Or is he the same Indian man in Phi Phi? Just saying.

[ukrules]

How many days into the quarantine period is he? Why no more details?

 

When will 10 day quarantines begin? ????

[don43451]

Did you notice that all of the reported cases had no symptoms?  That leads me to believe that they either had very recently contracted the disease (possibly on the flight to BKK) and were not yet showing symptoms, they are one of the millions of people that are just asymptomatic, or it was a false positive test result.

Well, the case in Krabi is an Indian and he is a domestic case. He lives in Thailand and has not been anywhere. So where did he catch the virus and who from?

The newspapers or the government are being very frugal with the details.

[Oldie]

Very strange - people arrive from high risk countries and even have Corona. Must be fake news. There can't be any other explanation. We all know that so far only 33 Chinese arrived.

The linked article seems to clearly indicate that they are 2 different cases.

[Tchooptip]

He was admitted to a private hospital. No other choice, private hospital. 

Three years ago I had a tachycardia in the middle of the night, to be on the safe side I went to the nearest private hospital, in Samui at 6 a.m. everything was back to normal, but they kept me in ICU until four in the afternoon, as there is no permanent cardiologist, but only two days a week coming from Bangkok, I returned to consult him a few days later. He read the report, and exclaimed but why they kept you in ICU for the day? In the morning everything was perfect they should have let you go home, the only goal was to take 40,000 baht from you, I swear he said that, adding, I don't like the way they work here, I wanted to give you an ultrasound of the heart, so I'll see what it looks like but I won't mention it and so you won't pay for it as a compensation has he added smiling. By the way he said after but you have a heart of a young man. So some private hospital thank you, I know some other private hospitals where the prices are at least  "honest" for us Westerners but not all of them I did not mention any name because who knows with the laws in this country,

As far as I know there are 4 private hospitals in Samui ant a country's hospital in Nathon but the oldies in Samui will easily guess the name of the over-expensive one ????

The Phuket News article says...

Quote

According to Thai media, which quoted Dr Supoj Pookaoluan, director of Krabi Hospital, the man arrived in Thailand three months ago and has since been unable to return home.

Keep the fearmongering going !!!

 

Every single case needs to be highlighted .... just like any case dying from eating Som Tum should be all over the media !!!

Does he even show symptoms ???

No the Indian guy has been in Thailand for a while, but it is more interesting or worrying how he became infected

[Sheryl]

The Dutch man was in ASQ when he tested positive, he arrived here on the 1st.

 

The Indian man had been here for 3 months and was asymptomatic, tested positive on a routine test for a work permit. However in BP today there is some confusing mention of a third test being negative. So situation still rather unclear,

Its also interesting that non of his contacts were placed into some kind of Self Isolation or ASQ

Apparently he was here for 3 Months, and was sharing a dwelling with people that worked in a Restaurant, yet there were only 11 contacts 

I find it difficult to believe he only made contact with 11 people in total after 3 Months here. 3 of them were sharing the dwelling with him

Forgive me Sheryl, but I thought that all ASQ were located in BKK, so how does this gentleman test positive in Phuket

[Autonuaq]

think this articles below explains a lot.

They would not be investigating all contacts in the last 3 months only in the past 14 days...and only fairly close contacts at that

 

Apparently all so far have tested negative and there is also a confusing report in BP that his third test came back negative (after 2 were positive).  SO still some doubt as to whether he has active virus  or not.

They are on the list but as far as I’m aware only Bkk was being used as they couldn’t figure out how to get people from Bkk to samui etc without risking other people . How would they get someone to samui from Bkk ? They going to drive them all the way there or give them a flight all to themselves?
