Most people that catch it have regular flu symtoms. The panicking you are doing is for outlier cases. Most infected cases are not reported as the people do not need to go to the hospital for a mild fever and a sore throat.

stop reading social media and newspaper 'articles' that are 10 lines long. This is what every informed person thinks. People panicking and refusing to understand what is happening is why theres a dictatorship in Hungary right now.

But at the same time can we trust the governor or the government here

he just extended his power too. 

with only few cases in comparison with other countries which is not reaching this far. 

So either they are lying or exploring the situation. 

Necessarily means up to them now either way. 

And if all this is necessarily why we still have full cost

electric 

Water

Rent 

Bank loan 

Food 

Gasoline/diesel 

All off which have wat and/or tax and some government owned. 

And now the transparency is completely gone 

Landowners and banks must pay there share too same must the government 

But you see the pattern its only a few there are spared and its not the common people 

So what does it mean to be informed when it's hard not to see a pattern there is benefiting the wrong people as the same time as common people are fighting for there lives, health as well as financially. 

It's not only here but every where

Luckily politicians are not immune to the virus ...

Only Very intelligent and responsible parents stay in Asian during virus spreading from China. Should they have children at all?

Are you saying foreigners with children should not be in Thailand anymore?

What a stupid comment!

 

Three weeks ago these people were probably still teaching at the school. They live and work here. Why would they flee the country immediately?

 

And where exactly should they go to avoid the virus? It`s all over the globe. 

 

Many are in the same boat. I`ve been here for 15 years. I have a house, a family, kids. My entire life is here. I couldn`t just go back to my home country. There is nothing for me there. 

 

Obviously, the only thing to do is to stay where you are.

True, i live and work in malaysia, we are in total lockdown. Why on earth would i spend lots of money to go back to my home country with nowhere to live. Would be a total waste of time, effort, money.

which school is the larger question?

I wish all the children speedy recovery

 

All my friends with young children left by the end of February. 

 

Yes, Call me and all my friends STUPID. 

Would be nice if someone knew which school these Canadian teachers were at.

I am assuming that English is not your native language? as this was not what was said, furthermore some of us where not able to leave or have spouses without visas to travel with us! 

Now staying with my wife & child was the opposite of stupid - leaving them alone most certainly would have been!

luckily, unless they have important underlying health issues they will simply get a fever and a cough for a few days/weeks.. thats without taking one of the current cures.

 

stop  panicking. 

Note:  no Chinese as ever given a Thai person the virus-apparently, it’s quite impossible.  Also in China, only foreigners carry the virus, and spread it around to Chinese people.

Im sure my friends at Headstart would have told me also, however I would be keen to stay quiet if owned the school

 

I have heard through the coconut grapevine that it isn't a school located in the southern part of the island.
