Popular Post webfact Posted July 7, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 7, 2020 Dr. Thanarak Plipat says Thai people are inviting the return of COVID-19 Thai people are becoming less concerned about the prospect of a second wave of COVID-19 infections and may actually be encouraging the return of the contagion, said Dr. Thanarak Plipat, Deputy Director-General of Thailand’s Disease Control Department. Writing on his Facebook page on Monday, Dr. Thanarak asked if the country is ripe for a second wave. His answer is “yes”, as evidenced in the behavior of many Thais “who are putting Thailand at increased risk”, citing the many stores and shops which are no longer insisting on the wearing of masks and customers appearing to be more confident about not wearing them. “Whether the disease will return again depends on the Thai people, and I personally feel that they are not afraid of COVID-19 and want it to return,” said Dr. Thanarak, adding that this attitude is very dangerous, as he wants them to come to their senses.

Popular Post NB1986 Posted July 7, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 7, 2020 Its easy to say for you Dr. Thanarak, what about if you would be amongst all unemployed people, would you be scared of Covid-19 is easy to talk when your a** is not in danger. Sooner or later if your country want to survive it will have to change that policy. Or more people will die from hunger, crime, car accidents than from Covid-19. 33 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definetely, because "dirty" foreigners are coming back to work, to see their families and that will be their excuse again, is obvious. 23 2 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Raphus Posted July 7, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 7, 2020 Well it does seem quite strange that the UK didnt make Thailand exempt from quarantine upon arrival !! Therefore, the country must have cases still and are not telking the people to show how good and glorious Thailand is. It is all a big government PR exercise and the foreigners will be blamed and not the Thai population. Therefore, ruining thebtourist industry further. They seem to be continually digging the country into an economic abyss on the glorification of politics. 13 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Jingthing Posted July 7, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 7, 2020 (edited) I'm convinced that Thailand has done relatively very well up till now. But it would be tragic to waste all the effort that represents by relaxing too much and too quickly. That doesn't mean that new lockdowns are needed but if they blow it they will be.

Please tell that to my daughter who has been working her rear end off with Covid patients flooding the hospitals she has worked at in Florida in the ICU, and now in Pennsylvania. The virus is real, and if people would just take care of themselves so that they would not infect others by doing the right thing, then the States would not be now having to pass laws enacting the wearing of masks and closing down establishments again. Now I await the Anti-masker brigade to chime in..... Edited July 7, 2020 by ThailandRyan 33 1 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because official case numbers and actual reality are not the same thing. I'll give you an example. I know of a man in another country that got a fairly severe case with classic symptoms including delirium. Described as like the flu but 10 times worse. He stupidly didn't visit a doctor much less tested. He had been very careful before infection. Now he complains that his province isn't opening up as they have no recent official cases.

Sorry but the OP is regarding Covid-19, and as you said the Flu, I assumed you were one of the 'It's only the Flu" brigade. My mistake, but that does not mean I need prescription glasses. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
