AndrewMciver Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 (edited) If there is a breakout on the scale that is in China, then the Thai people are in for a rough time. The Thai government simply doesn't and hasn't put the resources in place to cope with something like this. You won't see any hospitals being built in a week in Bangkok. Secondly, on a economic point - if there is a large scale outbreak in Thailand, then it's going to hurt tourism no matter what. Surely the better solution would be to limit the outbreak, by temporarily halting Chinese arrivals till the virus was a little more controlled, and further conclusions. If there a large scale outbreak in Thailand, even Chinese tourists won't come ! Furthermore, by going all in bed with China on tourism, they are going to put other nations off from visiting.

El Matador Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 It's crazy to see how they can be nationalist on some occasions and be completly the opposite when national health matters. Yes cutting Chinese tourism for a while will cost a lot and might leads to a recession but it is better than detroying all the tourism sector and the national economy in case the virus starts to affect Thai people. On a positive note, that stupidity is making the baht weaker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tayaout Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 54 minutes ago, SCOTT FITZGERSLD said: that is not true. the official number of cases in thailand , until 2 days ago, is just 19. Italy has more than 200 so far. in this time and age, it really does not mattar if a country is near china. what mattars are other things like the efficiency of the health authorities, number of people who came from the infected area, and just luck. https://www.nytimes.com/reuters/2020/02/01/world/asia/31reuters-china-health-thailand.html https://bnonews.com/index.php/2020/01/the-latest-coronavirus-cases/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this has come out of China, think how bad it really is......... A major Chinese official said China urgently needs medical masks to slow the spread of coronavirus. This comes as the death toll rises above that of the deadly SARS virus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomauasia Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 On 2/2/2020 at 2:06 PM, DrTuner said: The result of this will be that Thailand joins China in the total travel ban area imposed by other nations, as it's unwilling to contain the virus, and tourism will be 100% decimated for years to come. Complete knucklehead. Take a look what happened to Europe with the refugee crisis. Guess where the Chinese will be trying to flee to when all others have blocked entry? His a loser and destroyed the country. One old man and so much carnage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overherebc Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 (edited) 11 hours ago, ThaiBunny said: How about the death rate? A few ways ways to look at %. How many die compared to total infected. How many die compared to how many cured. How many died who had serious health problems compared to those who were fit and healthy before being infected. How many died at home because they couldn't get to hospital and treatment compared to those who could and did. Depending on what side you're on you can spin the figures to suit your point. You can compare to SARS and MERS etc. Pick your own. Edit. Let's just say that people will concentrate on the negative and believe it before they will consider the positive.
