Great news, and ample justification for cautiously relaxing restrictions. The irresponsible actions of those in the USA will without doubt doubt cause a new wave there. The selfish actions of those in Wisconsin and other states is beyond belief. Thailand should impose severe restrictions on all travellers from the USA until they get their house in order.

Don’t believe it it is political cover up. China has just locked down another city from an outbreak.

Yes amazing 70 million population not one new case !!!!! Such a true reflection of Covid 19 Thailand fantasy!

 

With some infected people displaying no outward symptoms of the virus, rapid testing among vulnerable groups has emerged as the best way of identifying virus carriers and stopping them from spreading the pathogen to others

 

A news item above kind of hinted that you do actually need to test people!

 

 

Yu do realise pre-emptive testing is already being carried out. Who else do you suggest be tested? Some positive cases have also been reported from patients being prepared for operations.

A fart - unless you're having a specific (and fairly personal) problem is in the form of a gas. CoVid-19 is spread in aerosol droplets - basically little drops of liquid. As I said, farts are not usually liquid.

 

Gases can pass through material much more easily than liquid droplets.

Tell me then if it is right in your face, how many tests Thailand has done, and how many they did yesterday.  Do you have access to the MOPH closed off website and files that we are all blocked from.  It is a fair question, is it one you can answer?

The latest figures from the World Health Organization Country Office for Thailand are from May 14th. On that day their figures indicate there were 3,117 people tested (Thailand reports by people rather than by sample). According to the same WHO source, since the beginning of May Thailand has tested an average of around 3,000 people per day.

Do you have any data from a credible source, Kill Bill Gates "WHO" is not credible IMO?

Your answer will be no? surprise, surprise, the people who stand to gain the most are driving the new "Agenda"!

Just how long will people continue to listen to the drivel driven by the corrupt media!

Lets think about that, 14 days, what will it bring? more suicides than the total attributed to CV19 to date, more debt, more ruined lives, then they will come up with yet another reason (as instructed) to continue the "lockdown", destroying more lives, while they are content to do so as they are financially secure.

The "con" so far "went from “flatten the curve” to “find the cure”, from “social distancing” to “house arrest”, from “2 weeks” to “3 months”, from “we’re in it together” to “snitch on you neighbours as designated Orwellian soldiers” from “individual liberty” to “comply or pay fine”. Now 14 more days.

At least Flu deaths are down by a huge number this year ????

You are correct regarding impact on civil liberty and freedoms, though man on the moon has been a great money earner you must admit.

Unless you can show me footage of Thai authorities acting as Australian Police have. then i would say Thailand has been extremely level headed, calm and professional:

This only matters if Thai decision makers viewed the threat at the same level you do. As more than likely the threat spewed out by MSM was 90% hype.

True, as you suggest the threat level by the MSM was "amplified" fact is 3 x more people have died from lightening strikes in Thailand in the past year than have died from the "virus" my assessment of the danger - based on that fact is obvious!

Further, I really struggle to believe that there were any real decisions made in Thailand by "decision makers" unless they gained a whole load of competence in very recent times and then decided to follow the "herd" they were instructed on what actions to take IMO. If you are going to instigate an "agenda" may as well go global!

Thai authorities and high level leadership are not incompetent as many posters on TV suggest, look at the mayhem that has occurred all around Thailand in the last 100 years and they have managed to come through relatively unscathed. and for the most part prospered nicely.  This can only be achieved with competent negotiators and intelligent leadership, qualities that were clearly missing from Cambodia, Burma and Vietnam. 

 

Remember also that Thai citizens still have soveriegnty over Thai land ownership, farming is still held by rural Thai families, still have free markets, education and media has remained nationalistic and united,  the west relinquished all these liberties.

I see your point, but you are taking a very "high level" view point. a lot of the problems in Thailand have been solved by a regime of "dictatorship"

The social divide here is one of the largest in the world, any deals that have been brokered have been in the favour of the ruling elite.

