And if caught you will be fined for violating the CDC regulations unfortunately.

thailand ryan, fined for what reason, I have no symptoms or reason to be tested, im just saying I would rather wait in my home if I did

I completely understand and agree,, but if you think you have Covid you could be fined for not disclosing it.

Private hospitals that are still doing testing hold up the positive results for a few days.  Then call the patient with the bad news and tell them they will send an ambulance as soon as they have an available bed.  They bet on patients either being better or dead by the time they tell they have a bed, so they don't have to deal with them.  This based on a real case in Bangkok.

Today, the elderly gent that died contracted covid from his grandson who was visiting for Songkran. This is is not the first time this has happened in LoS and a good reason why isolation away from family is important. Asymptomatics can still transmit the virus, though to a lesser degree than those with symptoms. Most of the poorer Thai families could not isolate the ill easily - many share the same bedrooms and they have poor knowledge of hygeine practices.

Breaking News:

 

"Rotting corpse found in condo", news at 6. 

I'm in the "stay at home" camp, so I've already made arrangements for food/water/etc.  Also, that I check in with someone daily (Line).  No plans to be the rotting corpse.
