Yes time to balance the books with a couple of unexplained cases now here lets have 7 imported ones today ????

7 found positive at time of test does not actually equal just 7 positives.

And you could have been on the plane with them! Why dont returning Thais have to have a cv19 certificate before flight..... oh, thats right, only foreigners have covid

[GregBow]

Shows the value at least of quarantine as a detection point rather than infecting the general populace.

Maybe some value in this.

I have been locked in Vietnam since Tet Holiday (January) and we are just going through a second wave here - mainly from reopening from first restrictions too fast - try to get local tourism pushing and illegal refugees border hopping.

Vaccine may be our only chance of semi normality (6m ?)

I should be interested in knowing if these seven were/are asymptomatic.

[Bender Rodriguez]

imagine how many FARANGS that did all the test, the infected on/during the flight

[Mr Meeseeks]

You can just imagine how desperate they were to find any foreigners positive to fit with the new jackboot fascist narrative.
