April 15 was 2 weeks ago...if they contracted the virus, they would have passed through it by now or become symptomatic and treated at home or if serious, already sought medical attention.

I was thinking the other day about these minivans, I saw an add on FB looking for passengers wanting to go to BKK from Phuket I know the guys want to earn money but I think that should be stopped, 

Sitting in a van with 10 strangers for how many hours............?

I suppose that would be true if your calendar has only 4 days per week.

AFAIK the capacity of the vans has been reduced to 6.

These morons only care about money so I doubt even if instructed would spend 5 minutes between customers wiping down with a disinfectant & would also never worry about a 5 pax limit
