They have been whining since Jesus was a lad and love nothing better than to make the general populous as unhappy as they are ! I've read this whole thread and and haven't read anyone smiling and happy they diagnosed a case. It's more, I told you so. And it's amazing the amount of sarcasm going over the heads of posters.

TERMINATOR3AB Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 I have seen this virus take off like wild fire in Vic Australia after no local cases for 3 months Do not let your guards down Thailand my wifes lives in Bangkok area Was for a visitor from China at University that started it and it went crazy Very worrying times (35 in one cell ) OMG that is wrong ...so wrong no Human rights in the Police state run by Army ? However I do think Thailand has been very complacent not enough testing God knows how many carriers you have with virus no symptoms just waiting to mutate to new conditions Very scary stuff At least this was not hidden a credit to Officials being honest ( I admit I am surprised) Good Luck Thailand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would require those that form the government,the politicians,to think about something other than getting re-elected hence surely you jest!You can see this clearly when comparing Thailand and Australia where the Oz government live in fear of not being re-elected and Thailand doesn't have such worries. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheryl Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Update is here Confirmed positive. He was symptomatic. The infection was detected whiel he was still in quarantine, newly arriving inmates are quarantined for 14 days and tested (fortunately, as this would spread rapidly in prison conditions). So infection in the prison is not prime concern, rather tracing his contacts before he entered the prison. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure, but I guess he was a DJ at a big club in Nonthaburi, mand maybe a club in KSR? Under the orders, the “3 Day 2 Night” pub was closed from Sept 4 to 6 and all its workers will stay at a provincial quarantine facility for 14 days. Besides, their family members and people close to them will observe home quarantine. Visitors to the pub were advised to seek COVID-19 tests at Bangkruai Hospital if they have a fever. He was also the DJ of First Café on Khao San Road and lived at Baan Suanthon condominium in Bang Mod area. He had been in close contact with seven family members, met a lawyer, 53 inmates and two prison officials and is the second inmate found with COVID-19. The man and at-risk inmates were treated at Correctional Hospital. (TNA) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All those on this board parted from Isaan gfs please enlighten us. There is no routine testing completed in Thailand. I had a full program related physical which had many vials of blood collected for analysis on Monday. I asked the Lab tech (vampire), as well as the doctor whether they could test for Covid anti-bodies to see if I had been exposed back in January when I fell sick for a few weeks. I was told that there is no test that they can do, and the only way to have the test completed is for me to show possible symptoms, and then the test is completed at the Government Health lab that is the main repository. So in essence, one will never know here in this country. However they did do the lab test to see if I had syphilis for my DL Medical Certificate.

Popular Post JusticeGB Posted September 4, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 4, 2020 (edited) No point testing people in Thailand because it will spoil it's record of 100 covid19 virus free days. We should give that person a prison sentence for damaging Thailand's reputation. Less than 1% of Thailand's population has been tested according to the worldometers website and that includes people who have been tested more than once. I believe that Thailand has a low number of infections but not as low as reported. This guy was only tested because he was in prison. How many other untested people are infected?

brianp0803 Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 I wonder if the result of this will be the same as the other two previous people that took the Covid test because they want to work overseas and tested positive. But Thailand government reported that with further investigation they only had dead virus in the body and we’re not contagious. If it wasn’t for the testing, none of these cases would have been discovered. This does seem to support the thought that the virus is very much active here but symptoms are mild no testing unless severely ill and lifestyle(travel and contacts) suggests you are high risk.

Bkk Brian Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Still waiting for news from contact tracers, when places like New Zealand & S Korea found community transmission after long spells, more positive cases were found the following day and ongoing. This is obviously not an isolated case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
