So with over 3 million cases and over 75,000 new cases yesterday why would you even consider allowing them into Thailand to spread the virus.

Caught in the spin cycle of news reporting.

Must either have a Thai wife, be attached to the Indian Embassy in some way, or be here for a medical procedure or is a caregiver for the elderly Indian who tested positive just the other day.  All speculation on my part of course.  The reporting lacks in general, and it probably be best if they included more or just kept the dirty foreigner Idea alive in the minds of the Thai's who listen to those like Anutin.

From above table, 2395 infections per million & 44 deaths per million, both of which are negligible.

 

On the same website, China did 90 million tests to detect 85000 infections, whereas US  & India did 78mill & 38 mill tests and found 3.3 mill & 2.3  mill infections... Stats are just numbers, one has to take into cognizance the authenticity and relativity of those numbers.

Now thoroughly dried out and smelling good will be a comfort ????

It's boggling to me that this highly contagious virus seems to have bypassed Thailand. I'm sure there is some science that can explain this phenomena, all things considered. Could be something as basic as climate or complex as innate Asian immunity to this virus.

it is very simple - you do not taste, you do not see infections.

the virus is real, the pandemic is not.

even if 20,000 thais died from the virus, it does not have to make a big noise

if the government does not want to make the noise.

 

but in the christian countries, they like to control all things and feel like they help the poor

and sick. so the governments there offer big money to hospitals doctors ext., hence

give them the motivation to find more and more  infected and categorise each and every death as corona victim.

Vietnam went 100 days without. And now?

[don43451]

So what's the chance that this was just a false positive?  Are they testing twice or three times if they need a tie-breaker? None of these tests are 100% accurate.

[AndrewMciver]

Mind bogglingly stupid to allow Indians to enter at this period. They simply are not testing the population to get a realistic case load, but what little testing they are doing is showing the virus is rife out of control. 

 

This is where Thailand will slip up. 

[SCOTT FITZGERSLD]

what worries me more than the virus is how thailand brainwash the media

with the subtext of : ONLY FOREIGNER CARRY = AND SPREAD - THE VIRUS.

Every day there is another farand who is found POSITIVE...but strangely enough

no thai...or at least not on the news. this chauvinist ultra national attitude

might explode on us all one day
