Pattaya fighting the virus: Thousands of tourists checked on way to Koh Larn - not one had a high temperature

 

Picture: Facebook Pattaya Law Enforcement

 

The Facebook page of Pattaya Law Enforcement said that Pattaya officials and nurses from Koh Larn were busy checking tourists departing for the island yesterday. 

 

They said that 2,386 tourists were checked at Bali Hai port - and not one had a temperature at or over 37.5C.

 

The report contained the hashtag in Thai: #prung nee lui gan mai - essentially meaning that tomorrow will be another day in the fight.

I think Thais as well as Foreigners visiting Koh Larn are all classified as tourists

Just says tourists, maybe some were Thai.

So they expect no incubation period when they monitor? And if in a few days time fever starts................................................... There is so much we dont know about this virus.

What fight?

 

If there are no high temperatures to record and report, then there is no fight, because everything is well, right?

 

And why are there still THOUSANDS of tourists in transit?

The picture used in the article shows 4 people, which suggests that there are not very many people visiting at all, which is more likely closer to the truth.

If one had this high temperature ie a fever, would you feel inclined to take a ferry and go sit in the sun. I wouldn't.

this morning I was checked. My declared body temp was 35 (no typo), I was also checked 3 days ago at Makro ..... guess what ???? 35.2 ..... so medically speaking .... I either suffer from hypothermia or the temp scans are not really reliable or maybe not able to cope with multi controls. Anyway good luck everybody

Great post ???? ... especially the remark about 'transiting tourists' .... I agree, and would add there should be no movement of tourists or Thais except for essential services and direct shopping for food.

Borders should be closed for at least 2 weeks [a month more like it], government should give financial support taken from the coffers of the rich and large business to do so (junta's can do such things, just like China can tell people to lock-down and they will obey!).

A short period of stasis won't kill or destroy Thai tourism or economy (strain it yes but destroy it no).

The results of strong action by China (taken somewhat late) has seen a huge drop in infection rates in Wuhan. This might indicate that strong measures taken by the whole world will see infections rates drop through the floor after the infection period and detection of those already infected have run their cause. Sadly we see dragging of feet rather than courageous leadership by many many world leaders and their governments.

The temperature scanners were ordered before the virus broke out so they would be ready to put to use in the main event...
