Popular Post Antonymous Posted August 20, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 20, 2020 Precisely how I expected the Govt to use this. Next step, when protests escalate: declare meetings in groups over 5 people illegal for their own protection against WuFlu and for the safety of others. 6 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holy cow cm Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Oh no, here it comes again. Realistically they are all probably more in danger from him and his regime rather than this CV19 crying wolf scenario. That picture of him says a thousand non said words with that smirk. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtls2005 Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 So has the long 100-ish day run of no local transmissions been halted? I don't think so. I thought that they found a way to rationalize these two cases as foreign originated? I'm sure he's also hectoring pro-government protesters as well, right?

The Barmbeker Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Wait, wait, wait! How is this even possible, with 3 months of no domestic COVID- case, excellent testing (according to some) and a stellar tracing system in all shops and malls? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Locally infected" is just a convenient assumption for which there is no evidence. Not only that, it is also rather unlikely if you look at the specifics here. As a returnee it is possible his infection was not detected, tested false negative (that does happen) OR he could be among the 1% where incubation is longer than 14 days. Those are two potential scenarios much more likely than local infection. If there were local infections many more people would show up sick, than just this returnee.

mark131v Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 That's an absolutely cracking photo of Pinocchio 'The Prime Minister’s warning coincides with increased anti-government sentiment among students, which has spread like wildfire across the country and into many educational institutions, including high schools' What a nice man to show such concern that must be why the little green men are there in order to keep a check on their welfare... *sarcasm alert for the hard of thinking* 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sydebolle Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Maybe the elitarian oligarchs should be less ignorantly arrogant and enjoy a trip on the BTS during rush hour. Makes these demonstrations, from a health point of view, a walk in the park. Quite obviously some higher ups are trying to threaten, scare and rattle the cage - if I would be him or any of his cronies I would be very scared of those demonstrations too - less though from a health point of view ????

Best shut down the mass transit system then, just to be really safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
