Popular Post ponder Posted February 12, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 12, 2020 A friend of mine was released from Klong Prem prison about a year ago. While incarcerated, he shared a room with seventy others, and they slept practically on top of each other. If this virus gets into the prison, it will spread rapidly, and I do not now how the authorities could cope with it. Let's hope that it stays away. 4 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sahibji Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 the thai prison he returned from should also be "locked down" in the interests of the other inmates and the staff who also would have come into come into contact with this person. a big job but better to o it now rather than later. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this proves true, then it will be a nightmare. There is still hope it is "suspected" and not the Corona virus. Thailand might just be using it as a smoke screen, for something else. Like they did with Ashley Shorley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tayaout Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 (edited) That might explain why there was a news a couple days ago that they (Thailand) are currently training some prisoners to assist medical personnel in case of an epidemic.

baruto Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 I just read an article explicitly stating that two UK prisoners test positive after showing flu-like symptoms. https://inews.co.uk/news/uk/coronavirus-in-the-uk-prisoners-test-positive-hmp-bullingdon-oxfordshire-1474438?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post smedly Posted February 12, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 12, 2020 Is Thailand lying about the numbers - IMO they are, what they are reporting to the press I find impossible to believe and the WHO should call them out on it I could possibly believe the numbers if they meant something different - would make more sense these numbers from a week ago 32 infected - 600 ? (being tested or some other nonsense) How about 32 dead and 600 infected - I could start to believe They refuse to let a cruise ship dock with no reported virus on board yet they keep their borders open to China ?, am I missing something ? 6 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the cruise ship requesting to dock is the one that has been off Japan which Japan and 4 others have refused docking? If that is the one the number of cases was over 60 last I checked. If a first world nation cannot handle disembarking the ship, it should not fall to a country with lesser medical resources for a pandemic. "Thailand on Tuesday became the latest country to block the cruise ship's passengers from disembarking. It had already been turned away by ports in Taiwan, Japan, the Philippines, and the US territory of Guam."

Considering the number of inmates with TB, HIV and other ailments, a large number will die. I have a Thai friend in jail with a low immune system who has twice contracted TB during his 7 years inside. I have warned him about the virus by mail. Thai jails are tailor made for the spread of disease and infection. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a Thai jail the mortality rate would be much higher due to the weaker immunity systems of the many prisoners who suffer or have suffered from the likes of TB etc and the overcrowding in cells.

The incubation period is not known exactly, there are cases that show up weeks after exposure, there are people that test negative... go home... then show up positive a week or so later... There are 4 other countries before Thailand, a number have better pandemic medical support... if they are clean - send them to back where they boarded (HK I believe). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
