The Bangkok Post website, nearly always breaks these down in more detail than the story on here does. Masseuse was in quarantine in Chonburi after returning from Russia and the other was the wife of an already diagnosed infected man in Phuket.

It was a Thai masseuse repatriated from Russia.

Every time I see figures like these, I'm reminded that corvid-19 is far from a death sentence. What is a death sentence, figuratively anyway, is shutting down the economy. You just got to think that Sweden has gotten it right..... But, we won't know for a long time, until after this plaque has run its course and we can compare data. Still, shuttering an entire economy due to a 4% death rate just, somehow, doesn't resonate....

The article does not say that the Chinese woman was repatriated from Russia, that's just your interpretation of something very unlikely. The report does state that a 46-year-old Chinese woman was affected as was a 55-year-old Thai masseuse, who had returned from Russia.

Thailand's entire economy has not "been shuttered", neither has any other country's entire economy.

May 25, 20205 yr That bit of news about the wife of the asymptomatic Italian guy coming down with C19 is a bit worrying, certainly for the Phuket authorities. The big unknown a few days ago was whether he'd brought the virus back from Shanghai (since he's asymptomatic, he could have been carrying it for months), or if he'd picked it up in Phuket? As he'd been back here since March and his wife has just come down with C19 it must mean that he contracted the virus locally in Phuket. I hope the contact tracing guys are busy on this one, and they're not relying on the Thai Chana system too much, lol!
May 25, 20205 yr Popular Post Studies now show a person with Covid is no longer infectious after 11 days, so the Italian (and Mrs Italian) almost certainly caught it in Phuket. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-05-24/covid-19-patients-not-infectious-after-11-days-singapore-study

May 25, 20205 yr 2 people caught Covid 19, 1 died ( sadly for their family) This is headline news Meanwhile 69+Million people are on standby to get back to normality. These mind games are being played out all over the world by governments and MSM. The statistics say this isn't a worldwide pandemic. But still we go on...
May 25, 20205 yr Thailand seems to have a rudimentary track and trace program set up. My big concern is: do they have manpower and computer power to do anything useful with the data collected or is this just for show? Track record regarding other data collected would tend to lean towards "all show and no go".
May 25, 20205 yr Talk about stupid , what does it matter who or where, afraid are we ? There will always be lingering cases. Get a hobby....and by the way not only Thai Nationals are able to return..

There will obviously be exceptions to such a broad rule. But please do tell.
