The other is a 54-year-old female teacher, who came home from the US on September 17 and also went into state quarantine in Bangkok. He tested positive on September 21.

 

Meanwhile, eight patients have recovered and been discharged from hospital.

 

The number of confirmed cases in Thailand has now increased to 3,516 (578 in state quarantine). Of these, 104 are in hospital and 3,353 have recovered and been discharged. The death toll remains unchanged at 59.

[holy cow cm]

USA is unfortunately just a hot spot. You couldn’t pay me to go have a visit back home now or in the future.

Please make a report what happen with the most falang withing 104 people beeing treated in the hospital.

1. How long they stay there ?

2. What kind of treatement they have ?

 

No country in western obligate someone to be in hospital if you are infected unless you get sick. Instead you must quarantine yourself at home.

This could scam the insurance with unnecessary cost and big money.

Many people have had it by now and many are asymptomatic.   Wish they would spend more time on why some people are immune, instead of the number that tests positive

Asymptomatic isn't defined as immune.

Still infected and can pass it on just as easy..

I guess if you are in Thailand you will do what they want, I do not think they care what virus infected countries are doing.

What ever happened to that DJ?

 

Did they ever trace how he contracted it, or did it get forgotten as too hard?

That sounds like something the US Embassy would conduct in order to trace back to the US for any further infections and testing. Sadly not happening it seems.

Are we splitting hairs?   ????

Abstract

The clinical features and immune responses of asymptomatic individuals infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) have not been well described.

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-020-0965-6

There is an immune response to the virus which results in an asymptomatic

state.

No country in western obligate someone to be in hospital if you are infected unless you get sick. Instead you must quarantine yourself at home.

This could scam the insurance with unnecessary cost and big money.

And that is why it is under control as opposed to the west.

All of his contacts turned up negative. They did hundreds of tests.  They did not identify the source.

Reckon so, going by the wording: 'returning', 'home', and not mentioning Thai. Had they not been Thai, the Nation would be all over 'foreigner'.
