Greghuntleyuk Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 I am trying to get back to Thailand for work committments and my childrens studies. All our friends in Bangkok have left. If the unimagiable happened and we contracted the virus, what would happen to our children ? I am hearing mixed reports that if you catch the virus you are taken straight to hospital, others say if you have mild conditions you stay at the hotel. But what would happen to my children during this quarantine period if the unimaginable did happen? Seems quite daunting and scary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bender Rodriguez Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 how old are they and do they have a "mother" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greghuntleyuk Posted September 4, 2020 Author Share Posted September 4, 2020 They indeed have a mother. Mother will be travelling with us. So if we both get the virus, and we have to go to hospital - what's the protocol ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowtail Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 You have to test before you get on a plane and twice in quarantine. If you're carful for ten days prior to the flight, the odds any of you end up positive is pretty remote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furthermore if you take a repatriation flight, you are going to be on board with Thai's who haven't been tested. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your children are young, they will be put into quarantine (at the hospital if necessary) with you. Although they will probably become infected, this is considered preferable to removing young children from their parents. In the unlikely event that both of you end up in ICU, I do not know what would happen. What would happen if you were involved in a traffic accident on the way home from ASQ and both ended up in hospital? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzzzz Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 (edited) Is there NOBODY in Thailand, (wife's family ) that could take care of them for a few weeks? or are you both Farangs? Are they old enough to order room service? put them in a hotel not to sound uncaring but What would happen if you both were killed in a traffic accident? if you have kids, you need a plan B, C Edited September 5, 2020 by zzzzz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowtail Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 If one of you gets infected after your pre-flight test, you will likely all be infected by the time you finish the ASQ and will all have to go to the hospital together. Why not contact your ASQ provider and ask them directly? If flying was that bad, all the flight crews would have it and that is just not the case. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Sheryl Posted September 5, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 5, 2020 I am not clear. Will the children be travelling with you? If so they will be in quarantine with you. It is extremely unlikely both you and your wife would test positive but the children negative. Invest in some good quality N95 masks for the flight and use throughout, also hand sanitizer especially when using the onboard facilities. These measures will substantially reduce th risk of getting infected on the flight. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowtail Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 I will add that the repatriation flight I was on was empty. LAX to HKG was about 60% full and HKG to BKK was only about 20% full. Everyone on the flight was compelled to wear mask and the staff were cleaning the heads constantly. I was in the US from the end of April until mid August. I flew from Bangkok to Taipei to Los Angeles to Fort Worth, to Orlando, to Atlanta to Los Angeles to Fort Worth again to Los Angeles again to Hong Kong and back to Bangkok. Spent a week in FL a week in GA, two weeks in TX and a week in Mexico tuna fishing on a boat with thirty other guys. I went to two birthday parties and any number of informal gettogethers. I did not get it. Having been through the ASQ, I think it highly unlikely you would get it there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
