Popular Post trainman34014 Posted February 16, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 16, 2021 They keep carping on about the numbers of infected going down every day but i think this African Version is a lot more worrying and is likely to spread quicker. How many people were on the Flight(s) these people took, including Crew and where are they all now ? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClambeachJ Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 So much for visiting my son. Think I am definitely staying in California. Are you folks sure they are not requiring any returning Thai nationals to fly without being tested first like we have to do. That sounds crazy.

cpillow Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 And they will keep seeing it as long as Thai do not need a covid test to fly back, also infecting all other passengers in their way. You cannot cure stupid. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thais don’t have to test before getting on a plane home. Foreigners do, then they have to sit on a plane with infected Thais. It’s a great system. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are quite right to point this out nearly all on that plane got infected as this virus spreads much quicker, Thailand will have to wake up if this takes hold then its lock-down for a long time 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabas Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Here is an interesting and readable article about why, how, if viruses evolve to less virulent or transmissible forms. From Smithsonian. A few forces can drive a virus one way or the other, but they are not a given. There is no automatic rule. Right now SARS-2 is taking care of itself. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/will-coronavirus-evolve-be-less-deadly-180976288/ They also note the early, much more transmissible 614G strain was poo-pooed by many experts, only to become a gold standard fact. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Asian countries won't release any info either because they don't want any stigma attached to them, or, in the case of Thailand, also have no medical or scientific capacity to detect and analyze anything. So, all the new strains will be from outside Asia. Hopefully someone finds that strange. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeffr2 Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 (edited) Thailand seems to be doing very well with the virus. Much to the dismay of the Thai bashers. Current rank is 15th. Use to be in the top 5. The United States is 134th.
