Sydebolle Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Lets wait for the dealers on lower Sukhumvit and Patpong then to sell little flasks with "anti-covid" potions for those remaining 6% of dogs which get it wrong then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you can't stick a swab up the nose of someone in bed? That's what I was wondering: if a handler with a dog can get to the bedside, why not a technician with a swab? This seems like a strange use-case for sniffer dogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never thought of that. They are not protecting the public from me potentially infecting them. They are protecting me from being infected by them. Why then only the two week quarantine. Perhaps we should suggest they quarantine all tourists for the duration of their visa? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When i was working, there was a check with sniffer dogs for drugs. Guess what, the dog identified my tool bag as having drugs in it. Wrong, first i was laughing, but some later didnt feel happy. I was being watched by my colleges as suspicious, marked by the dog. Though i was 57 or so at t at that time, ok also a 57 yo can use drugs. Maybe another college used my bag to stash? I dont know. It was an awkward situation for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
