Who made the decisions to let Egyptian soldiers in when they had been staying in many other countries?? This or these decisions were most unwise and endanger lives and allow others to take little notice of quarantine laws !! Special Diplomatic special pass. For others just like Monopoly, "Do not pass go" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went into my local mini Tesco lotus today. No masks being worn by staff, no temperature checks at the doors. People stacked at the registers like days of old, same on the street at all the local Talad stalls. Of course it was 7:30 am and all preparing for work by grabbing there daily necessities. It has gone downhill as I started to notice about two weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote While in Rayong province, the infected soldier is reported to have left the hotel to visit a shopping mall and a few other venues, said Dr. Taweesin Not much of a "quarantine," apparently... Perhaps the military man and others with him, being good Egyptians in Thailand, may have had "needs" that couldn't adequately be satisfied at the on-base facilities at U-Tapao?

Pedrogaz Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Absolutely stupid. I don't give a hoot, ambassadors, Americans, soldiers.....they should all go through quarantine. If they don't want to come, use Zoom for a teleconference. The US military that got the free pass, only wanted a photo op of the signing ceremony....any discussions could have been done by teleconference. Putting the whole country at risk because a few <deleted> are inconvenienced, is asinine. Prayut, wake up, we cannot afford these diplomatic niceties. Put a stop to them immediately.

Popular Post Pedrogaz Posted July 14, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 14, 2020 Of course the army is responsible. Who is running the country but the army? Who is letting foreign soldiers come in without quarantine? The army. You are responsible. Stop it and stop all contact with foreign military. I don't want to get COVID-19 because of your arrogance. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has never taken place the way it is portrayed here, it is staged for one purpose: To scare Thai people and find a reason to extend the emergency decree. Staying in power is the main goal, no matter what tools it takes to achieve that. Do you really think if true they would disclose the results of the Covid-19 test? No way - it would never have found the way to the media, unless it suits a purpose. I think there are thousands, maybe millions of undetected Covid-19 cases in Thailand. The symptoms were just not severe enough for whatever, still unknown reason. The Burmese migrants with Covid-19 antibodies just support my theory. Every chance , but also remember infection in 95% of the cases are aymptomatic , so if you have it or tested as having it means the influenza family virus is working through their hosts. Remember this approach is mandated globally and yet lockdown has not been proven or social distancing is proven, why ? The research data icoming in is that pollution is causal , inhouse generally causation in infection.

ThaidDown Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Quite a few health department officials and minibusses outside Laemthong this am together with a testing station. Queue of people waiting to be tested sort of social distancing. Estimated that around 400 people inside mall during times visited by the plonkers. Would guess around half of those would be working there so number (to me) seems of the right order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Taweesin said that the 43-year Egyptian was among a group of 30 personnel who flew into Thailand on July 8th and entered quarantine at a hotel in the eastern province of Rayong. The following day, the group left for China and returned to Thailand the same night, checking into the hotel for a one-night stay, before departing for Egypt on July 11th.

It's bad enough that they were permitted to transit through Thailand. All the hard-won gains of the lock-down, social distancing and mask-wearing can be lost with just a few lapses like this. It's bad enough that they were permitted to transit through Thailand. Is it, why? Why, oh why [sic] are you, and many others here, appearing to suggest that the Egyptian was the source and carrier of his infection? Perhaps he was fine until he went to the mall etc. and actually caught it from an infected person there, unrelated to the Egyptian Air Force?

TallGuyJohninBKK Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 (edited) From the CAAT's announcement last week, it would seem that people in the 11 groups exempt from the normal restrictions on incoming flights are NOT subject to quarantine as long as they're staying two weeks or less.... which would have applied to the Egyptians... https://forum.thaivisa.com/topic/1171914-caat’s-recommendations-for-11-exempt-types-of-travellers-planning-a-trip-to-thailand/#comments Not exactly clear which of the 11 exempt groups the Egyptian military guys would have been classed under... Could be several, such as: Quote Persons on diplomatic or consular missions or under international organisations, or representatives of foreign governments performing their duties in the Kingdom, or persons of other international agencies as permitted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs pertaining to necessity, including their spouse, parents, or children. or Quote Crew members who are required to travel into the Kingdom on a mission and have a specified date and time for return. Quote For visitors staying no more than 14 days. Undergo the COVID-19 testing using a RT-PCR laboratory technique at the airport. Download the tracking mobile phone app for COVID-19 incidents. That's it! Hope he had the Thai Chana app on his mobile phone, or he'll be in REAL trouble back in Egypt...

Now all the Hotels and Shopping Malls have to deny one by one they visited them otherwise people won't go. From what I understand there's also no quarantine Hotels in Rayong? They arrived Wednesday and tested Positive Sunday so that's 5 days did they wonder around for 5 days? Seems there's a big cover up and pass the buck Job going on. And don't forget Rayong is not far from Pattaya imagine, you are a male in your 40' as are all the others in your group of 30 people you know there is a city full of hot girls waiting you at 1 hour road trip from your location what could be wrong? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
