So they deny a ship, with no reported cases of the virus, to dock but allow Chinese from infected areas to waltz on in !!!

 

 

 

Quite so.

 

Asymptomatic carriers (the majority of those infected at any time) disembarking from aeroplanes, continue to pass, unnoticed, without concern or further investigation.

 

The absurd pantomime around the ship (a "soft", high-visibility target) was nothing but a propaganda placebo for gullible, reassurance-seeking Thais, which also worked for an unsurprisingly large number of equally gullible TVF members.

 

The only way to stop it traveling anywhere it to stop all travelers from infected areas, not just those showing symptoms.

 

But that would seriously affect the "MONEY go round", so instead we get THEATRE.

 

Not to worry though, deaths continue to be targeted within a clear demographic, with a consequent very low overall death:infection ratio.

 

You're not going to die from it, neither am I, neither is anyone we know.

Call me a cynic, but this headline does not fill me with a warm inner glow and unbounded admiration for the RTP.

If everything is under control then why are we all worried ?

 

BS aside of course ????

 

Then why the mask? Nothing to worry about in Thailand. I read that on here so it must be true.

No...they don't!

The General, Immigration, and Donald Trump all say that everything is in control. That should give everyone confidence. 

Just keep in mind that the surgical mask’s design and intention are protect the wearer from spreading their own droplets to patients And function as a splash barrier in the environment....

 

tell me again why these people in the photo are wearing a surgical mask vs say a respirator which is designed to protect against infectious air transmission?

 

talk about an image vs reality scenario....

Agree. And I suspect the Thais didn't want to accept the ship because the attached international publicity would also expose them as being incompetent and unable to properly test, etc.

 

But of course happy to let more competent Malaysians test and then get involved in publicity.

 

Typical

No...they don't!

If all was under control, honest and responsible daily repoting showing a small number of local infections would take place. The lack of reporting indicates otherwise.

Screened and cleared of the virus???? 
You mean they weren't showing a high temperature at the time of entering...

Maj-Gen Surapong said everything was in hand. His chief Lt-Gen Sompong Chingduang had ordered watches at five international airports (the two in Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Phuket and Hat Yai) as well as land and sea borders.

 

The Generals ears pricked up also????
