Just put it to rest, before you dig yourself deeper in the hole or show that you have better credentials and experience as well as education than this doctor in the news.

What sort of University educated virology expert can't count the days on a calendar and then blasts the fact over the news?Who else can't count the days on a calendar?Here's a shovel! My credentials are 30 years in surveying where counting and double checking are of vital importance.

Zithromax is quite good for the ones you might catch.

Or do you use a fishing rod?

that does not work on viruses.

This all seems very 'convenient' to me. I can now safely predict that the next time a farang goes through a 21 day quarantine and found to have covid later, they will suddenly announce some 'expert' saying the incubation period should be 24 days and the 28 and then 32, anything to blame foreigners rather than admit they had it rife and hiding the real figures and non-testing

I guess you didn't know that the incubation period is 14d? Explains why you are so impressed by his observation.

BANGKOK, Sept 12 (TNA) – A veteran virologist confirmed that the incubation period of the coronavirus disease 2019 in most cases is within 14 days after exposure.

Prof Dr Yong Poovorawan, chief of the Center of Excellence in Clinical Virology at Chulalongkorn University,

And yet Anutin gets the WHO seat in Asia...?

As a medical expert, which would you say is more likely, the 30 day incubation period, or picking up the infection after he left quarantine? ????️????️????️ 

I would say both are unlikely but obviously one of the two must be the case.

It is not exact. It varies.

 

The average incubation period is 7-8 days. About 95% of the time it is less than 14 days. Longer intervals do occur. As do unusually short ones.

Thank you. I ment not more than 14d. 

 

And noting of that is new.

What´s wrong with you. It´s has been clearly stated, not only in Thailand and the Thai news, on international level that incubation period is normally 14 days. Approximately 1 out of 100 deviate from that norm and can be up to 30 days or more. That´s exactly what this virologist, other professionals and this piece of news is saying. What is so hard to get?

Did you reflect over that Sheryl also wrote "that longer intervals do occur"??? That means it can be more than 14 days. Really???

When the 38 hour week was brought in for workers in NSW they decided to let everyone accrue there time and take a Rostered Day Off every four weeks it was then decided everyone could have the first Monday off every month and everyone was happy except me so I phone the union rep and explained there are 12 months in a year but there are 13 four week periods a year.After that phone call the The RDO was taken every four weeks and people got an extra day off and were happy.

Alyx, to Earth, please confirm. What in the world has an expert in archeology to do with this? Really? Not even worth discussing.

Sound like he is about as qualified to comment on any subject at hand as most of us then ????.

 

He is clearly digging around for the right answer.

He might be a specialist. But whenever he tells the public something about Covid, it is biased and it is filtered knowledge, it is said in a way to support the juntas false narratives of dangerous foreigners, said to support xenophobia and the closure of the country, and to create panic and enhance paranoia. Never his posts are balanced in any way. Never sensible.

 

Therefore, his behaviour is unethical and the opposite of how a good scientist should act. Never he cares about the hardship of the Thais who suffer economically, or those who even commit suicide out of desperation. 

 

Therefore I agree to another poster: This guy is a muppet!

 

It seems that some (some!) expats living in Thailand too long already are so much socialised here to this Thai culture of blindfolding, that they became unable to recognize this anymore, and also lack the opportunity to listen to really appreciated specialists in the rest of the world.

He seems to be on a special payroll of the junta. That's why he is the one who was selected to "inform" the public with his biased views.

Irrelevant babbling! Just face it. Generally incubation period is 5-9 days and normally not over 14, but can in unusual cases be longer. How long, nobody knows. That´s already a fact. Why are you trying to close your eyes to reality?

Ever thought about that it might be you that do not understand. ???? Or maybe you are just one of those on this forum that needs to complain on something Thai.

[cyril sneer]

Isn’t it a coincidence that 14 days is exactly 2 weeks

No my friend, wrong!

 

I very likely have some more university degrees than you, and know better how a scientist should think and act. And no, I don't need to complain on something Thai. I only need to complain on this disgusting propaganda machinery of the junta, and this muppet Yong too obviously is part of it. 

 

I would appreciate to hear something on this topic from the hundreds others honest and honorable Thai scientists and virologists, who are not given a voice in the biased Thai media.

 

No problem for me if you continue to believe the narratives made by the junta, though. 

 

[SunsetT]

Im very wary of 'experts'; especially Thai experts who might well have purchased their appointment as, and/or qualifications to become,  a so-called 'expert'.

"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."

 

See what the good Doctor said he imported the virus from Uzbekistan 28 days before being tested positive no other recorded case shows a 28 day incubation period.He was tested negative in Uzbekistan.Can't you see I'm not talking about unusual cases but something that hasn't been recorded before it's not unusual it would be unique if it were true.Here's another quote.

 

 

"Yong Poovorawan, a virology expert from Bangkok’s Chulalongkorn University, said the virus incubation period in the man would have been longer than 14 days and it was unlikely to have been domestically transmitted."

 

“I believe he was infected abroad,” Yong said.

 

"Why are you trying to close your eyes to reality?" He would rather believe in something that hasn't been recorded as occurring before rather than believe that that the footballer was infected in Thailand since his arrival.I believe he was infected in Thailand.The reality of this situation may never be revealed no matter how wide open my eyes are to it.

Ok fact In 1918 the Spanish flu Pandemic infected 500 million people. 50 Million died Covid 19 roughly 28 million infected 800 thousand plus died The world population in 19 18 was much smaller than it was now Just stating facts

The only thing you get out of that, is thinking with the wrong part of your body.

 

This virologist still knows more than you.

Now you change the discussion to that you believe he was infected in Thailand. Yeah, sure, it´s a possibility. It´s also 1 chance in about 100 that he had a longer incubation period. You tried to deny that before, as something that did not exist. Now you realized that it does, and must turn the conversation.

just another Thai hater who is bitter that his 'well educated sophisticated nation' has dropped the ball so miserably in the biggest health crisis in decades and still is consistently making a terrible situation worse by their ineptitude..
