or to a Wat? 

rode in a bus or minivan?

works in a restaurant?

And his family, friends and where ever he has been since he developed the symptoms ?

Didn't they ask him any questions when he passed through immigration ?

I find this interesting. The whole airplane is suspect, the crew, everyone who interacted with the crew, other passengers, flew on the plane before it (if ever) it was disinfected, etc... Heck, hope the guy didn't use public transportation system to get home from the airport. 

BTW, it is just another flu during flu season.

Why wasn’t he monitored after visiting a high risk country?

 

his passport locations should automatically put him into a monitoring high risk group...

 

why do Thais believe other Thais?

 

example - my wife blames the hill tribe people for the last 2 months of smoke in CM? Why? Because she told me that gov told the farmers not to burn after their last crop harvest in December...

 

This Thai thinking that Thais comply with regulations when the evidence (i.e. air pollution, excessive speeding causing death ) states otherwise just baffles me...

should that man not go to jail as super spreader

And so the lies continue and the spread spreads  stay in doors and be safe he will be one of many till he feels unwell then HELP ME PLEASE no I did not go any where Amazing Thailand

If a Westerner and indeed many other country's citizens are accused of lying they will be greatly offended. In Thailand you will mostly get a smile accompanied by a denial. It's just not considered a big insult. Lying is just part of the game here.

5 moral precepts of Buddhism, think lying is in there !

 

1. to refrain from taking life, ie killing any living creature
2. to refrain from taking what is not freely given, ie theft
3. to refrain from misuse of the senses or sexual misconduct, ie overindulgence in sex or committing sexual offences
4. to refrain from wrong speech, ie lying or gossiping
5. to refrain from intoxicants that cloud the mind, ie drugs or alcohol

That is a very confusing post you made.

Where in my post is there any sign of support for this Administration?

Answer... nowhere.

My post was about a very ignorant/ selfish person, putting so many others at risk.

Granted my post may seem to be very confusing or even somewhat obtuse.The only sign of taking the side of the Administration in this case I see is the lack of placing the responsibility of dealing with cases of suspected COVID 19 with the health care system which as Anutin himself espoused anybody could be a carrier of the SARS COV 2 virus.If the Thai health system is relying solely on the honesty of the Thai people instead of treating everybody as a suspected carrier of this virus then they have only themselves to blame and not someone frightened panicked individual.By placing the blame for endangering the lives of others for being ignorant and selfish seems to me to be using him as a scapegoat for the current outbreak by the Administration who have released his confidential medical status to the general public which is in many countries is protected by law.It seems to me that the Health Minister himself is responsible for protecting the health and wellbeing of it's citizens which the Minister as so often said that he is doing.It seems to me that he is doing a very poor job and should resign.So I will apologise if you feel I've made you out to be a Steven100 which was not my intention,my intention was to voice my surprise that you did not also point the finger at the Administration which is your usual modus operandi.If you are not 10 times more confused after reading this post then I have performed poorly.

This patient needs a one year sentence in the worst Thai prison, after he or she is over their quarantine period.

Geezer

What an absolute prik!  There should be a charge pending for reckless endangerment.  Look how many people have been put at risk. The first person to succumb to the virus should signal police action.

He’s not the first or last unfortunately

No but we will single him out for special treatment to appease our morbid appetites.

But Thai have it all under control!!!!

 

Really?!

 

What about all those out or the way land boarder crossings, villages and so on. 

 

Thai should think again before making their usual hot air, cannot loose face, we are better than all other races, false statements...

Well, at least they told us where this happened. That doesn't always happen, here. Must be serious, indeed.

I've probably misunderstood this, but could the staff contract it within 24 hours of exposure? I thought there was a 14 day quarantine period, as the virus can't be detected 'immediately'.

During the sars epidemic I knew a man who had been standing next to a counter girl in a shop in Hong Kong, he is thinking that she looks like she will keel over looking so sick. He got back to the states and came down with sars, he surived and I got the story from him after he got out of the hospital. So if that is any indicator it may not take much to make you sick

Japan is one of the worse affected countries.

I have read there are over 800 cases.

Don't forget the Diamond Princes is anchored there and, with inadequate quarantine measures on board, is producing more infected passengers daily.  

Wrong, 207 as of today. Try checking your facts..... Diamond Princess is not counted as Japan but as an 'international conveyance'.

A ship with 700 cases in port at Yokohama.

You and your sources can be as pedantic as you like, the ship is in Japan, the infected are being transported to hospitals there, the cases are in the country. 

You could get a job with the stats department in the Thai health ministry. Perhaps they're not counting cases in country, but infected elsewhere, also.

Not if you could lose your face and become a faceless individual.
