webfact Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Police virus checkpoints put 100 on watchlist By The Nation More than 100 travellers across the country were found in random checks on Thursday (March 26) to have high body temperature. The screenings for Covid-19 at 359 checkpoints are a new measure being conducted by the Royal Thai Police. Deputy commissioner-general Pol Gen Suwat Jangyodsuk said travellers who had a cough, sore throat, difficulty breathing and body pain were scanned and more than 100 were reported to the Public Health Ministry. Their names and information are being recorded for further tracking. Suwat said the checkpoints have been established as a means of stemming the spread of the virus through tighter travel control. He apologised that traffic jams have resulted in some locations and that the equipment being used still has technical faults.

OneeyedJohn Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 (edited) Thanks, can't believe I am so dumb as to not think of that for myself. Anyway, thanks again. I forgot to mention the main point of my post was to highlight the 4 different types of face mask. Happy now ?

Brer Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 I had to make two trips yesterday across a provincial border entering Bueng Kan there was a checkpoint and the road was narrowed to a single lane. A marquee had been erected with a table containing several packs of water, police were just casually standing around, checking, testing was not occurring. My second necessary trip later saw about half a dozen police with several other officials casually chatting away no social distancing occurring and again no checking or testing occurring. Exiting Bueng Kan into Nong Khai there are no checkpoints whatsoever. Good on ya Bueng Kan (and Nong Khai) your doing a splendid job in reducing unnecessary travel and the spread of CV. Can you really believe the Thai government? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what, allow the horses to bolt because they need a break, come on now, 12 cops, can be divided into two groups of 6, 3 on one side of the road, 3 on the other while the other 6 rest for say 15 minutes each, then change over, commonsense man, it's not that hard when you have such an infectious disease that the world is trying to contain.

Grumpy John Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 "Wonder will never cease!" I thought when I saw the road block at Sak Lek. Had to take one of the dogs to the vet so on the way in, South to North....Nothing! Going back there was at least 10 cops plus immigration with their smart car and I thought I would get stopped for sure, but no....waved through by the one cop on the actual road! Maybe the nurse hadn't turned up To take temperature readings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logosone Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 I'm just glad the government is protecting us so well from this virus. After they found those underground masseuses I slept so much better. No risk of this virus spreading now. It's such a relief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecyclist Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Out of the 100, 99 probably only had the common cold. The average person catches a cold once or twice a year and it takes about a week to get over it. Roughly one in 50 people or 2% currently have a cold. 2 % pf about 60 million is over one million 'Corona suspects'. And that's just the cold, add other non-corona related fevers and you get millions who should be tested, and potentially quarantined. These thermometers are a very blunt tool.

So unfortunately no bolting horses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
