Not bad.  I am a bit surprised with the low numbers in Pattaya now.

Not to come off as playing conspiracy theorist or anything.

 

But I know of a foreigner who contracted covid and he had been with three girls after the suspected girl he contracted covid from. He notified all three of the girls and none of them were interested in getting tested, probably for the obvious reason of not wanting to go into quarantine. So I suspect there are probably quite a lot of asymptomatic people. It's difficult to imagine that you would not contract covid after an encounter with a partner who has covid. 

 

His two weeks stay in a private Hospital cost him more than $140,000b. I'm not sure if he had the choice of a field Hospital. But on that basis I would have to be pretty sick before I would be getting tested and I think there in lies the problem.

Cycle down the threshold of your PCR testing... problem solved. 

They should lock down Bangkok

That's the way they would normally handle it, but it's taken them 1 year to realize they will not be able to smoke and mirrors their way around this one.
