You are so right about the testing problem in USA but this brings up a question. I think some people will have to take a flight in order to connect to the Repatriation Flight. Does the test have to be done 72 hours before first flight or repatriation flight ? 

 

I don't know directly. But common sense would suggest, the 72 hour timeframe would apply to the first international flight departing from the U.S., whatever kind of flight that might be.

Several bickering posts and etc have been removed. Time to end it. 

EXACTLY, not just this post but too many valid serious questions/comments on this forum turn into a bickering stabbing contest between keyboard warriors that think they're experts on everything! Admittedly, forums are for people to voice their opinions but there's no need for some of the immature, uninformed comments some posters have left.

 

Bring on the "grow up, waaa waaa waaa, here's your tissue, go cry to your mummy" comments.

Any citizen of any country is supposed and should be able to get back to his country of citizenship in any circumstances. Thailand must allow Thai people back in even if their passport has expired, or they are sick, or even if they are hard core violent criminals. So even if a Thai person is tested positive to the virus, the Thai authorities CAN'T refuse him/her entry to the country.

The 14 days quarantine allow to separate the sick from the healthy and make sure that no local infections will result from letting them in.

Now - non-Thais is a different story. Thailand does not HAVE to take them in and can put any restrictions they see fit. If a non Thai tests positive there is no reason to allow him/her to go on a flight and enter Thailand. 

 

So if you know Thai people are not tested and you consider that to be too risky for you - you have the choice not to take the flight.

 

It's one thing to be legally entitled to enter your home country under any circumstances. A different matter to be put on a plane with 400 other people while carrying a highly contagious airborne virus that has so far put every country on the planet in peril. It's absolutely CRAZY that this is being allowed or in the very least not prevented. Emirates makes you provide a negative test and without that or let alone a positive test you ain't getting on the plane. No matter if Emirati or not.
