webfact Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Bangkok: Deputy governor investigates after random checks turn up no Covid-19 cases Picture: INN One of Bangkok's deputy governors went to investigate a major checkpoint on Rama 2 Road on the Thonburi side of Bangkok. Sakchai Bunma and his entourage wanted to find out why 50,000 checks on motorists and passengers had failed to turn up anyone with a temperature. INN reported that in the period from March 26th to April 20th there had been random checks on 30,158 vehicles and 52,135 people inside them. Yet no one had a temperature over 37.5C. Sakchai urged those manning the inbound checkpoint near a PTT gas station to up their game and increase the frequency of checks while sticking to the social distancing and health measures.

OnTheGround Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Something doesn't make sense here. Ops! I forgot for a moment, where I am. In reality he indirectly accuse them for not doing their work. :'Hey Guy, we need some positive test, so we can proof you guys doing your job'. Another prosecution coming? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surelynot Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 This is a weird story. 50,000 checks and demands to "do more"? I guess, as someone says, his suspicion is that they are simply not checking, just sat in the shade......CBA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiggy Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 He was probably upset as he didn't receive any brown envelopes for allowing people with a temperature to pass through the roadblock. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotssing Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 a) Highly likely that people feeling awful with a temperature are not out and about b) Those temperature guns unless used properly are pretty useless. Whenever anyone zaps me with one my temperature is way below what it actually is (I do take it every morning) and once I think I was recorded at 35.0 at one supermarket. Frankly I would be worried with such a case of hypothermia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went 100 yards down the road another 7/11 and 36.5...... I also had a 34. something at the entrance to my village earlier this week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukrules Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Temperature checks are pretty useless when done like this. They might work in colder places like Wuhan where they were finding people with temperatures in the cold weather but in Thailand where the AC is on in the car they will be lucky to find anything. Also people who have a high temperature will feel pretty ill and tend to stay at home until they recover. Then there's the reliability of the test, I've had several give an error (low) and a few say 32 C, my temperature is normal, they simply don't work very well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diddl Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 “Bangkok: Deputy governor investigates after random checks turn up no Covid-19 cases” Why? Is he getting paid for every Covid-19 he can find? In any case, having a high temperature does not mean you have Covid-19, it could have a multiple of reasons. Also, a virus cannot be 'caught' from close proximity, it can only be injected into a living host and cannot survive outside a non-living host so it cannot even live on exterior surfaces, only bacteria can travel outside a living host and survive on outer surfaces. Look it up, it's all in the medical dictionary. The whole thing is a scam and some people are making a lot of money out of the suffering of people!!! The whole thing is a crime against humanity.
