Deputy Prime Minister and Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul met with Chinese Embassy Charge d’Affaires Yang Xin today (March 24) after China sent medical equipment to the Thai government to bolster its efforts in fighting Covid-19.

 

The products consist of 10,000 N95 face masks, 100,000 surgical masks, 834 Covid-19 nucleic acid diagnostic kits (PCR-fluorescence probing) and 2,000 personal protective equipment suits.

 

“This first batch of products has been donated from the Chinese government,” said Xin. “More will be delivered, which the Thai government has bought from China under a G2G contract.”

 

“We will also urge Chinese companies that have invested in Thailand to donate additional medical equipment to show our gratitude to the Thai government for taking care of Chinese tourists who had visited Thailand earlier and had become sick,” he added.

 

Meanwhile, Anutin said China was a friend of Thailand who never turned down requests for help. “Tomorrow [March 25], the Alibaba Foundation headed by Jack Ma will donate additional sanitary face masks to Thailand, which will be handed out to the Government Pharmaceutical Organisation, the Department of Medical Services, the Department of Disease Control, as well as public and private hospitals,” he said.

 

“I would like to urge Thais to strictly follow the Public Health Ministry’s suggestions, including maintaining a social distance, avoiding public activity and undergoing self-quarantine at home to stay safe from the virus,” Anutin said.

 

“Today, the Covid-19 death toll in Thailand has risen to four, but still within the 5-10 per cent range of total infections,” he added.

Has our little ray of sunshine at the public health ministry also discussed the issue of "dirty farang"?

If so, he might have kicked the Charge's bottom to be relayed in Beijing for trying to swipe the entire mess the world is in now ...... under the endlessly big rug of China?

China was never and is not a friend of Thailand, China is the country's new colonial power. So far acting as puppet masters they will take over this country and d1ckheads like Anutin are pouring extra oil into smokeless fire. See what happened in Cambodia 40+ years ago; friends - my foot! 

Expecting the worst for Thailand while hoping for the best for all the good people in this country.

A good kick in the nuts might have been more appropriate!

On his knees????? Huh.? Hmm. And it makes me wonder. Have a nice day folks. 

So a photo opportunity is more important than the directives on social distancing and limiting the spread of the virus

Ah! Getting further instructions from his "puppet master" on how to continue blaming dirty westerners??

A little brown nosing makes the Chinese feel very good about themselves.

The Chinese and the WHO have a lot to answer for in regards to the situation the world find itself in 

If they had been more proactive and told the world that this was serious rather than hide facts and and silenced doctors things may have beena lot different  

 

Strictly follow a suggestion?

Hrmmm. So who gets a N95 mask which is worth something but of which they only have 10,000, and who gets a surgical mask which is worth very little and doesn't do anything very useful unless you are already a carrier?

 

Who decides? Anutin? Dear God...

these are probably some of the equipment they  flew out of Australia, 90 tons worth  of much needed equipment sent to china by one of their aussie chinese firms leaving Australia drastically short, with any luck anutin will test positive

That ain't much, do we have to wai for that?

Is this the same medical kit that Europeans have found to be 20% effective, not 80%?

 

A nice opportunity to brown nose with his cousins and see when the cheque arrives in the mail. this guy is pond life.

 

 Interesting that the mask is back on for the photo op.
