Meanwhile:  At MAKRO, people with no gloves pawing through the raw chicken and pork.  Seriously!

 

And the dude putting raw beef in shrink wrap (employee) ??? ... no gloves.

Actually I saw one of the most disgusting actions I have ever seen in Big C on Saturday.

 

A Chinese (yes he was Chinese) man sticking his fingers into the raw chicken breast ( maybe testing if they were tender), from there he moved to the raw pork and picked up several pieces one after another with his bare hands, back to the chicken breasts, then his mobile rang. Hands in pocket and took out mobile phone without wiping his hands. Put phone away continued with the pork. Then moved to the vegetables and started picking them up. Not once did he wipe his hands.

 

I tried to talk to the staff about it, but all they did was shrug their shoulders.

 

someone pointed out makro ...and I go there often ... daily walk / groceries 

 

people taking porc / chicken with bare hands

 

funny as there are signs :  USE GLOVES

 

off course:  NO GLOVES

 

but most people double bag it, a bag as a glove as the food pincher (picking tool) is put back with handle into the meat ...

 

indeed, next to go put their dirty hands on the shopping cart, check veggies, etc ...

They were scanning when I went to our Makro today, BUT, as I got there they just waved me passed ! which was actually daft as I do have a sort of cold right now and may well have had a temperature. Guess farangs are not considered a risk in his eyes...5555

They scanned me, but just shone a blue light, didn't touch.

Unless they checked your armpit 37.2 is not considered a fever. To turn you away for that is ludicrous.

Dont forget , the people doing the checking are uneducated security guards. They are probably told 37 degrees is ok. Anything over: a big No.  They are not really allowed to think.

The old saying 'Starve a Fever, Feed a Cold' may really be true !

I thought it was starve a cold, feed a fever. No?

One of you has a degree in medicine, in a discipline whose core is sterile and sanitary operations without fail  The other .. a spoiled child whose life view is "Me Me Me" I want what I want now, and being "perfect" can simply NOT be infected.  Dude, I wouldn't touch you with a 10 foot pole, and if I did, I would burn it then wash my hands.

What I really don't undersrtand is: who on earth goes out doing errands etc with a fever?  When I have a fever I feel terrible and stay home. In a pinch I would at least take paracetemol first and so not have a fever while out.

single parent with small child ?

 

fever fever, what is a fever ?  anything above 37.5 C ?

 

paracetamol stops your liver from working correctly ... thought you knew that

 

one of the most dangerous OTC and cause for many renal failures in the USA

 

Paracetamol overdose renal failure

In some cases, acute kidney failure may be the primary clinical manifestation of toxicity. In these cases, it has been suggested that the toxic metabolite is produced more in the kidneys than in the liver. ... The severity of paracetamol toxicity varies depending on the dose and whether appropriate treatment is received.

 

That quote is referring to overdose.

 

Chronic use (e.g. every day over a long period )  can also cause problems especially if the daily dosage is high.

 

Very occasional use at normal dosage has an excellent safety profile in people without underlying liver or kidney disease.

 

Don't scare monger.

Post referring to "overdose" has been removed.

I don't think anybody has stopped it have they?It's a bit like trying to stop evolution.What doesn't kill us makes us stronger.

Aside from the meat section I don't see any real reason to go to Makro especially in Pattaya, there prices aren't cheaper I find Tesco has the best prices and deals regularly 2 for 1 items.

I not think is a bad idea temperature check on supermarket, for the first time the government make right

What does a temperature scan prove? That you don't have a fever.. And that is all. It in no way shows you don't have coronavirus. 

 

I would think that having wipes for trolley handles makes more sense. in South Africa this is done in many Supermarkets, even before Coronavirus (which hasn't reached SA yet anyway).

I wouldnt go into anywhere where they wanted to scan me.

Good luck renewing your next vis extension then, immigration at chaeng wattana and many other places scan all comers as well.

 

What I cannot quite wrap my head around is that folks complain indignantly that thais are doing nothing to limit or prevent covid-19 transmission, however they react negatively when confronted with any safeguard that may affect them.

 

Besides, if you are such a sweaty out of shape wreck that a walk across a parking lot raises your temperature to levels that high you may be flagged as a risk, you have much more than covid-19 to worry about.
