So one guy has the flu, no bug deal, everywhere I go people wear masks, it won't be spread 

Everywhere I go about 50% if you're lucky wear masks.

A case in point,

Wednesday I was asked by a teacher if I could provide some extra teaching material for some of her students, she said we could all meet and talk about it over dinner.

She turned up in her car after school, she plus the 3 students sitting in the back seat, no masks.

I got in [with my mask on] we arrived at the restaurant, no scan-in, no record to sign, no hand gel.
Sat at the table, not one person wearing a mask in the whole place, no social distancing, staff not wearing any protection.

Girl takes the order, no mask while talking to us, service soon arrives with food in hand, no masks.

Boss walks over to talk to us as the teacher is a regular customer and I was the only foreigner in the place, no mask.

It won't spread you say.... maybe where you are it won't.

Does Thailand publish daily deaths rates for this year compared to previous years?

 

Very worrying so many prisoners to one cell what about prison staff  was this one of the prisons opened up for tourism?

Has there been a second or confirming test?

 

If it's negative, are fasle-positives an issue for testing here.

 

 

Yes according to this story.

You can't just have only 1 case.. 2 is the minimum 

You can actually have one case if you are the first one infected from an animal as has been suggested happened with this virus or if you include animals then there would have been one case where the virus mutated to become Sars Cov 2 and would have been only 1 case.

Do you mean Thailand or the whole planet or just Bangkok as the prisoner contracted the virus from an unknown source at an unknown time and could be anywhere by now.

it had to come out in the end ,the govt propaganda has been endless ,people commenting are not happy or joyous about this but its patently obvious that zero testing is the reason zero cases have been found,hopefully the virus at this time is the one thats not so bad its mutated so wont cause so many problems.its a fact that govt here allowed the chinese in here long after everyone else said no,it was CPP gov stopped it not this gov,they then sacked millions and they went home in crowded conditions.hence spread it to the villages up country.theres a reservoir of infection,i and several others have mentioned this before many times,we are not einsteins but this is an obvious pattern of infection.s korea taiwan hk etc have all had outbreaks but they test so.....test morons or dont we want the truth?u wont you look so self important anymore,this is so typical of thai culture always judge the book by its cover not what it contains,its all about image IE BS,deal with the problem not your ego

FYI Taiwan doesn't test much either. Their numbers are fraudulent too. I have been following their situation closely as I try to get back home.

Highly likely that it swept through prisons long time ago. Perfect breeding ground. They could test for antibodies, but ... "too expensive". Better buy a few more submarines.

Haven't heard anything from my Thai mate in prison about it. But letters are censored before they are sent out, so who knows what the truth is. Can't get there to visit personally, though he is also afraid that guards listen in to conversations too. He has twice had severe TB inside so I have been afraid what would happen to him if the virus got inside the prison walls.

Some guys who asked "how long we have to use masks?" The answer is here.

What worries me is the health authorities don’t seem to be worried about where he got it from but only who he may have given it to. This is the same as the Malaysian guy. Where did he get it from? Thailand is naive to think there is no corvid. Maybe there is actually an asymptote strain here. So strange.

They seem rather piqued (get your dictionary out again Kadilo) that Thailand has been virus free for 100 days , they just cannot believe it .

I don't think it's been claimed that Thailand has been virus free but rather no local transmissions have been detected or reported which is slightly different.With Thailand being 154th in the world for testing per capita that's not surprising.

I'm sure they are worried it's just that a story hasn't been published about it yet.

Very sad news for Thailand and all of you who want to "escape" LOS. Keep the border closed with Cambodia - we do not want any infected persons from Thailand here in Cambodia. Our latest Covid figures:-

 

Cambodia

Total cases  274

Recovered   266

Deaths 0

this report is not entirely accurate. We've heard today that there has been an isolated case in the North east of Chiang Mai Province. Schools in the district have been notified of this and directed to strictly adhere to mask wearing by students, teachers etc and all other preventative measures viz. use of hand gel, temperature checking etc. until further notice.

Well now is the time to either make the right moves or experience what is to come as Europe is now finding out.

Well they are having a fair amount of cases in Europe now, but hospitalizations and deaths are still low. If it stays like this, that would be acceptable. America's situation is different; the problems with it's health care and social system have finally been exposed for the world to see.

The 37-year-old prisoner was jailed on drug charges and shared a cellroom with 34 other inmates, officials said in an urgent news conference. He is said to have worked as a DJ in popular nightlife areas, including Khaosan Road, and up to 34 people are considered to be at high risk of contracting the virus from him. 

I would say this is an interesting story and see what will happen ...

 

they should have test all 35 cell mates right now and in 7/14/21 days

 

in our home countries, jails are like all-in hotels with 1-2 in a cell, costing 10.000 baht a night

It's pretty difficult to have a single isolated case,more like they have detected a single case and now will try and find where it came from.Which is like chasing farts in the wind.

Unfortunately, this was inevitable to occur.  New Zealand, one of the most isolated nations ended up getting it again.  Thailand surrounded by several borders.  

COVID19 is here to stay permanently just like the various strains of influenza, and now various strains of COVID19.  It will never disappear.  

Countries can achieve zero cases and bring a country to its knees, ruining its economy over and over and over with open, shut, open, shut, lockdowns and borders. 

It gets to a point where governments need to realise this invisible virus is impossible to eradicate forever.  

People have been wound up into a severe frenzy of hyper-fear, mostly the media to blame.  

The cracks are emerging.  The worst recessions in a century and only to get worse if this zero infection rate goal is kept forever.  I hate COVID19 and yes it is more dangerous than usual influenza, but how long can shutdowns keep going for?

Most of those who seem happy with this news and love to doom and gloom of a Covid-19 positive test are Poms . They have been whining since Jesus was a lad and love nothing better than to make the general populous as unhappy as they are !

Evidence for the above assertion? I believe people who relish this news are people who dont live in Thailand especially Australians who are unable to leave
