/packing contract the virus and if the virus gets on the packed food how long will it stay viable in those pack conditions? I honestly think at the moment it really is only very dangerous to very young, old and with an illness that complicates its effects. The biggest hit will be to the health services and the costs that will apply there. Edited January 29, 2020 by overherebc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seajae Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 latest news in Australia this morning is that they have recreated the corona virus in a lab there and have given a sample to WHO and other world labs, apparently china refused to give WHO or any other country a sample so they could help stop it, they released some pics of it only. Really makes you wonder exactly what china was doing and if there is any truth in the rumour that the virus originated from a lab in china where they experimenting with chemical weapon research, anything is possible in china, they answer to no one and believe they are a law unto themselves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

URMySunshine Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 You will all be ok don't worry , calm down - the media is beginning to downplay this and the Chinese no doubt can't row back just yet having overreacted and caused the social media panic that ensured. There will not be some apocalyptic zombie virus global meltdown - just another flu pandemic not nice for those that get caught up with it but something that happens all the time year on year. This is the first viral /social media meltdown of the 21st century and will no doubt not be the last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lacessit Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Every international airport in Thailand has biometric finger scanners - both hands, not the two index fingers required in Malaysia. Every Chinese coming into the country will be touching those scanners. A good site for infection. Permit me to doubt everyone will be washing their hands before and after. The mode of coronavirus transmission is still not clearly defined. Seems to me every time Prayut opens his mouth, he achieves new heights of idiocy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overherebc Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Lots of posts here and other related threads on the numbers who die every year from 'normal'? flu. All true, but why add to the total by doing virtually nothing that will/might overload the health care system and have serious knock on effects. Factories having manpower problems with lots of sick staff and so on. Is it ok to say (x,000??) people die of flu every year and this will only add a couple of hundred to that and it will only be old or already sick people?? OK if it's not 'your' granny I suppose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
