Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha cancelled his scheduled appointments on Thursday (January 30) due to illness.

 

A person close to the premier said Prayut had a fever and was fatigued and was resting at home on his doctor’s advice. 

 

His symptoms had no relation to Prayut’s visit to Suvarnabhumi Airport on Wednesday to inspect virus control measures, the person said.

 

In his stead, Deputy Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul presided at an awards presentation on Thursday morning and Deputy Defence Minister Chaichan Changmongkol chaired a meeting at the Defence Ministry.

Actually HK researchers made a quick test. Only takes a few hours. That was done about a week back but not sure what Thai hospitals are using.

 

The Japanese had test results back for the virus very quickly after their first planeload of 200+ evacuees landed back in Japan.

 

AFAICT, Thailand appears to have adopted a policy that they'll only confirm a virus case once the lab test result from wherever has been confirmed by one of a couple Thai government laboratories.

 

What's happening in that process, no one knows, and no one seems to be saying.

 

Samitivej Hospital noted the following in one of their posts here lately:

 

Quote

A specific biological examination is required to confirm infection in 2019-nCoV. A rapid detection examination has been developed by the National Respiratory Virus Reference Centre. Available at Samitivej hospitals. 

 

So if Samitivej Hospitals can do that test, you can pretty much bet the other major private hospitals in BKK can as well... And yet.... apparently... those aren't enough to satisfy those in charge.

He's sick .... and tired of the constant criticism; he has a permanent headache about all the problems he can't solve and maybe the polluted Bangkok air is contributing to his illness.

Early retirement sounds like 

a reasonable option, would assume he has a good retirement fund organised.

How, if it takes so many days to test suspected cases, does he get tested so fast?

 

In other words, they can test quickly, right?

 

????3-5 hours before test results are ready in Europe.

I think I had the flu once, whatever it was it grounded me for a full 2 weeks and even then I was kind of tired.

 

It might have just been a bad cold, who knows, but that was about 30 years ago and nobody else in the house caught it from me.

 

If he's got the flu at his age then he's in for a world of pain for a couple of weeks and there's no chance of a quick recovery in just a couple of days.
