Why does it take so long to test people? Other countries of a similar size are testing 500,000+ per day!

This province needs to be totally isolated foe 17 days NOW

All immigrant worker fish markets and immigrant worker dormitories and immigrant construction worker "villages" throughout Thailand need isolating now!

Make employers responsible for fair wages, proper housing quarantine and testing so that it is cheaper to employ Thais!
