British Variant May Have Arrived from Cambodia

[webfact]

 

BANGKOK, April 9 (TNA) - A renowned virologist assumed the British variant of COVID-19 in Thailand might come from Cambodia where the strain had spread.

 

Prof Dr Yong Poovorawan, head of the Center of Excellence in Clinical Virology at Chulalongkorn University, wrote on his Facebook page that the British variant known as B.1.1.7 had spread widely in Cambodia since Feb 20 and on March 19 about 1,500 people had the variant in Cambodia.

Wait, there are infections in Cambodia.  I was told there were minimal cases there, and even one member here on TV who lives there indicated it was under control and there had never been a true outbreak.  Maybe I am being facetious, but why lay the blame on anyone country.  The fact is it is here and needs to be dealt with.  They worry to much about where something came from instead of getting ahead of the issue and stopping mass travel which will just assist in the spread of the virus.  I wish everyone a safe Songkran, drive carefully, and keep social distancing and sanitizing.

 

Today there are being reported 559 new cases of Covid.  Just watching the news now.

Or with the VIP general brothers from Myanmar maybe?

Yes, a friend from siem reap wrote to me, that virus is spreading and she is afraid to go to work at pharmacy, because symptomatics are coming for selfmedicarion. 

all thai borders are pourus. Millions of migrant workers are mooving in all directions all the time. 
the superspreader is krystal club in thonglor, so they were employing khmer prostitutes or orher staff. 
so many government officials were regulars there, thai this place it's called the government 2.  Indeed, the transport minister don't want to reveal, where he was on 27-28.3. Earlier on he lied that he was in buriram, that turned out untrue

Okay, that makes sense.

[Bkk Brian]

Ok doc so thats sorted, now lets concentrate on dealing with it, do the same as one of your colleagues and publicly warn the generals is completely out of control. At least you've covered your back then.

Surely not? That barbed wire fencing installed by the army will keep any type of disease out.

Ah, but remember all the shouting that China should pay for all the economic damage around the World? People are just like that. Something bad happens. Instead of dealing with it, they try to find someone else to blame. Especially those that were supposed to prevent it - they'll divert responsibility to anyone who has little or no chance of defending their innocence. Problem doesn't go away, but at least now it's someone else's fault.

To clarify: only first sentence is about China. The rest is about Cambodia as per opening post.

[PatOngo]

Wherever it came from, it's a mutation of the filthy virus that originated in CHINA!

All CoV-SARS-2, COVID-19, virus strains derive from the one Wuwan original. 100.0%. That's how genetics works and why certain nations should not be playing around with this stuff in their brand new BSL-4 labs.

Never forget MCOT is working for China International broadcasting also never forget how much the Chinese cried racism when anyone called it the China or Wuhan virus.

 

Also Britain has just condemned the Chinese genocide... 

 

It's not hard to see what is going on when you put the pieces together.

Not to worry. Sinovac has an efficacy rate of just over 50% for 2 doses, and 3% (yes),  for the first dose only.

Maybe Astra Zeneca will save Thailand. Europe might shortly start donating, we have plenty of supply and no demand in the EU.

Yes.  Happens all the time.  Human smuggling.  Same thing caused our last wave.

I blame the "humans" that ate the bats then spread the filthy, devastating virus! The originators MUST be held accountable!

That still doesn't explain how it got into Thailand... unless it follows a similar pattern of how Myanmarese workers managed to cross the border and make their way to Samut Sakhon area undetected?

Sorry to be blunt but....WHO CARES???

 

I mean really who cares? Covid in all its forms is in Thailand as it is the rest of the world.

 

Thailand as usual concentrates more on blame etc than reaction to the problem

 

I don't recall all this questioning when Covid first came out...guess what? Bet it came from China....Who Cares?

 

Who is to say the UK Covid is not just covid as a mutated teenager & all countries will see it or already do?

 

What will happen when the raging adult version/mutation of covid rears its head?

You know it likely will as they say this virus mutates quickly & perhaps is a reaction to who knows what

 

Point is stop all the stupid fake investigations & instead do what you should have been doing all year...

Prepping!

China did not welcome WHO officials nor were the officials satisfied with the data given.  The Wu-Han flu was in existence for months before China admitted it.

[Sametboy2019]

Hopefully there is not many more waves. Only two more bordering countries to blame.

Not that CHINA (or more precisely, the manipulative, fork-tongued CCP) would ever admit it.

Even blind Freddy knew that. The sooner the west stops believing the lying, propaganda spreading, face saving Chinese, the better! Emperor for Life Xi Jinping will stop at nothing to rule the world!

Latest Covid-19 Wave in Thailand Is Related to Cambodia Strain

By Subhabhong Rarueysong

 

   

BANGKOK (NNT) - The strain of Covid-19 found in Thailand among visitors to entertainment venues in Bangkok has the spike pattern that matches perfectly with the Cambodia strain.

 

Chulalongkorn University virology specialist Dr Yong Poovorawan said on Saturday that the latest strain does not match 100 per cent with the British or other strains, but displays a 100 per cent match with the Cambodia strain.

 

The Cambodia strain had been found spreading in Cambodia about six weeks before it was detected in Thailand. From this data, it is conclusive that the latest wave at entertainment venues is related to the Cambodia strain of the virus.

 

He said it was unlikely that the strain had been brought in by people coming via official channels because everybody is tested and quarantined for 14 days, but it could be from migrant workers or Thais sneaking across the border who may have been carriers of this strain, which is 1.7 times more infectious.
