It's obvious there are hundreds if not thousands walking around with the virus already. Full on denial and face saving going on at the expense of people's lives. Sounds completely par for the course, did anyone expect any different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InTransit Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Add Ban Phe / Koh Samet to the list, there's coach loads of Chinese tourists coming everyday for day trips to Samet. The 7/11 near the pier is like a minefield every morning with Chinese tourists shouting every where you turn ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christie Paul Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 What come to my mind is health authorities in hazmat gear and watching crowds of tourists through binoculars, saying "apart from the numbers rising exponentially, everything is fine".

Pedrogaz Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Well, I never, astounding stuff. If millions of tourists from Wuhan and China have passed through these locations in the last two weeks it's pretty much odds on that some infections will occur.

sambum Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 (edited) 1 hour ago, smedly said: they have already been told screening doesn't work which is why the WHO have an emergency meeting today People infected and spreading this virus are showing no symptoms which makes it extremely difficult to deal with - why has China locked down millions of people and huge areas of the country - they seem to be getting it No, they've GOT it! The only way to stop more people GETTING it is to immediately stop all flights to and from China (as per British Airways have already done) and temporarily stop all visitors from China until the crisis is over. However, that ain't gonna happen in Thailand now, is it, as long as TAT have any say at all in the matter???!!!

Jonathan Swift Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 (edited) Face masks won't do squat. It's just something officials can pretend is a good public service posture, something to calm the people and avert panic. Like just saying "don't panic". Even if the titanic is sinking, don't panic. These viruses are spread by peoples hands and the surfaces they touch. A mask cannot filter anything as small as a virus. So the washing of hands is the only effective advice Edited January 30, 2020 by Jonathan Swift 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spidermike007 Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Well, it seems like Tanarak is a real genius. He has scientifically come to the conclusion that tourist spots, where lots of people and massive numbers of Chinese people spend alot of time, are vulnerable. The reason why we are all safe, is that we can always count on this administration to hire the best and the brightest. Real saviors of the nation.

Megasin1 Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 yes...stay calm and ignore it....perhaps the PM should speak to Disney - closed ShangHai and Hong Kong, Starbucks who have closed half of their 4300 chinese branches, Uniqio, H&M, IKEA, McDonalds, Toyota, Hyundi and then there are those that are also repatriating all their workers - PSA (Vauxhall, Peugeot, Citreon), Nissan, Toyota, Hyundi - There may just be some government cover ups going on around this virus as profit making industries normally put their profits first....

Saving grace is that no Chinese come to our very poor village in the middle of knowhere, not even sure we show up on the map. So I stay in my self imposed quaranteen and not visit my favorite Chiang Mai until it is all over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken George Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Coronavirus is carried by people. The people who have it are Chinese. If they don't let them travel then it won't Spread. So why are they allowed to come to Thailand? One dimple answer.. Money! Looks like those in charge have vested interest in the tourist trade. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
