So it`s close to impossible, even if there was a government which take that serious. So forget it. It just shows me, that there is a real risk (at least in BKK). The government may think that the people are stupid, but it`s an easy statistical approach. Thousand of tourists from Wuhan have landed in January, before the city was quarantined. Just 1-2 infected amongst those is enough the spread that stuff. It’s not possible to interview her and find out exactly where she stayed or even places she visited? Mr lol?? Extremely easy.

He's from Ethiopia, where he was a long time politician and public official who helped coverup epidemics in his own country. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/13/health/candidate-who-director-general-ethiopia-cholera-outbreaks.html And whose country is a debt slave to China. Quote Between 2000 and 2014, China provided over $12 billion in loan finance (usually tied to infrastructure projects undertaken by Chinese firms). There is growing Chinese investment in the Ethiopian economy, while imports of cheap consumer goods from China ($3.4 billion in 2015) greatly exceeding exports from Ethiopia to China ($380 million in 2015). The Chinese appear to be interested in Ethiopia for political reasons (among African countries, its governance and developmental orientation is closest to that of China, and it hosts the African Union headquarters), and as a business partner. Ethiopia's focus on infrastructure has created numerous opportunities for Chinese construction firms. Ethiopia is also a significant market for Chinese exports that will expand as Ethiopia's rapid economic growth continues. For Ethiopia, Chinese finance provides critical support for the government's legitimacy, as electricity, transport, and employment opportunities continue to expand, stimulating economic growth and helping promote exports to other countries. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China–Ethiopia_relations 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks as if the Thai government just signed their own death warrants with respect to tourism. It is now going to be Chinese and Thai entry bans. Again?

Popular Post graemeaylward Posted February 4, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 4, 2020 "Tanarak Plipat, deputy director-general of the Thai Department of Disease Control, said the woman could have contracted the virus in Thailand. "It's possible because the virus is already spreading domestically in Thailand," Tanarak said." If the deputy director-general of Thai Dept of Disease Control is publicly stating that the virus is already spreading domestically in Thailand, the public has a right to know where the domestic Thai cases are, how many, and what efforts are being made to confine the outbreaks here! The Government keeps banging on about only 19 confirmed cases, all bar one originating from people who have visited China, but nothing about it "spreading domestically", which implies a much bigger total! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happyinthailand Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Thailand seems to have a static number of 19 Coronavirus people..... By the spread of it elsewhere, this would seem to be unrealistic. How can it be possibly true that a visitor from South Korea gets the virus but no Thai gets it? Far from restricting Chinese inbound tourism from China, Thailand has welcomed tourists from China and Coronavirus has only been partially resticted in Thailand by the actions of the Chinese government. Thailand is in danger of really killing off their tourist industry by it laissez faire attitude towards the virus. It really is time for some decisive leadership. Action and transparency can still save the day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallGuyJohninBKK Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 (edited) The BKK Post just posted their version of this news, quoting a Thai health official, and saying the woman had NO history of China travel... But no source attribution for that particular detail was given. The Post article also says the Thai health authorities are trying to get info from the Koreans on where exactly the woman was here, etc etc. Edited February 4, 2020 by TallGuyJohninBKK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
