Thai People Confident of COVID-19 Control

 

 

NONTHABURI, July 10 (TNA) – The majority of Thai people are confident that the government can cope with the second spread of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), according to a survey by the Public Health Ministry.

 

Dr Tares Krassanairawiwong, director-general of the Health Service Support Department, said the Public Health Ministry, the World Health Organization’s South-East Asia office and partners conducted their latest survey on people’s efforts to control COVID-19 during business lockdown relaxation.

 

It was one of surveys conducted online, on phone and by local health volunteers with 407,008 respondents from May 15 to July 2.

 

It found that Thai people feared that pubs, bars and karaoke shops posed the highest risks of the second spread of COVID-19, followed by wet markets, nurseries and schools. However, 55.3% of respondents said they believed the government would be able to contain COVID-19 but 38.8% doubted the government’s capability.

 

The survey also showed that people were protecting themselves less. In the first-week survey, 85.3% of respondents protected themselves from infection but the percentage dropped to 80.7% in the 7th-week survey.

Cope?  You mean take credit for it dying out naturally.   The numbers may show that it is as bad as the flu.  Here in Saigon, masks are less common, bars are open though empty as the economy and tourism have not recovered, but those with healthy immune systems will survive.   If your immune system is not strong, take vitamin C and B, and aerate Essential Oils.  Essential Oils debilitate the virus and strengthen the immune system.  Stop taking antibiotics when you have a cold.  

Don't they mean "possible second spread"

I only hear “ govt stupid” or “ govt baaa”. Which I disagree with. I think it’s the reverse. Sheep get slaughtered. 

No, Thai's I have talked with agrees the government has not done a good job handling the covad 19. The all agree with only .03% tested is not good enough to say their are no virus in Thailand. With only .03% of tests no one knows how many cases there are here.
