Why don't governments attack these causes of death then..?? starvation, malaria, TB, suicide, mental health, RTAs, normal influenza etc etc they have the facts !! I didn't quote you out of context. Governments do address the issues you mention but the unknown current problem is more frightening, a higher priority and in the public eye. Many of the issues you mention are political problems rather than medical. Global medical issues are being addressed but maybe you have never heard of the flu vaccine programs. This last winter in the UK schoolchildren were brought into the program as research had identified them as superspreaders. You are wrong to make out there is no progress being made in other direction, of course the level of progress will never suit everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might make a little progress, just enough to placate the masses. Truth of the matter is, every one of the mentioned issues, kills more people annually than C-19 ever will. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Almer Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 It is obvious to all that Songran will see the explosion, why was interprovincial non urgent travel not banned, do people in high up places want to stop this or not, madness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a nation with 70million Thai people and with 90+% of cases of infections in Thai people and a story aimed at influencing the behavior of Thai people, seems like they could've come up with a photo that included Thai people. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

generealty Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 I understand and respect the safety regulations but it is extremely difficult if not impossible to practice social distancing inside our home with 9 people living there. Also what about many thais that live in a single room, or the families living up country with a small house/room. Very difficult if not impossible. But we do our best and just waiting for a positive outcome soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketyo Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 (edited) "It urged people to stay home during this Songkran festival, keep distance within the house and wear a mask" Really!! Stay 2 metres away from family members in the same house at all times and wear a mask indoors. In a country where mostly, large families live in small rooms in a really hot humid country. He is recommending something that is impossible and illogical. Is it the most stupid recommendation of all time? We need to have a chart of the most stupid comments from Thai public authorities. Keep it live and public online so that they they think about their guidelines and policies before announcing them.

rickudon Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Many South=East Asian countries seem to be doing well with Covid. But to think flu is worse is wrong. In the UK, Covid has killed more people in 6 weeks than flu did in the whole of 2019. And it still has many more it can infect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Close contact with family as suspected a big risk all in the same house and repeated interactions with the virus in the air Some family member must have brought the virus home for starters,Then interacting /touching/coughing /sneezing/cot exercise , all of them will share the virus with the rest of the people at that home .If some go out and interact with other people than it will go on and on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are quite entitled to believe what you want but covid-19 is a global medical issue. By the same token you are also entitled to believe that the US is lying, there are no mass graves in New York, or that Italy is lying, the figure of 368/million has been falsified. If however your interpretation is wrong, then the Italian death rate reflected globally would be in the order of 2.8 million deaths(7794 x 368), now what issue did you mention has that potential death toll. Believing it will never happen provides very little protection and I for one am glad that those in charge take a different view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I googled the title and this guys approach has been dismissed on the grounds that I already mentioned, that the resulting death toll would be unacceptable. He is also wrong to state that there is no new cases in China, new cases are on the increase and the quarantine period on international arrivals has been increased to 28 days. Containment resolved the Great Plague of 1665, not herd immunity. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course its transmitted at home especially when you implement a non effective (whats the point) other than giving the cops some time off Curfew.....Seasonal flu transmits the same way and just as Covid 19 there is a substantial percentage of people that are Asymptomatic but carriers and can transmit the flu.

Yes the infection rate is no doubt significantly more than the published approx 3,000 cases but surely not to the extent that you imply.
