Did not shoot themselves in both Feet; one already amputated due to diabetes...

[Skallywag]

oh yes, panicking because 3 unhealthy, dying people have passed on

 

The culling will continue until all the elderly and sick have passed on

 

Daily funeral ceremonies at your local Buddhist temple start soon

When I watch reports from, the USA, Britain, Australia etc they don't mention underlying health issues. Just death by coronavirus. Do you think Italy has said what the underlying heath issues of each of the 6077 covid19 deaths was? It may be statistically important and prudent to mention that diabeties and lung disease will put you at higher risk of being critical or dying but it is not necessary or newsworthy to tag it on to everyone who dies from this. Just my opinion.

Im just going by what I have seen and since it has started underlying health issues have been tagged as putting people at higher risk and that ive seen in reports from everywhere not just Thailand.

WOW!

Coronavirus can survive on a surface for 17 days, says the CDC after traces were found in cabins on infected cruise ship Diamond Princess more than two weeks after passengers left

It's not just old that are dying. There's reports of people in their 30s and 20s from this virus too. Outside Thailand ofcourse. 

 

The economy will suffer even without govt intervention. Imagine majority of the work force needing to be hospitalized (average up to 3 weeks)/ventilator. That's mental. Without any quarantine or lockdown both the economy and healthcare system will collapse.

If you believe for one minute that Thailand only has two deaths, you are sadly mistaken, they are not testing people for it, and if they have and they come up with a positive, it is quashed quickly and they add them to the viral pneumonia stats, for how much longer I don't know because I am sure this graph would be through the roof by now.

 

I am saying this because we had a guy in our village who was tested positive and as soon as the top brass got wind of it, it was all over the village that a 2nd test was carried out and he was negative, his family is under house quarantine and he was taken away, now why was he taken away is he tested negative and why did the top brass waste their time on him if he wasn't positive, also heard from good sources two people died in a nearby hospital, bodies removed by men in those white gowns, e.g. Thai's usually collect the bodies of their deceased.

 

I don't believe a word this government is saying, the only reason the numbers are coming out now, because they know that the numbers are bursting at the seams.

 

Israel 1071 cases 1 death, Czech 1165 cases 1 death, Malaysia 1306 cases 11 deaths, Australia 1709 cases 7 deaths, Norway 2132 cases 7 deaths, are they making the numbers up too?

They would deliberately downplay then sir one reason - to protect the "image" of Thailand at all costs!

Exactly, face is everything here and to admit their lies and failure and incompetence would be absolutely crushing to them. People do not want to admit they were wrong in this culture.

Face - believing that the actions they are taking equate to a modern educated, experienced government. Which it isn't, or anything like it.

 

Face is the one thing which will destroy Thailand in that is affects the actions and reactions of most if not all Thais. Sorry to be gloomy, but Thais are about to get an understanding of what being a 3rd-word citizen of a 3rd-world country with a 3rd-world culture, actually means in everyday terms. There is no help coming, other countries have their own interests in focus, nobody cares about Thailand or Thais, and there is no celestial being coming on a white chariot to rescue Thais from themselves; what Thais have been told about their hagiography is BS, and the only reason they've been told it in the first place is so the poor, unintelligent and uneducated souls will simply do as they're told.

 

It isn't as if they haven't had warnings, people here from the 1st world have been talking about it for years. Nobody in their right mind would wish ill on anyone else, but to be honest, if you have a stove at home and one of the plates is hot and the people at home just cannot help themselves, and go put their hand on the hot plate, then it's likely that sooner or later, people will stop warning them, and they will have to learn about sensible behaviour for themselves.

 

I for one, have stopped trying to advise family and friends about the actions of Thais, there just isn't any real point in it. Thais think they already know best, they're just not interested in learning - especially not from a foreigner.

Brilliant! My feelings exactly and what I've been saying for years - ever since I first had it said to me, more than 20 years ago  . . . "what you do here is no good, it is farang way, not Thai way".

(At that time it it was re-siting an irrigation pump upstream, and not downstream, where the water had to be pumped uphill . . . but the loss of face (and lack of common sense) was iconic . . .)

Yes it does take a wild imagination doesn't it, especially when the CDC (ussa) and other nations all say 80% who do catch WuFlu have mild symptoms and only require bed rest, Tylenol, and fluids. Mental Solidpoo is intentionally killing the economy. You are pushing fear porn.