"Free markets" have always favoured the "higher classes" who make the bulk of the money.

Education and media is based on "indoctrination" it has to be to maintain "nationalism", the power base & status quo, which "was" and is being challenged, though that may have been nipped in the bud!

Did the west "relinquish" these liberties or did they improve their lot? not sure - as the standards which the west has set for themselves are so "corrupted"!

I'm by no means suggesting that there hasn't been dark periods in the last 100 years, though not as dark as losing over 60,000 young men during WW1 as Australia did. or nearly 40,000 during WW2.  The divide in finances maybe great, yet this doesn't mean the Corporate Thais are any happier then the rural Thais.

While this is true what would you prefer your children to grow up under, a proud nationalistic un-subverted family orientated environment.  Or the western style of soft core porn on free to air tv, gender studies with the option of identity crisis, skirts and gender neutral bathrooms for the boys and the promotion of a sexualized no responsibility or consequences abortion filled future for the girls.  Not forgetting the readily availability of never ending pharmaceutical to make you happy.

The first sentence about the dark periods is a product of modern living that has been "sold" to the masses, "collateral" lost in conflicts is just a disgrace......

 

As to the lifestyle that is "promoted" in western culture! - O dear, did we ever take the wrong direction, impossible for me to justify modern day society which IMO is being driven by satanic people!

As below ???? a picture speaks louder than words? Sadly choices have been put out of the reach of many for "reasons"?

I understand what your saying here, though i disagree that collateral is a disgrace.  Nations, Peoples, Cultures, Security is extremely serious stuff you don't get to hit a restart button if you've chosen the wrong path that ultimately ends your Nation or it's People.  If you have an external enemy hell bent on destroying your Nation and it's Peoples and is employing certain peoples within your Nation to accomplish this goal, then as a last resort for the survival of your Nation start stacking up collateral.  What i consider a disgrace is the sacrifice of so many young Anglo Saxon: Irish, Scottish, British, German, Aussie, Kiwi, American, Canadian men, the cream of the crop, sacrificed for the Global Governance and then betraying Them, their Children and Grandchildren by implementing draconian laws and social restraints while transffering genarations of western wealth to a more submissible, less demanding and easier controlled people.

All things considered Thailand has performed a miracle compared with much of the world. Indeed much of the developing world doesn't 'appear' to have suffered much. Much of Asia seemed to escape the worst of the virus too. 

 

Rankings (higher ranking is better) for conformed cases of the COVID-19 disease per million population include:

 

Rank

 

3. Qatar 10,774 cases/million

11. Singapore 4,681 cases/million

14. Bahrain 3,985 cases/million

37. Maldives 1,999 cases/million

 

108. South Korea 215 cases/million

110. Malaysia 213 cases/million

119. Pakistan 176 cases/million

136. Japan 128 cases/million
137. Bangladesh 128 cases/million

140. Philippines 112 cases/million

155. India 66 cases/million
157. Indonesia 62 cases/million

160. China 58 cases/million

166. THAILAND 43 cases/million 

197. Cambodia 7 cases/million

206. Myanmar 3 cases/million

208. Laos 3 cases/million

209 Vietnam 3 cases/million

 

If you total up the entire ASEAN region there have been 

Qatar, Singapore, Bahrain and the Maldives will all claim that migrant workers - mostly from Bangladesh, India and Pakistan - were the main source of infection. It's a miracle then, that the infection rate in the crowded cities of Bangladesh, India and Pakistan were nowhere near as badly affected (officially) as the countries where many of their countrymen went to work. Is that how a virus spreads? It seems to be a very dollar hungry virus.

 

There is some kind of magical triangle east of Thailand that has made the virus an almost non entity. Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam have a combined population of 121,000,000 people and yet have recorded a total of only 459 confirmed cases between them, and of course zero deaths. What a picky virus.

Before anyone starts about heat and tropical weather, then maybe they can explain how places like the Maldives and Ecuador had so many cases.
