The 52nd and 53rd victims are a husband and wife pair. The wife, 46, travelled to Italy and started to have Covid-19 symptoms after returning to Thailand and then infected her husband, 47. Both were admitted to a hospital in Nakhon Pathom.

 

Of the 53 confirmed cases in Thailand, 33 have recovered, 19 are under medical care, and one person died.

A high-end shopping mall in downtown Bangkok was forced to admit on Monday night that its “sanitizing gate” was not certified by an international health body as advertised.

Interesting. According to another topic:

 

Quote

Public Health Deputy Minister Satit Pitutecha reported that 18 of around 80 illegal Thai labourers who returned from South Korea and evaded a 14-day state quarantine have been rounded up, with 62 still missing.

Change the name of it and there's only 50 cases here. There should be 15,000+ at least by now.

Check the viral pneumonia cases here..

Yeah sounds like some delivery dude is carrying money in his mouth and spitting it at people. KFC huh? I could use a few bucks.

50 or so cases and what? 2 or 3 deaths? from what again?

 

this site is a little dated but great for looking at death rates by cause by country> https://www.worldlifeexpectancy.com/thailand-life-expectancy

 

"According to the latest WHO data published in 2017 Influenza and Pneumonia Deaths in Thailand reached 60,321 or 12.04% of total deaths."

That averages just over 5,000 dead per month from the typical flu and pneumonia.

50 or so cases and what? 2 or 3 deaths? from what again? The WuFlu Terror?

 

For those with a brain and some common sense, you will see the emperor has no cloths, not in this nor any other country. But go ahead and stock up on toilet paper, keep wearing those coffee filters on your face, and walk around in fear because the WuFlu terror is coming for you next! 

 

It's got to be the same people who pushed and believed that stopping all plastic shopping bags was going to save the country, the whales, the children, the whole planet. I have no other explaination.

Yeah right. China and Italy are closing down their countries for a simple flu. Lombardy is now letting people 65+ or with precondition dying because they don't have any bed left.

I wonder how the bats and pigs are doing in Thailand?

When I saw the photo yesterday, I thought it was some new game-event, or other kind of amusement, would never have guessed it was a virus-protection – wouldn't people need to wear protection to pass UV-light strong enough to kill virus...????

UV from the sun do kill virus. Most Thai women avoid the sun like the plague... ????

[mtls2005]

Per today's MoPH briefing cases +6 to 59 total.

Thanks, but I would presume longer time than just walking through a fancy light tube in 30 seconds or so.

 

Some sources mention 30 minutes exposure, whilst if the lamp is strong, like when cleaning water tanks, or passer passing through a tank, it will instantly shut off if a tank is opened, so humans are not exposed.

 

The UV light used to sterilize hospitals – and mentioned ordered by Chinese authorities after the COVID-19 outbreak – is a robot, as humans cannot be in the rooms when it's UV-sterilized...

Quote

The company developed the robot in a partnership with several Danish hospitals. “This way the development process was highly user-centered and resulted in a product that customers and end-users actually want to use,” Cikotic said.
 
Though germicidal qualities of UVC light have been known for over a century, these rays are also dangerous to humans—prolonged exposure can cause skin cancer and cataracts—, so they are for the most part limited in use to stationary controlled settings.

Latest safety technologies, human error safeguards, and autonomous mobility allows the UVD Robot to safely disinfect any surface in any enclosed hospital area, as a routine matter. The machine drives itself to a user-defined area, where it autonomously navigates while zapping bacteria and harmful microorganisms with concentrated UV light from many different angles. If a human tries to enter the disinfected area while the UVD Robot is working there, it will automatically turn off the light.

@khunPerI agree that the light they use is most likely useless or it could blind people.

Fleed? Founded?

 

And this from a leading English language newspaper constantly running stories about low English standards in LOS!

There are MANY types of UV sterilizing lights, big n small.