Old News from yesterday... it’s doubling every 3 days and thus we have to contain and reduce daily numbers ASAP. I guess curfew will be next. Not to mention that there are 4678 suspected and 1084 observed cases

Thanks for the link, interesting read. A little bit strange is the fact that the document comes from "a swiss doctor", but it does not mention a name anywhere.

[JimLuce]

So just to confirm “The country now has 827 cases and 4 fatalities since the outbreak began.” so only 4 known fatalities since this started? Italy alone is reporting 6000 fatalities. What’s going on?? I’m seriously concerned about the differences in the news I’m watching on TV and reading online. Sometimes it’s like the end of the world but then they’re still trying to figure out what to do about the Olympics.

Truth is not valued in Thai society, only what is convenient for the purposes of the moment is important, and any moral messages are lost very quickly. It's possible, perhaps even probable, that there are some people in Thailand (including in the government) who value truth for its own sake, but in my view, it's a very small percentage people who are smart enough to the stand above the prevailing culture. Thai culture, apart from not valuing truth, is extremely intolerant of people who do no people who do not comply with the Borg, and who wish to follow their conscience. Thai culture is a group game, not an individual game, and people that do not comply are quickly ostracised or otherwise punished for the impertinence (or, more accurately the impudence thinking they're better than other Thais). Like forest animals in a forest clearing, they were always equate what is culturally familiar, with what is safe.

sounds like China

If official numbers are somewhat true you should see numbers of deaths growing rapidly by the end of the week. Nobody dies suddenly from covid. Do you wish every infected sudden death?

You do understand that Italy, Iran, South Korea, Spain and even China had 2 deaths at one point?

 

Thailand has the benefit of how that played out, and they need to do everything possible to make sure that doesn't happen here.

 

Paranoid. Not even close. Complacent...more likely.

No just some accurate news. Every single foreign news channel has a different tune and everything on line is conflicting information.

And I’m not only talking about known infections I’m also talking about conflicting information about government guidance in various cities. And some things are closed lots of places in the mall are shutdown.

mild symptoms ? Do you have any idea what they categorize as mild ? have you seen the videos ?... fool, just look at the no. of infected vs number recovered.

In nation of 70 million people, 2 have died attributed to WuFlu since January, and the first person who died had existing lung complications.

 

700+ infections, or maybe it's 7000 because you don't believe govt stats, or maybe it's 70,000 because you don't believe govt stats and lots of people who have WuFlu aren't or were not sick enough to go to hospital and officially get tested and affirmed. Even if you chooses to believe 70,000 that is 0.001 of the total pop and but 2 people have died.

 

But govt, official doctors, leaders, and half the pop is crying the need to further shut down the country effectively applying martial law. Bankruptcies, loss of jobs, loss of incomes, and mass fear will most certainly drive the country into a bad depression and all the misery and deaths that come with it.

 

All because 0.001 of the population is wildly "guessed" at having WuFlu, or if you believe the govt, then it's 0.00001 of 70,000,000 people, and 2 people died.

 

The government has shot themselves in BOTH feet, and they are cocking the hammer and taking aim at their head. Sad that most people can't wake up.

Your using the racist and juvenile term "WuFlu" rather than the universally accepted medical term COVID19 erases all of your credibility as a human being. I would trust a 5 year old's math before I would trust yours. Your fearmongering is despicable. Would you do us all a favor and self quarantine from any further posts here? They are self serving and do no one else any good. Correction, I would not say self serving, I would say speaking of shooting yourself in the foot . . .

If anyone gets sick of wading through the waist deep mud of misinformation in this topic, and hearing the ignorant fearmongering blowhards' proclamations of doom, here is the latest from the WHO, no surprise to see it predicted that we will get through this and come out basically OK, just as we have with all of the other "plagues" some of which were a lot worse - polio, H1N1, swine flu, sars, mers, etc.

China has blood on her hands.  Not just here, but world wide.   Will the world seek revenge for this pandemic?  Probably not.  And definitely not from Thailand.

[spidermike007]

100 new cases a day is still very mild. And the four deaths is very low for 800 cases. All I am saying is no need to panic. We are quite safe here. Just take precautions.

I’ve been thinking that along but I’m concerned about society and governments breaking down because of mass panic. And things are shutting down that’s what scares me. The world stopping scares me not germs. Please God let them figure it out quick!
