[Orton Rd]

Best would be stopping all fights from China and to start telling the truth

If countries start stopping all flights from China, as they are doing, it won't be long before they start stopping flights from Thailand also.

No death in Thailand ..
who told you ?

the official newspapers  which are of course "under orders".

Am more than willing to accept your theory, please  prove me wrong. 

You live here, who do you know who is infected?  Who do you know who has died from this virus?

With all the Thai citizens, doctors, and tourists living and visiting here, I don't think any death from the coronavirus could be hidden.  Social media, youtube videos, blogs, vlogs, etc.  would have posted any deaths by now IMO

Why does he think his best is not good enough?

 

Thailand has had zero new cases since the 5th February, falling from 2nd in the world to 5th and having the best recovery rate of any country globally. It's not just good. It's outstanding.

 

He has done a magnificent job and really should be the advisor on a global scale on effective management and treatment of the Corona Virus.

 

"It's simple", says Thai Health Minister. "It's very much like our road deaths, we don't count people who didn't die at the scene and it makes our numbers better" he said. "Same with Corona, we say they have pneumonia or lung disease, so we don't count as Corona. It's simple, but effective and genius".

How dare you interrupt a good old fashioned conspiracy theory by a Thai basher by interjecting logic and fact, shame on you.

Stop flights from Communist China.  No more action needed.

Who do you think controls the internet in this country?

And not it is not the providers but the government;
you should know that there is censorship on thousands of sites;
whether they are opposition, pornographic or other ...
very easy for them to control and even remove anything that is wrong with what they want to see and hear.

 

You'll answer me, yes ... but smart guys use TOR;
because you think that the engineers who control the internet for the government do not know TOR and how to know what is going on there .....

VPN.

 

There's hundreds available with only a few clicks. We're not as dumb as you think in China.

 

Controlling the internet is like trying to drink beer from a colander.

Where I live in Northern Thailand we regularly see convoys of SUV's bearing Chinese plates, mostly golfing tours as far as I can tell since they always seem to stop at one of the premier golf courses in this neck of the woods.

 

And I'm guessing that if I lived in China and they had banned all flights into Thailand I would simply fly to Laos, Cambodia, Myanmar or where ever and simply transit.

 

No more action you say, hmmm!

As brainwashed as the multitudes who seem to think that the "government" is there to protect them, not take care of the corporations that they represent?

Be realistic ..
You can use all the VPNs in the world; if your government turns off the tap nothing will happen.
He'll keep it open for itself and that's it.

So what have you read from TOR on coronavirus?   Or are you saying that their "anonymous platform" is also controlled by the government?

When you don't want to understand you don't understand ...

You push the " on button " on your computer and dammit! power outage ; How do you access TOR or use your VPN?

This is what the government of your undemocratic country does when it does not want destabilizing information to become known to the public.

He presses the OFF button

While I agree there are a fair few conspiracy theorists around here I do not think you and a few others calling everyone thai bashers is any more helpful.

Most post I read are media bashing or government bashing NOT thai bashing. Of course there are some idiots but I just ignore those

Probably because his unfortunate outburst cannot in any way be seen as racist. Pig ignorant for sure but this doesn't equate to racism. Not even close.

We are not brainwashed. The Central Plenary Committee of the State Council of the Peoples Republic of China says so. Twice a week.

 

So it must be right. ????

Thanks to the Thai government's complete lack of transparency, "ifs" "buts" and "maybes" are all we've got.
