hospital check bin.

 

you have visa or maybe union pay? 

So only false alarms here on HKT?

I not think so. Right now they performing temperature screenings on all cruiser pax going shore at Patong bay. Btw how high is your bodytemperature while waiting 20 minutes for the screening in full sunshine? Sure accurate screenings like the blood preasure tests in the hospitals. Why not check them before they left the cruiser? TiT.

Heard incubation is 2 weeks....

 

only answer is to ban all Chinese flights until China can get a handle and control over situation...

Haven't you seen all those zombie fillums? The world is coming to an end!

 

The fact that the death toll percentage is lower than with SARS or Ebola shouldn't get in the way of a good panic.
