..and the stupidity reporting award goes to!

 

Misleading headline. This story is based on just 15 cases. 

 

perhaps the Thais infected have left or cannot afford or don't want to be tested 

 

It would be helpful if they gave movement details of those tested 

 

But the message is clear - foreigners even though they are only reporting a very small sample are primarily responsible - the can of worms they are opening will not be forgotten 

 

There are thousands of Thais have left Pattaya - I wonder why and how many infected

As for this article, it's inflammatory and should be binned where it belongs.

Inflammatory to TVF posters, yes, reporting facts we don't like to hear. Now if the stats had been the opposite, all Thais no foreigners, it would have received nothing but love with numerous observations on Thai carelessness & stupidity and self-congratulations on farang superiority and "I told you sos."

There is a big drive - as we type - to find suitable people to inhabit/populate the new planned International space station. A mix of races and ages (16 to 30). They want 87 women and 13 men. This is the optimal ratio for breeding from scratch.

 

Is each person who is allowed on the space station issued with a tin hat?

 

[Polanskiman]

Did a little calc:

 

 

So at least 81% are Thai nationals since among those 145 unknown cases some are potentially thai nationals. Then again the hardcore ones will say it's all because of foreigners no matter how many thai cases there are (and will be). Obviously no Thais came from abroad with the disease in their pockets. That's just not possible to even consider for narrow minded people...
 

One word comes to mind. Xenophobic. But that ain't new in this country.

Looking at other countries report I don't see any official segregation being done by nationalities. Obviously I haven't looked at all countries so don't take my word on that.

Foreigners have to go to immigration, even if they have Covid-19 symptoms or pay fines. What do they expect?

exactly - one place I am going to avoid like the "plague"

[Logosone]

Since the tests offered in Thailand cost 7000 Baht it is more likely foreigners can afford the test.

 

Obviously the number of infected Thais is massively higher.

According to my sources, the virus will go around the world killing about 2% of humans. Then it will mutate and go round again. And again, and perhaps again. We are obviously not being informed about this. The hidden powers only want one billion people to do the work, while they pull/jerk the strings, like the puppet-master and his marionette. This virus is just a pilot for the future real deal.

 

Don't believe those that say that the population will be reduced to half-a-billion; just not enough people.

Does the tinfoil hat fit ok,not itching is it?

[Somtamnication]

Headlines like these plays into the anti-farang sentiments seen from 2010 uprisings to know. Ignore them. Be happy Be safe.

Surely won't be hard to find those 13 guys. Jeez, at least six women each for sex and never needing to do the cooking or cleaning.

And after the first round of babies they will need to change partners. Don't need no jealousy in the space station for sure.

 

As for selecting the guys, it could be difficult Antonymous. Remember there will only be 13 of them, and if they return to earth they will need certain attributes. Engineering and medical skills. The ability to light a fire with a stick of wood. Artistic types and perhaps a musician.

This government is determined to put the blame on farangs, for the virus, and anything else.

Other countries are saying ++++++ number of people are down with the virus.

Not here farang, farang, farang, the crazy bar stewards are determined to blame farangs.

Sad, sad, sad.

Er, calm down. 

 

This tvf story about Pattaya. Not thai news. 

 

The thai news, thai people read/look, in all the province say is Thai people. You imagine to much.

 

I think to much TVF, make you crazy, believe thai care/talk about you. Everyone worry about health now, nobody talk about farang.

 

Ask your wife how many people talk about farang today. 

 

It only repoert 9 foreigner in Pattaya have it. Nobody die, it not important news.

Thai people not care about this.

 

1500+ Thai confirm, 9 thai die, business close, economy disaster, lose the job, can not pay electric, rent, loan etc.

You think thai care about 9 sick foreigner at Pattaya now? Pfffft

Lets be real.

Hypothetically, ONE popular "entertainment worker" can cause catastrophic damage on fun-town.

and that infected super spreader Thai is highly likely no longer in pattaya and has (deleted)ed off to spread it up north amongst their own friends and families

Where did it all start, their Chinese masters.

The very first infection recorded outside of China was in Thailand in mid January - a Chinese national from Wuhan 

 

How a preemptive nuclear attack on China right now as that is pretty much what they have done on the rest of the world

 

when this is all over I think China is going to end up very isolated and so it should be

[audaciousnomad]

What's the best way to encourage xenophobia?  Publish statistics on the ethnic/national background of each patient, so it's easy to identify who to scapegoat.  ????

I do not know whether they will have large breasts, or the men big members. Obviously, their criteria will not necessarily be on physical attributes alone.

 

I must say NCC1701A, that virus mask - covering your face - looks awfully like a bar-girls undies.

 

Have you been approached?

Mask shortage - a possible substitute - Thai ladies bra 2x masks possible - you might look like a tit

 

Panty liner 1x mask - you might look like a (deleted)

[scubascuba3]

I don't understand why they ALL receive treatment? in many countries you are meant to self isolate for a period often 7-14 days.

 

The reason is its either a money thing or they are only seeing those with the worse symptoms

The virus does not discriminate. It will infect, if given the chance to. Regardless of ethnicity, colour or creed.

 

Thailand, on the other hand...

Certainly managed to inflame the paranoid and easily offended Thaivisa members 

I don't think it is paranoia.

When you have a health minister (and not only him by the way) that puts it all on foreigners, one ends up legitimately thinking foreigners are not welcome here. This is not just a one time incident where foreigners are used as scapegoats, it's kind of recurrent in the land of smiles.

Meaningless. What percentage of total Thais in Pattaya and what percentage of total foreigners in Pattaya were tested? It really is odd that media is trying to add racism to an already terrible situation.
