With the number of COVID-19 cases in Thailand rising on a daily basis, many people are worrying about whether they have contracted the contagious virus. In fact, even simple cold symptoms can be scary.

 

While health authorities are encouraging people at risk of catching COVID-19 to get tested, they are also trying to allay fears by providing more information on exactly who is at risk.

 

High risk vs low risk

Disease Control Department director-general Dr Opart Karnkawinpong recently said that anybody who has been within close proximity of a confirmed COVID patient should get tested immediately.

Still no acknowledgement of the elephant in the room - who wants to be tested, even if they have been in proximity to confirmed cases, and when they themselves exhibit no symptoms - if it may lead to ten days incarceration and loss of wages?

OMG, that means...you might have a cold.  DON'T GET TESTED, Go to the Hospital if you get sick.

Exactly, after seeing the concentration camps pictures for those with positive tests , who would go to the hospital to get tested? I wouldn't.

In fact  that might be exactly the reason behind those pictures and reports.

No Tests. no Cases in Thailand, and if you were to die at home, who is to say what you died from.
