Will Prayut be brave enough to ban such movement? Announced this morning - in addition to the celebrations being stopped, the public holiday will be shortened and moved to a different date, people are urged not to travel back to their hometowns and stay put. Lets see what happens. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did I miss the memo about Thailand having a strong public health system? Because that must be in the alternate reality Thailand from the one that I know! It did under another regime led by the now self exiled former PM who led it through the SARS virus...it was strong then, not sure where the wheels came off of the bus.....oh yeah a coup with unelected leaders acting is if they know everything and its 100% under control, as they line there pockets, they know jackshiitte..... 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(it was just renamed to quell Chinese anger at being found out) - the virus may well have multiple-morphed across species and back, into another brickwall? cut cut cut start again... Never let the Chinese get off the hook, in the face saving... I'll keep on thinking of it as 'ChinaVirus'/'WuhanVirus' 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toper3jr Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Strict movement policies, transparency AND FREE TESTING, IF DONE WEEKS AGO could have controlled this. NOW YOU GOT TO FIX PROBLEMS!

leosurin Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 3 hours ago, Number 6 said: I'm still absolutely unable to find facemasks or alcohol other than the initial amount I was able to scrounge up. Just asked yesterday at another ten pharmacy. Conspiracy to sell (millions?) of TONS of facemasks (did I read that correctly???) to Communist China might be an issue. So too the death of Chinese in Huay Kwang related. Another huge amount reportedly bad masks, soiled sold to Chinese for 2m baht. Western countries should really note this nation's alliegences and treat accordingly. Tariff on western food items is ridiculous. Virtually no western products in stores Just have this horrible feeling it's gonna get ugly for us farang by govt edict. None of what comes out of it ever makes a bit of sense. My fly from Germany to Italy been canceled,I did call my embassy to ask for a document to bring to immigration for a extension to my O Visa.They strongly suggested to leave thailand as soon as possible, you are better off in europe without a fly then here ,the worry wasn't about the virus but about Thai government.

You think you are funny, but you are not. There is free testing. Present with symptoms and be in a risk demographic and they will test. Do you not understand that there is a shortage of testing supplies, lab facilities and personnel? The priority is being given to probable infections. At this point, free testing will encourage unnecessary testing. The priority now must be to prioritize attention and to trace active cases. Under current asset limitations, active infections will be given priority. Why do they need a test. A bad cough, snotty nose, feeling sh'tty, fever............Baby you got it. Get out of circulation and take para. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laughing Gravy Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 I can feel a lets pat ourselves on the back for a great job we have done. Lets not go back to early January when we could have prevented many of these cases by doing the very things we are doing now. What was it, we welcome all Chinese tourists. Just bring your money. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get out of circulation and take para. already shown majority of sniffle etc cases turn out to be either a simple cold, or even just typical latest flu... Hopefully anyone in a bed being treated, are getting help for cold/flu/Pneumonia symptoms; as it might just be that? - plus... doing those default treatments to clear the 'standard' stuff, may help out the oueventual attempts at diagnosis - to be more concise!

kingstonkid Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 GF works in Government hospital says that there is a lack of knowledge by the upper management and no guidelines from the medical experts. A person comes in with a head ache and a cough it is automatically assumed they have the Virus. The thing is IMHO that this is a Flu. Does it kill people Yes Does the Flu kill people YES We here about a lot of people having the virus but the only people that seem to be dying are those with preexisting conditions. Should schools be closed yes but then again they already are. Should we stop people from gathering in groups maybe but then in that case we need to CLOSE MBK CENTRAL and all the malls. Is there a shortage of masks I am not sure everyone under the sun is selling them so I am not sure where that comes from. I lived through SARS and yes it was scarey but if people use their brains and take precautions it is not that bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterBaker Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Do not need to state obvious. World will survive no matter what, it's just a question how many will die. Please stop making proclamations and start doing things 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yellowboat Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 4 hours ago, webfact said: He urged people to take care of their health, to eat only well-cooked and clean food, to avoid sharing spoons and glasses, to wear face masks in high-risk areas, to wash their hands often with soap and water, especially if they have touched hand rails and door knobs, and the avoidance of crowds. The only words that have passed his lips that were not insulting to one's intelligence. Of course, there are no face masks, which shows his foppishness. Washing your hands can save you.

HaoleBoy Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Songkran is shut down (postponed or cancelled), but when the bars and massage shops close then all the girls will be going back to their village anyways. This will lead to mass spreading from infected BKK, Pattaya, Phuket areas to the whole country. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Nagle Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 How about telling Thais to be more hygenic when they cough or sneeze. The first observation i recorded regarding cultural differences here is when they cough or sneeze. Absolutly never use a tissue or hankichief, never cover their face and the volume level turned up to 11 when sneezing or coughing. JUST NO IDEA 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
