How do you know the Thai government is giving out accurate information on the number of coronavirus cases?

Especially as the number of viral pneumonia cases has shot up in Thailand at a staggering rate since the 26 th of January.The numbers have  increased  by x 25 in just a month.

Maybe this is why the Thai government is preparing for stage 3. Because maybe it is already at stage 3 but they still will not refuse their Chinese soo to be owners.

I think it's got more to do with money. Thai tourism's contribution to GDP seems to have grown exponentially in just a few years - I remember reading that just 5-6 years ago, tourism supposedly contributed just 6% to GDP (seems a bit low even for back then), then it became 10%, then 12-15 now it's 20%. Maybe with all the factory closures going on the Thai government hasn't been honest and are hiding the truth about tourism actually being responsible for 50+% of GDP. At least that's the impression one gets both here in Thailand and abroad, when not a day goes by that tourism and the TAT isn't mentioned.

A significant percentage of whom are tools of the Chinese Communist Party and try to push their anti-western propagandist agendas all over the world, silencing debate about certain topics in Western universities.

 

Wake up, man, before it's too late.

There are certainly a lot of tools in the area, well spotted.

Italy has only had cases for 3-4 days, and at least they are admitting they have messed up
"Serious mistake was made not to quarantine people who arrived in Italy from China" said Walter Ricciardi of the WHO, adding that "within two weeks we will know if we are facing an epidemic" and advising that, for the next two weeks, people "should avoid crowded places: metro, buses, trains, schools, discos, and gyms."

Thailand has done none of the above (banned Chinese visitors, inform people to stay away from public places such as schools gyms etc) and somehow has managed to remain at around 30 cases for over a week.. Interesting 

Italians do tend be tactile. ????
