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. You are right. Make priorities! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with self isolating at home is the potential to infect family members who then go about their normal daily lives possibly infecting others!

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 Mrs insists that tissues and the like, are only for use on a nose dribble; when you have eaten one too hot chilli too much - - because what then come out is 'clean' ????️????️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trainman34014 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 4 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. We know they are all Crooks at every level of Officialdom from the very top to the very bottom and they will unashamedly take advantage of their own people in any situation that arises. As for Western Products in Thai Supermarkets; i have noticed over the last six months that there has been a steady reduction of 'International Foods' and in Tesco and Big C in particular they have both removed their special sections for these products in most stores to make way for more Chinese muck. The one glimmer of hope i noticed last week is pots of Morrisons Peanut Butter in Big C, 30 Baht cheaper than the usual makes but i'm still looking for the other 156 products that were supposedly in the Morrisons deal ! Without doubt in my mind Makro is now the best 'Supermarket' that we have with the widest range of products and they constantly add new lines. They are also the best stock controllers and keep up a mainly decent sized stock of most things, whereas the 'others' often have empty shelves as they seem to wait until something completely runs out before re-ordering...crazy.

Popular Post hobz Posted March 17, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 17, 2020 Thailand is not testing normal Thai people with flu symptoms unless they are in a risk group. Friends on my Facebook are reporting staying home with fever. One friend of a friend with symptoms said he wanted to get tested but hospital said they couldn't afford it. Gf showed numbers from her hospital.. 122 people with respitory symptoms in the hospital, all untested because they don't belong to risk group. This is just in one hospital. You do the math... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need these ships to bring in just about everything. Everything, notably Medicines, which mostly come from? you guessed it - China! OZ news only started to pick this up during the past week; of Chinese crewed Container/Freighters coming in to Northern OZ - and the crews freely off loading and mingling freely unchecked in shops/malls etc Edited March 17, 2020 by tifino Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they don't do this now they will need to do it later anyway but it will be much worse. Right now it's a choice, later it will be a forced move due to failure. The choice is theirs. They seem to have the same mindset as the UK medical advisers , slow to act for some reason , now what might that be ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isaanbiker Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 He said people should believe the government could provide them with enough face masks and consumer goods and there was no need to panic. Is that the same guy who told his folks to make too salty water hot and the salt would go away like the virus? The truth is that you'll have more salt in it.

There is a SARS CoV-2 virus which results in a deadly illness called Covid 19. Absolutely not. The virus is the "Wuhan flu" virus. No way a bunch of commies (WHO, China and all the chinese agents on the pay roll) and other PC fanatics will decide the words we can or can not use. Many virus names are linked... to the geographic aera where they were discovered. That's the tradition. Spanish flu; Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever; Lyme, for the town in Connecticut; Ebola, for a nearby river. West Niles virus. Period. The virus started in Wuhan, China. Not in "SARS Cov COVID 19 32 blablabla" BS. So it's the Wuhan flu virus or Wuhan virus, or to make it short wuflu etc. Or even the "chinese flu". You hate it ? The CPC hates it ? Good !

ParkerN Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Their country, their decisions. That's how they see it anyway. It used to be different but then things started getting hard. Thais don't deal with hardship well, they look around for a convenient scapegoat. It used to be foreigners and it's foreigners again. Sad but true. But the wheel will turn and once again, foreigners will be regarded as honoured guests who bring a lot of useful things to the table. Of course the soldiers (and their sponsors) will have to be kicked out first - they have to be the top table and they regard any diminution of their importance as being not in the national interest. Since propaganda is less effective now than it used to be, the vanguard of 'taking back the country' will fall to the likes of Anutin and Thammanat. Briefly at least, until the wider population wakes up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CM Dad Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Continually trying to "mask" this issue when it has been said again and again by international health authorities that masks are NOT the way to prevent this virus should not be the message of people like the PM and Minister of Health. People need to avoid large public events like boxing matches and entertainment venues where the majority of the recently infected contracted the virus, stay home. If venturing out, only do so when necessary, and frequent hand-washing will do much more to slow the spread of the virus. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sapson Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 It would be good to have some confidence in their control of the situation, but to go on Thai Tv clearly state that they have provided face masks etc .....when for three weeks every pharmacy in my area has none available and this is a pattern nationwide. So everyone watching Thai or Farang can see that he isnt aware of the real situation.... unlikely, or prefers to just lie to millions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
