11 people sharing a 'cigarette'.

 

 

Classic "Lalaland" reporting...

 

They were infected because they were together, in a confined environment.... Like in a train for instance, at rush hour. ????

 

The "cigarette" et the "glass" are made up so the public can feel good, and avoid panic.

 

Anyway, it's just a flu.

 

90 dead yesterday in car accidents.

 

(yes I've made up my mind : the Wuwuflu virus is not terrible. It's just a super flu. People will die, but nothing apocalyptic. However, the way this virus is used... is a clear psyop).

[Guderian]

And the people who became infected sharing drinks and cigarettes in Thonglor will then have gone home and shared forks and spoons with their family, who will then have gone and shared drinks and food with their friends..... world without end.

You could go to victory monument for spraying... or not. Wonder what's in the spray...

I should go and do my 90 day reporting on the 16th . But the immigration Van is not coming to Khao Lak anymore . So I will need to go to Phang Nga , which is about 300km way and back .

I tried to do it online , but it did not work ( surprise surprise ) ... So I phoned them to ask if I can do it by registered mail , but they say too late for this already ... I asked if I can authorize a person to do it for me , they said NO , I have to come myself to the immigration office .

I said , I cannot do this as I am sick , cough and fever , may be the virus ... They said , does not matter , I have to come personally to the office ... I said , I do not want to infect nobody ... they said , come in person or pay the 2000 baht fine !

I will pay , I am not going there .

 

Lovely Thailand , always the money first ...

Say it again, in my opinion, Thailand is hiding the release of figures in mis-direction mass infection numbers of other countries - mass growth in Italy release a few, mass in USA release a few, just never enough to worry about on one go since your looking at another country

[FarFlungFalang]

Just put the virus in the to hard basket and get on with it.Better luck next time.

It was interesting to see how the different countries are taking different approaches to tackling this virus.

 

In Korea they are doing mass testing to try and catch the virus at an early stage. I read the other day that a Covid-19 test in Thailand can cost up to 13,000 Baht, so some people avoid being tested. Wouldn't it be a good idea for the government to give a large budget to the health authorities and make testing free for everyone?

there is no test material anymore.It takes months to produce test kids,and most labs  making this .....are in China .(as is 98% of the medications we take) 

The whole world has to order its medicine in China , US included.

That's why there is only a very limited stock at your farmacie .

 

[FritsSikkink]

Get real and stop panicking:

 

 

[cyril sneer]

didn't realise you could catch it 2 weeks ago and only start showing symptoms now

 

also how are thailand testing for this if its up to 13,000 baht a person?

 ‘partying’ for two days.

is this the use of euphemism in journalism? 

[TheFishman1]

 I think it’s funny the report said the Thai caught it from being around a Hong Kong person how do they know the Hong Kong person even had it if he left the country secondly were the other people in the party tested or they just think they didn’t show any symptoms I find it hard to believe any of the numbers in Thailand  of the people that  caught the virus so far I think they’re not being honest about the real numbers I think THAILAND is going to be in trouble for not telling the truth about this and sooner or later there’s going to be a lot of people with this virus here in Thailand  TIT

Yet the Australian F1 this weekend is going ahead !! 100,000 fans in attendance....

 

Is the rest of the world over reacting or are F1 just trying to limit financial losses by running this race ??

Australia is a hot country and lots of sunshine. The EXPERTS have said that sunshine is the enemy of the virus it doesnt survive. What are the Junta telling people who have cold symptoms, go figure.

this virus will spread around until it disapears. no mask and no quarantine will help.

This is as bad as that idiot Canadian on a plane to Mexico saying he had the virus and they had to turn back,

[Eindhoven]

With all the nose-picking that goes on in Thailand, who can believe the reported numbers?

[thaibreaker]

"Dr Sukhum said those in the group that had not shared the glass and cigarette had not been infected."

 

Bullcrap. I get worried if the government does not know more about how this virus spreads, than this.

You obviously dont need to share anything. This virus spreads anyhow. By any form of contact.

How can they not know that?

[Ventenio]

NOTE;  The smartest doctors in the WORLD have no idea if heat or cold affects this virus.  No idea!!

 

There are some ideas about including zinc in the cell (not a supplement) might, might help...and washing your hands WILL help.  and DON"T take medicine for the first 24 hours if you get a fever.

 

We know very, very little........we have no idea about kids, just guesses.

 

don't act like you know.....nobody on here is a world-class doctor

adding that a tourist from Hong Kong had been the source of the infection.

How would they know that, did they test him ?

 

Perhaps he wasn't infected, perhaps he returned without being infected, perhaps he is infected and was infected by a Thai, will we ever know ?

[KruJA]

For those who cannot get hand washing disinfectant, you can use that delicious? white spirit the Thais drink - or 50/50 metho & water. Does the same job.

Went in March 4 - confirmed now? That's 7-8 days for a diagnosis. Call Guinness.

Ordered (Dettol) disinfection spray online on Lazada Sunday night … delivered to my house (Chiangmai) Tuesday morning.

Zero frustration .…

I’m reading a book called The Great Influenza, about the so-called Spanish flu of 1918. In Philadelphia the medical head, a Mr Kruson, gave the go ahead for a Liberty Bonds Parade, to help the war effort, despite being told by expert medics not to. The infection rate soon sky rocketed and thousands died. The same mistakes are being made 100 years later.

Songkran coming right up, nothing like getting infested water sprayed right up your nostrils.

[holy cow cm]

Yeah there has to be more cases of the virus but maybe they flag it under a different name. One thing is for sure, it is a costly hospital bill if you have to get medical attention and treatment.
