USA 11 dead, only 160 sick. Hmmmm

 

Maybe will ban USA soon? 

Because most of the dead were in a nursing home for old people.

At first there was only one risky country! Thailand is 23rd on the list of infected countries, with just 47 reported cases and 1 death. This is in spite Thailand's proximity to China and its many Chinese visitors.

 

I think you should say, rather, that Thailand's plans for the future should be more certain now ... as is the case with all countries. The leader of the free world thinks this is all fake news: at least Thai politicians recognise it is a problem and have been working on it.

I hope you are right and that local health education and awareess is superior restricitng transmission. Of course that relates to how credible sources are, of course as there are no examples of ignorance, maladministration or calumny in LOS we can all sleep easy.

 

I wonder what all the newly unemployed thai "ladies' retrning from Korea wll turn their hand to ? Influencers, cloud seeders, somtam vendors?

Official English translation of the document by the Ministry of Public Health that was published in the Royal Gazette last night naming six countries and territories that are considered high risk.

Check out the bottom, he signed that on the 2nd March, that's 4 days ago. These guys chnage their minds by the minute.

Regarding foreigners, Rungreung said, they will have to inform the immigration police where they’ll be staying in Thailand upon their arrival. The immigration will then instruct the hotels to keep the foreigners inside their premises for 14 days; any violation must be immediately reported to the immigration.

Coronavirus update: Another Delhi man tests positive after Thailand, Malaysia trip

https://www.livemint.com/news/india/coronavirus-update-another-delhi-man-tests-positive-after-thailand-trip-11583476563268.html

 

 

"An elderly man is one of two more people to be diagnosed with coronavirus in Queensland.

The 81-year-old man and a 29-year-old woman have been confirmed as the state’s 12th and 13th cases.

The man has recently returned to Brisbane from Thailand and the woman came from London with a stopover in Singapore."

Delihi man most likely got it in Thailand, and Aussie man surely got it in Thailand.  

I always wonder about the details. Which city they stayed, where they stayed, how long they were there, etc.

Not a problem to stay at home for 14 days, but what about the food? Even if we order it online, we need to go meet delivery guy.

No you don't: he delivers and leaves the bill and walks 20 metres away, you open door, take everything in, leave the money (disinfected) and everyone's happy

it means you have to do it or you face legal consequences. 

and in some cases you are detained in a facility.

Quarantined at home but then have to go to report to authorities every day (or they come to check...) So smart. It's Thailand. And tourists stay in hotel? Good for the hotels with guaranteed occupation but who will make up the rooms? And after they go... who comes to disinfect?

You know what I would do if I found out there were diseased people staying in the same hotel as me?

 

I would check out immediately and go somewhere else.

So let me get this straight - the quarantines will be enforced by the hotel staff, we're talking maids, sleeping security guards, bellboys, etc, here right?

[riclag]

I hope they don't use the Makro testing devices ,they'll need to set up tents in the big stadiums to quarantine any suspected tourists

I know but I doubt it’s ever optional. Anytime you’re getting quarantined unless it’s voluntary at home it’s a detention.

Listening to the News Conference just now.  The ministers said you can find masks everywhere and they should cost 2 baht.  Funny, I was at the Chaeng Wattahna Immigration government complex yesterday, and tried to get masks from the government pharmacy.  They "Not Have".  I have looked for the last week and the only ones i see are from people sitting outside markets, which I would not trust as of the recent cleansing and resell scam....unbelievable.  However, a pharmacist who lives below me  few floors said that masks do not work, and to make my own hand sanitizer so I am not gouged by the touts.

I'm flying from CNX via BKK and SIN to ZRH in April, and back same route 8 days later. SIA hasn't answered my question yet whether I will be subject to quarantine or not, or will face another problem. I feel healthy, and have no problem to be quarantined in our house in Chiang Mai if need be, but everything else would let me consider to cancel this trip. I have not found a clear answer about such travel plans anywhere so far.

yes, Isopropyl alchol and Aloe Vera Gel, with a little bit of scented oil.  Of course, peolple are snapping up this as well.

I am headed back to the US shortly. Wonder if in a month's time, if that will be on the compulsory list too? 13 deaths in a very short period. And the administration there seemed to be totally unprepared for this. They could have been preparing test kits a month ago, when congress asked for emergency funding, and were turned down by men with extreme myopia. Now they are up to 226 cases, five in the past 24 hours. And 13 deaths. This could take down Trump. I sure hope so. Those deaths fall squarely on his shoulders, for withdrawing the funding of the epidemiology budget of the CDC, to pay for 16 Tomahawk missiles. Beyond inane. Beyond ignorant.
