thasoss Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 1 hour ago, ChipButty said: I think I would feel safer at home self isolated and I dont like taking pharmaceutical drugs I also like the more natural remedies Did you know Red radish are rich in Anthocyanins with a truly impressive list of health benefits. Not only excellent lung detoxifiers might start on them today for me chipbutty woulld depend on the severity,for example if the fever was very high and i could n't get it down,or my breathing became very difficult i think i would panic and get myself to a private hospital,other than that if it was just like flu symptoms i'd rest at home,drink plenty of fluids,take some paracetamol.Doing visa runs could be a problem though....what to do? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nausea Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Die or survive, yeah, I'd probably self isolate. Eat lots of fruit. Eucalyptus oil is supposed to be good for lung infections. No way I'm going to a hospital unless I'm at death's door, you seen the prices they charge, just for a test? Money tree coming - I can just imagine how they'll milk it. Maybe, just maybe, this is one reason it's so under reported here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWRC Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 The question is a bit like saying what would you do if you got cancer, I don't think any of us can really say until it happens. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tayaout Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 (edited) I have the tools to monitor my vital signs. Food and medecine for a couple months. I would probably self isolate, fast, drink a lot of liquid and bone broth unless I see my life is threatened then I would call an ambulance. I'm actually more scared about going to the hospital than any sickness. Edited March 1, 2020 by Tayaout 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orton Rd Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Every time we have gone out over the past few days somebody tells us of a case somewhere, a driver who drove tourists, a kid in local school today a person at pra pradeang.

Popular Post Cake Monster Posted March 1, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 1, 2020 1 hour ago, Chivas said: Visitors to Pattaya really need to know my experience but also many others told the very same story I came to Pattaya for a month and started coughing from day 1....this is towards end of January and Corona wasn't "quite" so big in the news then as now but everyone was aware of it nonetheless. I didnt panic not my style at all but thought keep an eye on it obviously. Didnt stop for the entire month (except for a 5 day side trip to Manila) which should have sent warning bells off and got on to the plane and within 30 minutes flying home to UK the cough had gone....period Since then have been reading multiple reports of the same experiences all putting it all down to the filthy air pollution of Pattaya and Bangkok To the OP question "what would you do"....well I for one wasn't turning up at some Thai hospital insured or otherwise (I was) saying hey I'm concerned I've contracted Corona because quite simply you wouldn't have been leaving that hospital anytime soon ! You are more likely to contract something even worse than Covid19 at many Thai Hospitals. Basic hygiene is poor to say the least, with dirty toilets and showers, Etc trash everywhere from visitors that bring in BBQ and just leave the rubbish everywhere. MRSA is a big problem in Thailand, but they dont even know what it is. I contracted this after a short stay in a reputable Thai Hospital, and it led to me nearly losing my leg . OK you want better, then go to the local Bangkok Hospital, but expect a coronary when you get the bill. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drax Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Stay home and do same I’d do if flu. If symptomns worsen go hospital and get tested. And wear mask when out while sick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonlover Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Living the rural life, I don't think I am in any great danger. Although visitors from the cities during Songran could pose a threat. If I did display symptoms I would self isolate, live on chicken soup fortified with local herbs that my wife knows about and eat plenty of ginger, onions and garlic. No hospital for me thank you. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drax Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 (edited) Know what’s funny? I was really sick 5 days ago. Went hospital 4 days ago and then yesterday even thought better because lungs really itchy. Did xray, blood test etc. doctor said I had nothing and just need to work out. (I’ve had fever and sore throat 4x last year, plus I work out about 10-20 min daily and travel a lot, including walk and carry heavy bags, over 15 countries past 3y, so that advice didn’t make any sense). Now my girlfriend is getting sick with whatever I had after staying with me two days... me still a bit sore throat but improving daily. She asked to take day off.. they refused to let her take day off because event today... in b4 soon we got even more people sick with what I have... so stupid when could be easily avoided. I suspect coronavirus will probably be a similar story to the above. Sick people wont stay home because not allowed by their bosses... that’s how it spreads, and doctors dont test for it unless high fever / traveling from risk countries.
