Not only has this man been taken to Hospital with suspected Corona Virus, but there is also a report that another British nation reported feeling unwell to a Health Center after a trip to Thailand.

Something is starting to smell bad, and it aint my socks.

Could have been caught on the flight or in a transit airport. Both, especially airplanes, are perfect breeding grounds, and means of international travel for bacteria and viruses.

Which seems to suggest that in Thailand there's a lack of checking / screening somewhere in the check-in / boarding etc., processes.

Of course thailand does this meaningless quick temperature check for those on flights from China ! Just for publicity ! It(CV) will likely explode all over SE Asia

Thai prisons, unsanitary and overcrowded as they are, certainly are the perfect incubator for pretty much any infectious disease. I think it's only a question of time until there will be a major coronavirus outbreak at one of Thailand's prisons - will be interesting to see how they mishandle it.

Considering the number of inmates with TB, HIV and other ailments, a large number will die.

"Considering the number of inmates with TB, HIV and other ailments [in a Thai prison]"

What are those numbers?  Have you got some stats to back up that speculation?

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.

There aren't any cells in Klong Prem big enough to take 71 people, by a long way.

Let's hope that it stays away. 

How much access to prisoners have to visitors?

No direct contact, prisoners speak to visitors through a glass barrier using a phone.

OMG, what is Thailand not telling

You don't need to be in a Thai prison  to be a " super spreader. ".  I wonder if conspiracy theorist can find something the two had in common. ????

 

Quote

A British businessman who likely contracted coronavirus in Singapore, and traveled to France, Switzerland and England, is being dubbed a “super spreader” of the virus, because he has infected at least 11 people, the Washington Post reportedTuesday

Do people actually believe the nonsense printed in this newspaper? And I use the world 'newspaper' very lightly in this case.

What has probably happened is the guy has some disease, he collapsed, someone at the Sun heard about it, put 2 and 2 together came up with 5 and bingo it is the Coronavirus 

It sells newspapers

And he gets a nice payment for his story!

You do know that "the Bangkok Hilton" is a prison that keeps all it's inmates inside?  They're not allowed to wander around Bangkok!
