There’s a second wave in some places in China. Qingdao city is lowdown and 11 millions are being tested. A place in Guangzhou has a new outbreak and is under lockdown with ongoing testing. Perhaps more cities will be lockdown soon since millions of Chinese just returned home from their annual fall festivities holiday.

In an attempt to allay fears he said "there was nothing to worry about" and "there are not many of them".

 

The airport could handle thousands more, he intimated 

 

Among the measures in place are special testing areas where PCR (polymerase chain reaction) tests can be performed on the new arrivals. 

 

These have an accuracy of 95% and results are available in two hours, he said. 

It only takes one to restart what you work so hard to protect the country from.

No mention of the quarantine requirements for them I notice. It will be interesting to see how that turns out.

While there is genuine need to reopen tourism, I have little faith in the ability here to do so, and keep covid out.

Now waiting for a TAT announcement tourism is finally saved in Thailand

They will be eating, smoking, and drinking beer all at the same time, in my experience.

13 cases in qingdao, most associated with the chest hospital treating imported cases.  2 cases are dock workers that allegedly handled contaminated packaging.  1 case in guangzhou, a worker at a quarantine hotel.

 

2nd wave?   barely a ripple.

 

holiday was oct 1-8.  most returned ten days ago.  if there were going to be an actual outbreak/2nd wave we should have seen it by now.

Pretty much the same here 

If we compare the current situation in China Vs Europe it makes sense to invite Chinese citizens first. 

 

Atm here in Europe we're having approximately 140,000 new cases each day. 

 

That beeing said it's not a complete disaster here, and many countries are still open as usual, but with some restrictions. 

Death rates are way lower now compared to the beginning. 

Numbers are rising, but there are a lot more tested now. 

Most countries can keep up with beds for those needing one. 

So it's no so critical that some posters tend to point out. 

 

But until the numbers drop a lot, I can see why Thailand might choose Chinese over Europeans. 

 

I just hope the Thais will be as welcoming as they normally are, when borders are open again.

Indonesia is the same, truth be told.  I think that they are more quiet about it because they are not really proud of it unlike some Chinese that I've seen.  

Oh god the snorting sounds they make.  ????
