Well there was at least 11...

Dangerous place Kuwait But hotter and sunnier than here ,so rate is surprising , but i suspect these were possibly workers living dormitories so open to all sorts of contamination

Either that or its all this pen sharing at 7 11 and the like , now where's my steam powered "beam me up scotty" Thai whatever application

It is colder than here jan through march only in May does it start getting hotter

...and so we slowly move to the new normal. Pattaya's beaches to reopen at the start of June and the lifting of the at the start of July, including a resumption of international travel. Face masks, frequent hand cleansing, social distancing and Thai Chana will all remain a part o four lives for the foreseeable future though. Let's hope nothing goes wrong between now and July 1st.

Thais are starting to open their eyes that many of them are living abroad. It might help us foreigners living in this country. Before the emergence of the the wuhan virus, most of them thought only foreigners travel to Thailand and not the other way around. The double pricing and other unfair treatment of foreigners should stop. Let’s hope things change after the end of this nightmare.

Zero Covid-19 risk in Thailand as long as you don't get near someone who came from somewhere outside of Thailand.

Yes dormitories are risky places in the best of times for contagious diseases , I've stayed in dormitories but only 4 beds and I sleep with a mask on.

Funny how they seem to fail to mention that rather pertinent detail.

 

Dont count on it for international flights in from Westerners to Thailand touristic way before next year first quarter.

Are they not in a Naval/ Army  base or quarantine hotel? So therefore kept away from the general population.

 

Are you sneaking into the Naval bases ? Nothing like a fellow in uniform.

And they just arrived in May, so stop thinking it was cold there.

So? Open the boutique.

Tell the Chula professor that all the people coming in for the past month have been Thais, not foreigners, and all of the ones infected for the past month have been Thais.  The latest number of infections - eleven - are all Thai. 

no word on dormitories.   

were these 11  positive before transport?  were there others on the plane? did they know?  are they now in 14 day quarentine?   just wait until they open up  for international travel,  the almost safe Thailand will be back in the deep chit.  taxi drivers will get it and then some nightclub will spread  it bigly.  and it may be a more virulent strain this time.

...and, doesn't care. The narrative is: Thais are safe here from other Thais who are here. Farangs are dirty and dangerous. Foreign lands are polluted and dangerous. China is probably okay, though, as they have the virus under control.

more spam

Yes , the stage is being set for the new normal

Fask masks , track and tracing, more surveillance, all this after destroying jobs worldwide, not sure of Thailand but the US are indicating 40 million jobs lost and lets also consider the lives lost due to lockdowns , not made available yet?

Awaiting the arrival of the potentially mandatory vaccine , which maybe a new type genetically modified Will it be safety tested ,none have been since 1986

Will this become an ID , a form of passport to travel? and for access to other services

Do people think that the lockdowns are warranted , justified? 

Thailand 57 deaths , 3000 infections, most deaths 95% elderly with conditions and compromised immune systems?

Most people are asymptomatic and this respiratory virus does not affect them.

Efficacy of all testing has not been validated yet?

But the Drug companies will make possibly Trillions out the vaccines and funding, as is already happening.

So out of the NEW normal, will be potentially NEW viruses and NEW pandemics, you see the revenue after all WAR is no longer profitable, the new PROFIT motive is Infectious diseases and their Vaccine so called cures, it makes sense they have been working on the Corona Virus at least since 2010, finally pulling out of the joint venture Wuhan Lab in 2019.

People are awake to this 

Healthy life in mind and body ????,

Come on! No other cases because no testing.

Why were they not tested before they left Kuwait???

They have all been in quarantine, could the infectious source be in the quarantine premises itself ?

Coronavirus: The mystery of 'silent spreaders'

But over the following week, three local people also came down with the disease for no obvious reason, leading to one of Singapore's first and most baffling coronavirus cases. Working out what had happened would lead to a new and disturbing insight into how the virus was so successfully finding new victims
