^{Stepping out at 83, good for him.  Getting covid at 83, not so good.}

Seventeen people had high risk exposure to this patient, so how do they know he didn't get of one of the 17 

 

or

 

including him 18 people have been exposed to someone else that one of them was exposed too

 

But again the tone of the story is clear - it was the farangs fault

Nonsense. The same kind of information has been posted time and time again with Thai being the ones being infected.

Still the dirty farangs fault ! 55

Interesting. The covid catches just the dirty farangs. Good luck for Thailand all will be gone for years and the economy can rock with 40 baht soup stalls and fish markets. Oh, and buffaloes (not sick ones anymore, though).

How did the 81-year old Italian man get into Thailand when everything is locked down and no incoming flights are available? I met a sweet old lady from Italy in my condo the other day. But unlike Tom (truck driver), Dick (plumber), and Harry (brick layer), the lady had a mask and was maintaining social distancing. Assuming he is here for a longtime, I wonder why he went to Patong area? Did he go there looking for a bride at his old age or to meet Tom, Dick and Harry for drinking beer. Not sure he got infected from a Thai would be bride or from Tom, DIck, Harry from his country. So many questions not answered in the reports.
