So tested positive on day 13 and yet was Covid certificate free before boarding the plane. You have to wonder where he picked it up, in the airport, onboard the plane, or in his room?  This is starting to become ridiculous with all of those testing positive on Day 13, and just being asymptomatic.   Ad to it those that are now found positive again after having had the virus previously.  Could those tests be false positives based upon the antibodies, or just how are they coming down with the virus again in such a short time.  Covid is starting to sound like an allergy to me, it just never goes away and returns when the wind blows.

I would have to agree. Why are so many testing positive in quarantine after a negative result was given prior to flying.

I would also like to know what percentage of quarantine patients are testing positive. Today, seven from how many?

Not surprising really, is it ?

Foreigners have to have all the paperwork and testing, before the flights , yet Thais only get tested on arrival

So you have a plane load of mixed people, with or without tests, with no separation, and they wonder why they find these infections arriving .

500 die on the roads, hundreds die from suicides, plus many hundreds of other deaths, each week, yet they hype up a few infection cases, the majority of which the people did not even know they had this so called deadly disease,!

From everything I have been reading, the PCR test picks up a lot of dead genetic material and renders a false positive and should not be relied upon.  Here's an ex Pfizer guy speaking about it.

The numbers are slowly creeping up to reflect reality.
