Popular Post Mung Posted August 30, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 30, 2020 We really need to instil in these people the fear of their driving and their roads, to the same extent that they fear this virus. It is quite remarkable 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The knowledge that the shutting out tourists is not an effective measure and the Tourism Economy is being killed for no reason. Maybe the virus swept through Thailand in Nov, Dec, Jan and Feb and the majority of the population have been exposed to Covid-19. Without either PCR testing or Antibody testing these are answers we cannot know. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It says that only 6% of the people who died of Covid-19 had no other underlying condition. That's radically different from saying that the other 94% did not die of Covid-19. The Gateway Pundit takes the CDC's actual findings and distorts them into something completely different. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gateway Pundit takes the CDC's actual findings and distorts them into something completely different. It's not just underlying conditions: it's comorbidity. Underlying conditions are only one type of comorbidity. Most of the comorbidity in Covid deaths are from Pneumonia... which is DIRECTLY CAUSED by Covid 19. People absolutely have no idea what these stats means. Let's say someone has a car crash, then bleeds out to death. The death certificate will list something like: cardiac arrest, caused by external hemorrhage, caused by trauma from car crash. Makes sense, right? People arguing that only 6% have died from Covid are basically arguing that this person shouldn't be listed as a victim of a car crash because that's the cardiac arrest that killed him. It's just utterly stupid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fact checking websites also have their agendas. Agree with you. There are videos around stating that fact checking websites are on the payroll to disapprove anything to do with Covid that does not fit the narrative. Try searching google for anything negative as a starter. More or less the same headlines fill most of the pages. Very easy to manipulate when you are the ones in charge.

mfd101 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Noting the low rate of testing, it does appear nevertheless that Thailand has a low rate of infection with the CV. There may have been quite a few more related deaths amongst the rural poor, marked as 'pneumonia', and there have been 1 or 2 reports of an increase in pneumonia deaths since late last year. But overall the evidence for a massive infection/death rate is not there - no overwhelmed hospitals (at least no more than usual) ... The real question is: Why & how has Thailand come through relatively unscathed? It would be hard to credit the Thai government with good policies and effective implementation for just about anything you can think of, let alone a worldwide pandemic. Perhaps climate? (warmth vs colder countries - I note for instance that the maps of French CV infection always show far more infections inland in the east & centre than on the Atlantic coast). Cultural? (relative social distancing vs Western hugging'n kissing, noting that apart from old people's homes in the West the evidence points to most transmission taking place within the family) ... Poverty here is different from poverty in Western countries - more open-air, more physical exercise ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
