Putrified I read putrified,I've seen some rather putrid conditions in Thailand and it's often concerned me.In 1987 it was the klongs wafting their putrid odours and I thought god forbid if anyone actually fell in that would really cause a putrified panic in myself,I still shudder at the thought.Thankfully they have cleaned up their act somewhat.

SkyFax Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 There can be persons, I'll presume, within the PUI that are asymptomatic -- but the suggestion was that there were thousands MORE beyond the 5700+ PUI that are asymptomatic and that is where I asked for the link.

Popular Post zhounan Posted March 14, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 14, 2020 The worrying fact is that they are publicly accusing Westerners of transmitting the virus to Thailand. This shameful and criminal communication is likely to lead to intolerance among the population. The behavior of the Thai authorities is to be investigated at the International Criminal Court: they have waited, kept silent, and now they accuse Westerners of infecting Thai people, when in fact it would be the contrary being Thailand high of the Chinese mass tourism destinations, and I remember that between January and February 13.000 tourists from Wuhan were here. 4 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRAVEL RESTRICTIONS THAILAND FROM KOREAN AIR: Thailand • Anyone who has departed from South Korea, China, Hong Kong, Macau, Italy or Iran must prepare the followings. (as of Mar 10, this is not applied to passengers transiting through those countries) 1) Vaild document for COVID-19 lab test result (negative) 2) Medical certificate issued within 48 hours to prove that they are negative for COVID-19 : must use the following designated forms in English Download 1(General Passengers) Open in new window / Download 2(Nationals of Thailand who overstayed in Korea and returning back to Thailand) Open in new window 3) Foreign nationals (except for nationals of Thailand) must present a health insurance document that covers at least amount of 100,000 US dollars. • All passengers entering Thailand should be quarantined for 14 days upon arrival. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is why we are not seeing Thailand becoming a new Italy or any tropical countries suffering a major epidemic. There will be cases but not in huge numbers.

Nothing of the point of contact that's is why there is so much BS in Thai fake news on this topic. The only fact we do know they are NOT in control of the situation.

For the bloke talking about how climate may effect CV spread.. here is some other earth shattering advice I found. If you think you've contracted Corona Virus, go down to the local Gogo, order a Corona beer and two shots of whiskey. The alcohol in the beer and whiskey will wipe it out. It's a wonder the Doctors haven't come up with this cure. The same with the flu and cold. Just drink some whiskey and it will wash your system of all illness! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DrTuner Posted March 14, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 14, 2020 The numbers will climb faster the more they finally test at the NIH lab. There's a flood of 1741 (13th March) PUI waiting their results, some of which are likely positive and who know how many more that have been tested at private hospitals and not included in the PUIs at all. Safe to assume thousands are infected. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does these mean for those that transit through S. Korea, this is a must if coming from say the United States. I am confused. In order to get the certificate of medical clearance it saysValid document for COVID-19 lab test. Now how in the hell is one supposed to get that if you can not get tested.

Popular Post smedly Posted March 14, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 14, 2020 The problem that worries me is the fact that people showing no symptoms can be spreading it This is why it is important for authorities to be giving accurate information about numbers and locations Right now it is assumed that Pattaya is virus free - right ? 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
