Redline Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 What about an entity taking control of the government illegally? Oh, no problem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stargeezr Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 What if a good percentage of these illegal workers were homeless Thais, where would they be housed for their 14 days quarantine? Military gyms perhaps, on military bases. Just curious. Geezer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When do Thais ever take notice of laws? Asking them to self quarantine is like asking a Soi dog not to lift its back leg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asking them to self quarantine is like asking a Soi dog not to lift its back leg Two different issues... 1. is people here claiming the government doesn't have the legal authority to enforce mandatory quarantines, which I believe is clearly a mistaken view. 2. is will the returning Thais observe the supposed 14 day self-quarantine that the government says they're going to enforce (though whether they actually will is a whole different matter). On that point, I share your view. Edited March 4, 2020 by TallGuyJohninBKK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zydeco Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Thailand has become the dumping ground for any coronavirus cases that can make their way here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where and in what facilities does Thailand have to quarantine any large number of people? What country does? Were any such country including Thailand to attempt such including all facilities on top of best medical provision it would be political suicide. Or would it be acceptable to inflict detention camp style incarceration on citizens to satisfy public paranoia? Mexican Border style, Syrian refugee style, etc? Get used to the fact that the acid test is already underway. Not as any measure of any attempts in interventionist controls. A measure of the tenacity of both this virus and people. China has experienced its pandemic. Thailand has to date only had localized epidemics which have been measurable. As an ongoing effect of the impact on business and employment there are already increasing numbers of people departing the generalized centres of those epidemic. Potential carriers of infection who despite never needing or requiring medical attention are dispersing out into wider areas or other provinces. Now is why I suggest the "acid test". If there is to be a significant pandemic it will start to appear soon. Or, as many are hoping, it will diminish with the weather. I wonder if UK Bookies are giving any odds?

They could stage the return to ensure manageable numbers. SK have given them until June to leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
humbug Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 these gangsters were only in this power grab for greed and China’s greed and control freak attitude, human rights and helping people wasn’t in their minds or never will be, now they have a pandemic which needs good honest leadership, a pandemic brought to the world by CCP China who lied and covered up the true state from early December letting the virus infect in China and now the whole world, already US and other countries are creating temporary buildings to be used for an outbreak and quarantine, it’s not hard to do if you cared for your population, but nah not with these gangsters, just make sure the US dollar bills are cleaned to hoard around the world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
