Locals, migrant workers queue up for tests after Covid-19 scare in Mae Sot

By The Nation

 

 

Hundreds of Thais and migrant workers queued up at the Pa Charoen Market in Tak’s Mae Sot district on Tuesday morning to be tested for Covid-19 after three Myanmar drivers, who had come to the district to pick up products, were found to be infected.

 

 

 

The scene was described as chaotic, while staff said they expected to test as many as 3,000 people who live near the border.

 

The queue of people waiting to get tested was nearly a 100-metre long, and officials were expected to shift to a community of migrant workers later in the day.

The virus would spread nicely through all those non social distancing people queuing so close together .

to contain this you need to track/trace every contact - take note westerners, this is why your country is failing its citizens..

Do they all have to pay 6500b for a test,

Wearing a mask doesn't mean anything if you don't cover your nose and mouth and socially distance. Otherwise it's "chin diapers" and blowing breath snot sneeze covid contagion. Keep us safe!

With a catering truck while you wait, how thoughtful.

Infected does not mean sick or dead. The PCR test is not designed to test for viruses! It is a waste of time and money. If you notice they are causing panic over this when they say that they tested perfectly healthy individuals and found the virus. The PCR

( Polymerase Chain Reaction ) test amplifies small samples of your own DNA. If you had any virus like the flu in the past ( and who hasn't ) you would test positive. The reason there are so many "cases" and not deaths is as a result of the inappropriate and vertually useless testing method. If you got injured at work in any western country and went to hospital you would be tested with a PCR test. If you test positive and later die of septicemia your death would be recorded as COVID and no autopsy would be carried out.

 What people have to realise and check is the number of total deaths from all hospital related deaths in the last few years and compare it to 2019-20. There were nearly 11,000 less deaths in the England and Whales in 2019 by comparison to 2018. 

They are currently in the process of cooking the books to try and show more deaths than other years in 2020 but many will check the figures with a fine tooth comb so it will not be easy for the governments of the west to justify their lockdowns and depriving people of their rights. It should also be noted that in the 1950' there was a baby boom and now all those babies are ageing 70 year olds born in a time when fast food, drugs, smoking and drinking became rife and trendy. Those people will be dying off now so there will be a natural spike and increase in deaths over the next 3 decades and increasing as the population has increased in the world. There should naturally be more deaths every year steadily increasing as with population.
