Popular Post Brer Posted February 24, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 24, 2020 Yes Thailand is to be admired, the government has managed to suppress the virus, lower pollution, manage its currency, increase tourism, reduce road deaths, has no prostitution anymore. It truthfully leads the world. Next project climate change. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
expat1010 Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Covid-19 will likely be officially declared a pandemic by WHO in the next few weeks. Tourism and travel globally will grind to a halt, hospitals will be overwhelmed and those most susceptible (old and infirm) will die in the millions. Thailand will not escape this pandemic. Asia, the Middle East, Africa and SouthAmerica will bare the brunt of this pandemic, but advanced economies will not escape unscathed either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason to use one is the patient's lungs are in a condition where forced ventilation might cause damage. In other words, completely shot.

ThaiBrian Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Its the Thai pollution that's coating our lungs to inhibit the growth of this virus.

FarFlungFalang Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 (edited) This one is even more disconcerting and sounds somewhat familiar.Watch how many times the guy on the left in the breaking story wipes his forehead at about 8mins in he also has a little cough at the start,he doesn't look well.

christophe75 Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 (edited) To help to put into perspective the "number" from Thailand. Here is the daily "score" for other asian countries. (not South Korea, because it's increasing too fast ???? ) - 5 new cases in Hong Kong - 2 new cases in Taiwan - 1 new case in Singapore So a very quiet day indeed. Same with Hong Kong... One the most "dense" places on earth with large movement between mainland China.... But the virus seems very lazy (total 79 cases). Last but not least... Regarding the transmission by urine/feces... We have a few data coming from... India. Huge country. Third world healthcare system... and well people going "toilets" everywhere... Why Iran would have dozen cases (and dead) and not India ? Or is it because Trump have an official trip in India (starting today). And the indian authorities do not want to "cloud" his trip with bad news ? And why the fire in Italy (small european country) ? Or is it because... Italy said yes to China... for the silk road project ? https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-47679760 And USA ? 327 millions... Hundred of flights with China... And nothing. The CDC is even unable to... have proper tests (they are defective). When South Korea is testing THOUSANDS of people... the soviet bureaucrats of the CDC... managed to test less than 500 people... Nothing makes sense. Edited February 24, 2020 by christophe75 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Forza2002 Posted February 24, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 24, 2020 (edited) Singapore has a similar climate to Thailand and it has nearly 100 confirmed cases of the virus. Also it closed its borders to Chinese travelers more than 3 weeks ago. Thailand only reporting 35 cases, very dubious to say the least.
