ThailandRyan Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 47 minutes ago, Venom said: Is it possible that Thailand's numbers are so low due to lack of testing? Seems the highest percentage of covid cases are now asymptomatic or only producing very mild flu like symptom so perhaps these people are not going to hospital or paying for expensive covid testing????? You hit the nail squarely on the head. No mass testing and no one really goes to a hospital here unless really ill. Now Prayut wants to arrest and charge those who are sick and do not go to get tested or go to a hospital. How many asymptomatics will be lining the jails soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many asymptomatics will be lining the jails soon. If there were masses of asymptomatic people, there would also be masses of very sick people. Current research suggest about 20% are asymptomatic. That would mean 80% aren't, and many of these would end up in the hospital, where they would be tested. We're not seeing masses of people in the hospitals.

Fairynuff Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Right so that would be the illegal migrants coming to work for low pay in Thai owned businesses? Who’d be doing those jobs if they weren’t here? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A typical TVF disillusioned farang remark. How do you know the numbers are low? You have made what is called a logical fallacy. 'If the government says the numbers are low, then they must have done a great job keeping them low' We can see how ridiculous this logic is when we think about it. Well, unless we are the types who disbelieve and distrust our own governments (which are far more transparent) but somehow believe and trust governments in totally underdeveloped countries like Thailand.

I very much agree. Prayuth is a small Trump - or vice-versa! Trump is claiming that the recent election was a fraud, and voting by mail was insecure. Now, wasn't it up to him and his administration to make the elections 100 % water proof over the 4 years he was in charge? Well, we all know they were, but the easiest way to talk yourself out of responsability is to blame others - same as Prayuth is doing now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a predictably Xenophobic and racist statement coming from this Government. Do not blame these people from Myanmar, or any other Country for the present outbreak of Covid in Thailand. The blame sits firmly at the Door of this Government, and every other Government previously. Illegal Migration has been condoned, and to a certain extent encouraged so that the Business Community get their Grubby Mitts on cheap Labour that can be exploited for Profits and pure Greed. The Immigrant Labour are only trying to feed their Families, and work in Thailand often under the pressure of Low Wages, Poor Working Conditions, and Living Quarters that are not fit for Animals. If it was not for the Traffikers and the demand from the Business Sector, these People would not even be here, and now to lock them away under the " Singapore Model " is nothing short of Inhumane. The " Singapore Model " is to Lock these people in their Rooms ? Dormitories. We are not talking 5 Star Hotels here, but maybe a 3 x 3 M Tin Shed sleeping 6 with little or no ventilation or Light. The EU have it right to Target these practices in Thailand. Its Modern Day Slavery. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Purdey Posted December 23, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 23, 2020 As usual, it's the foreigners.

MaxYakov Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 (edited) There seems to be a problem amongst the commenters in distinguishing 'immigration' from 'migration'. The OP is clear on this terminology in the very first sentence. Immigration is a legal , government-controlled process. Here is the only use of the word 'immigration' in the OP: 'At least a dozen infected Thai nationals are also known to have returned from Myanmar in the last month without passing through immigration or undergoing quarantine.' Also, the title uses the term: 'illegal migration', not 'illegal immigration'. Edited December 23, 2020 by MaxYakov 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
