Just checked on coronavirus spread:

Airborne up to three hours, whilst a normal influenza virus can stay airborne up to one hours.

Virus can live on cardboard up to 24 hours, and on stainless steel up to 72 hours.

 

The scientific article is not yet published, but available here...
MedRXIV "Aerosol and surface stability of HCoV-19 (SARS-CoV-2) compared to SARS-CoV-1".

I would have thought it is going to spread pretty much everywhere in the country eventually.

And they pretty much guaranteed that that would happen when they let thousands of people take buses out of Bangkok to other parts of the country. Stupid, stupid, stupid. They should have canceled ALL outgoing buses. Once again, a day late and a dollar short with this incompetent government. They also let tens of thousands of people leave the country to return to Laos and Myanmar. Brilliant, just phukking brilliant. ????

They're not controlling the population, last weekend the beach here in Rayong was full of Bangkok registered vehicles and Thais were partying as usual as restaurants and resorts are open as normal because Rayong is not in lockdown. Will be the same thing next weekend if they don't clamp down as weather forecast is good.

I came across an article dated yesterday 23 March, stating there are two new cases of COVID on Samui.

 

https://thethaiger.com/coronavirus/covid-19-update-thailands-latest-cases-olympics-decision-in-four-weeks

 

Quote:  Koh Samui, in the southern province of Surat Thani, has announced 2 confirmed cases of the coronavirus. Other parts of Surat Thani province announced 5 new cases.

 

Anyone know if this is genuine? Or could it be a mix up regarding the two young guys last week under isolation?

My wife had to go to the Nathon hospital for an appointment yesterday and she made it a point to ask her doctor if there was any virus on Samui yet and he told her that there wasn't. Not saying that I believe him, but we gotta hope that they can somehow manage to keep it away; screening the ferries, any incoming people, etc.

I heard a rumour that from 1st April Samui will be locked down. No flights in or out. Just a rumour, and in these times of fake news, who knows?

I keep praying for them to do that. Learned today that ferry passengers are being checked on both ends of the trip, boarding and disembarking. Samui could get through this relatively unscathed if they'd just lock the island down.

That is filthy to be publishing theses peoples names. Are they publishing the names of all the Thai people Who are infested where they live.

Are you of the opinion that they have done something wrong, something they should be ashamed of?

This is not the time to protect individuals privacy, one of them happened to bring a deadly virus to Samui and anybody who has been in contact with them should be made aware of that and get tested.

I'm not but a lot of people will be - in the USA people are being verbally bused in te street for LOOKING Chinese!

 

The Thai military who are in charge now are fixated of facemarks and foreigners which in the ;long run will do nobody any good.

 

Given the amount of ignorance that still surrounds Covid 19, there is every need to protect privacy or art least identity.

So it’s safe to say that when you get it you are going to put a sign up outside your home to let us know your are infected so we can keep away from you.

In Thai news it's pretty common to mention full names, and sometimes even address, whilst we expats might be used to the opposite from our home countries. It's only in the later years that faces are blurred on pictures; and body of a victim from an accident, the government asked about that to be done only a few years ago.

[khunPer]

Had a visit today from authorities to my house house, wishing to check if any foreigners stayed here – must be apart from registered in House Book, as I was not considered a "foreigner" – the three officials wished to check for COVID-19.

Thai community news is saying that it's a doctor, though they haven't said from which hospital, according to my wife.
