Give  him a break on that ! Legal mandate or not in practical terms how  could it be done? Where and in  what facilities does Thailand have to quarantine any large number of people? What country  does?

 

 

The U.S. put all of its evacuees from Wuhan into two week quarantines at a couple of military bases stateside.

 

I think it's safe to say, Thailand probably has more than enough military housing available to use for the purpose if they wanted to use it. And they did the same thing with their Wuhan evacuees at a military facility in Chonburi, if memory serves.

 

Or just boot out all the retired generals still living in military houses and use those in addition. The former sex workers from South Korea probably would enjoy living in generals' houses for a few weeks.

 

Plus, AFAIK, they're not likely to be bringing back all 5000 at once. It sounds like it's going to be a gradual daily influx as allowed by available air transport limitations. At the rate mentioned in the other article, it could take them up to two months to bring back the entire group.

 

In other words, they very likely wouldn't need to arrange housing for the 5000 number all at one time, since different individuals would be entering and exiting quarantine over time. Thus the actual amount of housing needed would be considerably less than the total returnee group.

5000 registered out of a potential 100,000 desiring return. Monitoring even 1000 in dispersed residences would be no more practical than confinement to own  house IMO.

Well make a law, you can make any law you want e.g   When one returns from another country on the at risk chart and you have been in close or very close or very very very close contact with an at risk person,  you shall enter quarantine for a period not exceeding 14 days, there, easy as that sir.

The Army has A LOT of concentrated housing units, including barracks, hotels, etc etc that they own/control. They could handle 1000 at a time for sure without any problem... except perhaps for maintaining order/discipline in the nearby uniformed ranks.... :burp:

Hmmm. Korean clap? A potential vaccine !

Just send them on an island, the hotels there are now empty anyway.

Is there a law stating that any student that returns from one of several countries must self-quarantine for 14 days?

 

Don't think so, but there is a Government mandate requesting this.

 

At times like this good, sensible governance is required and far too many countries in the world don't have the right people for this. Thailand is pretty close to the top of that list.

Please use discretion in your references to the government. Phrases which can be considered as anti-coup will be removed. Referring to Thailand or the government as a dictatorship, military dictatorship or other such terms will be removed:

It is the  distraction of the portrayed reactive incompetence as much as the reaction to it that  causes  me most concern in all seriousness.

There is a pervading  sense of derision and gloating over what is the inevitable failure in both the complacent expectations of salvation from bureaucrats and the paralysing adoption of paranoid participation in that!

Is this  virus the problem it is  being  made into?

IMO yes....but  not  by virtue of being an infectious disease!

It is  by virtue of what is being enacted politically and economically !

The "masses" have already been duped into losing  perspective of  community disease incidence resulting in mortality.

My only surprise is that  religious organizations have not whole heartedly stormed the streets and social media with  claims "Doom is nigh! Salvation can only be ensured via  Paypal, Visa, Master C, etc" ! maybe they have  but I do not  subscribe  to such vehicles  of  bs  other than TVF.

But! and it is  a very  important  but.........it has provided  very advantageous opportunity to excuse a dramatic change in  global connectivity. An excuse  to implement totalitarian control in various ways and degrees. Travel restrictions, shipping disruptions, increased mandatory priority level entry assessments, socio/economic risk group assessments etc in whatever form  can be  justified under the  umbrella of " public health protection". Prioritization of medical intervention in favour of the same assumed elite that dictate the  above. 

Pessimistic? Wait with me and see ! There is always  flaw in the plan. ????

No Thai law to mandate quarantine of Thais returning from South Korea – DPM Prawit

 

Maybe Prawit did not read or understand the meaning of the CV emergency declaration that went into effect this past Sunday, described as follows:

 

Quote

The announcement empowers officials to order people suspected of being infected with Covid-19 to undergo treatment and put them in quarantine, and to close venues affected by the coronavirus, among other measures.

Deputy Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwan said today that Thailand has no law that can force Thais, working illegally in South Korea, into quarantine upon their return. There has been widespread concern expressed on social media about the returnees representing a risk of a widespread outbreak of COVID-19 in Thailand.

Since when have the representatives of the government never been elected, respect for the laws?
