Well done?

Not testing when people are sick, and charging for tests.

How does that make people feel better.

 

Isn't it actually that they are only testing when someone is obviously sick?

No, they are not routinely testing sick people, unless you want to insist and pay.
They do test repeatedly on quarantine, accepted.

There have been many reports on tv of people sick and no healthservice reaction to test.

Especially in the first few months when testing was not even available in many provinces.

From some reports at the time they did not want you to even go to hospital if you may have covid. They were scared stiff.

Doesnt anybody remember the first few months and paranoia?

That is why I feel so strongly against the WHO statements. The situation here IMHO is nothing to do with a health infrastructure.

There have even been some recent reports on TV of people say they think they have the virus and no testing mandated..

I  read a lot of the covid posts and I am not going to do a spanish inquisition for people who say prove it. Believe what you want.

If people give BS reports on TV then I cant understand why they would do.
I have friends who were sick similar symptoms, must be flu or just not well. Go home, take some tablets, rest and get better. 
There may be other reasons why Thailand is fortunate, but I dont agree that its the public health infrastructure.

Hi Suzanne, I did a quote response to you in my post above, but it did not seem to register as such.
This response is simply so that you get notified.
