Thailand finds second coronavirus infection after long absence

[tso310]

Just to point out he would have done his ASQ at the Amari Buriram which is next door to the stadium. Todays and next weeks fixtures have been cancelled.

And if he did catch it from the plane non-tested Thai occupants, it would not have happened while in Thailand so classified as catching it "overseas".

Classifying it as anything doesn't alter the outcome.

Like Dr Yong said it's taken a long time to incubate.

Thai health authorities on Friday confirmed another coronavirus infection had been detected in the country ...

 

The man was positive after a mandatory pre-match test on Tuesday, despite having completed quarantine on Aug 27 after three prior negative tests,

That’s just bad journalism!

 

The guy is not “infected” - he just has one rtPCR test (out of 4) with positive results ... that’s not the same ! 

To be classified as infected, he would have to show symptoms and the test results have to confirmed by a doctor’s diagnosis.

 

Maybe, the writer should inform himself at first, what specifity of a PCR test means and what the resulting effects on “false positives” are.

More and more domestic cases is the only chance for Thailand to return back to normality.

“I believe he was infected by a broad,” Yong said.

You just have to believe this is true, probably in Nana, or Cowboy, maybe even Patpong, but not from one of NCC's brood no way.

Sorry to say but he is infected and is being cared for by medical staff, even if he is only asymptomatic.  G strain, and now the football season may be in jeopardy.

It would seem that Thailand's premier virologist disagrees that many cases are asymptomatic stating that they are rare and less than 1% of cases!Is he wrong?

If he actually said that then indeed wrong.

 

But I would never assume anyone said something exactly as it appeared in the press.

 

He might have been referring to how  rare it was for someone to possibly be positive from a prior infection some 3 weeks or more  later and that would be correct. Not unknown or impossible, but rare and 1% would be about right.

[Polaky]

If they did more testing on the vast population you would probably find a lot more infections, this virus cannot be omitted by isolation, it is everywhere, perhaps it is because thai's are more resilient to it and don't know they actually have it, it cannot be controlled, it is too clever, it wants to multiply, some people succumb to a bee sting, with the majority it has no effect, with the minority it has drastic consequences.

mmmmmhhh, why not make it a month quarantine ? good for everyone ?

[TooBigToFit]

I watched the video but it didn't give me any confidence. At the same time, all the masks and stuff seems a bit over the top too. I don't believe in any grand conspiracy though. Thailand is hardly protecting itself even with the mask use. My hospital is always way too packed when I visit and they stopped with the sign in and even the temperature check at the door the last time I visited. Meanwhile, 7Eleven and Big C still want to check temperatures. BigC and Lotus still have people signing in. Most just walk past the sign in.

 

These days what is the truth with this or with anything. Those leading us are lying straight out in many cases and are literally built on forced lies like Thailand's regime calling itself democratic. Still, no grand world-wide conspiracy in my view. Just a lot of pathetic leaders who came into power around the same time. What a joke it is to hear WHO appointing Anutin Charnvirakul as chair of the regional committee for Southeast Asia. Are the other countries so screwed up that this jerk is the best choice? Anyways, what an age this is. Disturbing. Confusing. Sad.

Could be a way for them to up the quarantine to a month and make more money from the dirty foreigners that Thailand dosnt want it dosnt need. I pity the people of thailand you actually believe everything

 

[Sumarianson]

Did everyone who got the flu get headlines or did I miss something? Now there are stupid screens everywhere in my condo talking about the latest coronavirus as it is not the first or worst we have had. Automatic testing in 7. They want this stipidity to carry on!!!! Why??? CONTROL!!!!

It doesn't say anything that suggests it's not the footballer does it?So the match has been cancelled then because all his team mates will be in quarantine now possibly for 28 days?Also the contacts of 70 will also be going into quarantine?

Maybe the negative results were inaccurate.

Dr Yong Poovorawan, a virologist at Chulalongkorn University, said it was likely the player imported the infection from Uzbekistan. “We were quite lucky to catch this [rare symptomless] infection, which occurs in less than one per cent of cases,” he said.

 

He also confirmed that the 14-day quarantine was enough to detect the virus.

 

The footballer arrived in Thailand on the 13th Aug,tested negative before flying so probably tested on 9-10th Aug,tested positive on 8th Sep so that's 28-29 days that beats the longest known incubation period of 27 days by 1-2 days so that to me doesn't sound like he "likely" imported it from overseas that's one case in over 28.5 million cases that has an incubation period this long,and then he confirms that 14 days is long enough to detect the virus.He calls it luck that they caught this 1 in 28.5 million case which is considerably less than 1% of cases.When the case of one patient that apparently incubated for 27 days was discovered it made international headlines so it will be interesting to see what the reaction to this case is.

[hioctane]

Yes, they discovered the dirty secret! ????‍♂️

 

Everything is based on averages. There is nothing concrete that says infection is “guaranteed” in x amount of time. The average incubation period is about 5-7 days. That means it can be 1 or 15. That average is still 5-7.  Medical experts say quarantine for 14 days to err on the side of caution. 

[Cali farong]

With this new revelation I think quarantine tourists for minimum of 6 months and test every week and insert a gps tracking device under skin and then let them have a good time.   But only in Phuket

[The Theory]

One month quarantine will be the solution. ???? ????

[garyk]

I just read Three from Thailand tested positive when arriving in Japan.

[Sumarianson]

Close the pubs, stop alcohol sales, close the malls, rush to buy toilet roll, everybody will need them now were all scared #@€&£=!. 

I was in a restaurant 2 weeks ago and a Thai guy came in to eat, he had a constant cough and seemd quite embarrased by it. All the staff and customers were looking at him very badly, almost venomously. All because of a cough. This plandemic has not changed anyone, has it?

All transmissions are indoors.

 

They need to shut down all bars and clubs.  Its the only way to stay Covid-19 zero cases...........shut them down and ban alcohol again.

 

That will sort it out.  I mean.......zero cases is a must for the country.  It is the only way to survive according to some.  ????

How is it 3 Thai's just traveled to Japan and tested positive with Covid?

 

How did they get out of Suvarnabhumi airport with Covid?

 

 

 

Did they get covid on arrival in Japan - in essence when were they tested?

 

Secondly, how long was their trip to Thailand?

But he was in quarantine for 14 days. He would have been positive sometime during that period, and had at least 2 tests. 

 

It was either :

 

1) two flawed tests

2) he left quarantine and was actively around the city 

3) he caught it during quarantine with someone at the hotel

#2 not possible as Thais don't have it.  It's only the dirty foreigners bringing it in.  They are to blame.  /s

He might have sneaked out of quarantine and gone to Khao San Road and played decks with a criminal DJ.
