rooster59 Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Anutin assures adequate supplies of face masks By The Nation Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Public Health Anutin Charnvirakul posted on Facebook today (February 8) clarifying that face mask was not a stock product of the Government Pharmaceutical Organisation (GPO). He said that that the GPO was selling 5 million additional face masks and he had ordered the agency to sell at cost price, adding he would order more if there were additional demand. Recently, government deputy spokeswoman Ratchada Thanadirek had remarked on Friday (February 7) about the difference in the price of face masks sold by the Ministry of Commerce -- which cost Bt2.50 -- against the GPO’s price of Bt1. “The reason that the government’s price is higher than GPO is because of higher production and transportation costs, while face mask was a stock product for the GPO so they can sell at a cheap price,” she said. “We confirm that we did not intend to jack up the price, so people should trust that this is a standard price.” Meanwhile, Deputy PM and Commerce Minister Jurin Laksanawisit also confirmed that the face mask price of Bt2.50 was appropriate considering the cost.

Popular Post DLock Posted February 9, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 9, 2020 5 million masks? Not impressed at all. You need to change the masks daily (or more), so this is meaningless. If you were serious about keeping your people safe, Anutcase, then you would make 200million available every week...and that still would not be enough. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post spidermike007 Posted February 9, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 9, 2020 This means absolutely nothing. Anything coming from this man of ignorance, means nothing. About his recent rant, he later apologized, but not to foreigners. He said he was sorry for losing it. He despises foreigners, as he is a racist, a bigot a xenophobe, and a fake nationalist. He knows nothing about anything. He has no background in health. If he knew anything he would be encouraging people to scrub their hands thoroughly ten times a day, which is infinitely more effective than wearing a mask. But, how would he know that? After all, he is only the health minister. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfd101 Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 (1) Any masks available in Surin? None that I can find, not that I propose to wear one for the moment but I guess the time is not far off ... (2) I assume that the falangs who refused the 'Health' Minister's offerings at Siam BTS thought he was just a no-good salesman trying to make a quick buck off others' sickness. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just this health minister. I am sure the people that actually won the last election could do much better if given their legitimate chance. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
