Anyone know the alcohol percentage they are spraying? Less than 70%, it's useless.

I'm sure this will have been done on professional advice from a Thai university.

In the area of several high risk houses where people were quarantining the authorities decided to drop alcohol on them using a drone.

Fortunately they are not allowed yet to use napalm

Helicopter money, drone alcohol.

finally we are in heaven

And this will be halted during Buddha Days surely.

Nothing but a publicity stunt. Medically it’s right up there with drinking bleach 

Yup, remember when Trump said inject it, he was a genius as well.

Alcohol replaced by holy water

I see they are not being used to spray construction workers camps!!

The virus is airborne.  A vast majority get the virus from air droplets, not from surfaces.

WHO Finally Admits Coronavirus Is Airborne. It’s Too Late

So why are we told to wear masks then? Normal cloth masks are at best only capable of stopping droplets and not even very good at that. If it is airborne the virus will go straight through. Hold a normal cloth mask up towards a lamp and you can see right through the small holes in it. Virus are tiny. Much smaller than germs.

 

Wearing masks was always political. It's greatest feature is to comfort the uninformed that feels protected by a mask. You breath in and out of the gaps on the sides of the mask and around the nose, and next to no filtering is done.

Sure there's bonus given to the officials who come up with the most ludicrous ideas.

Whoever made the plebs believe that the virus is circulating in the air is an evil genius.

Methinks ‘‘twas an alcohol fuelled idea.

This stunt is in line with the boats on the Chao Phraya trying to ease the flood conditions!

Would seem to be as effective as removing a cup of water in the deep end of the swimming pool to raise the water level in the shallow end of the pool. 

 

If Covid is so pervasive that even breathing the air can transmit it, then all this social distancing is for naught.  

It seems to be a desperate attempt to show they are "doing something" to the public when they can't truly come up with effective measures to stem the spread of Covid. 
 

 

 

In the group photo read, Covid the final solution

Those alcohol drones are definitely the step needed to get in the club:

Food is great , people are very nice, weather is amazing, But,

Intelligence was never their strong suit, and from the looks it,

It never will be.

I think they are smart enough to know that they must spray 70% alcohol from the drone to have a good efficacy, COVID will be eradicated from the spayed area and they will all finally be safe  ????

What's about the famous sniffer dogs they were talking about.

They could sniff a bit around HI-SO properties.

Yes, of course it would be seen as a joke by this forum for Thailand to use sniffer dogs.

In other countries it was big news yesterday and viewed as a significant resource against the disease.

 

Claire Guest, Chief Scientific Officer at charity Medical Detection Dogs, which trained the animals, said the results were "further evidence that dogs are one of the most reliable biosensors for detecting the odour of human disease".

every day here is like a monty python sketch 

 

 

Just take a long hard look (closeup) of the crew involved in this lunacy, anyone like to estimate the collective IQ total between them all

 

I wonder what the budget was for this.

there is nothing wrong with using sniffer dogs in very selective situations like airports etc but it offers little on a national level unless they have thousands of them

As usual, off at a tangent, every approach gets ridiculed irrespective of the context.

If people do not like what is on the stage, there is always another theatre.

Alex.  I'll take Waste, Fraud, and Abuse for $100.

Show me the science behind spraying alcohol in open air subject to UV light? 

Occam's Razor.  Why?  Alcohol sales are down.  Monopolies must be economically cared for with government resources.
Hence: spray alcohol into the air outdoors. 

You can't make this nonsense up.

Spaying Agent Orange would be a plus.

Are you absolutely sure you mean spayed? If so, it's a novel idea for population control. It might be as effective as Covid!

They have hundred of thousand of stray dogs everywhere in Thailand

it's time to finally make them usefull and start to training them to it

 

They could even launch an ambitious national plan and affect 1 mototaxi to each dog as a caretaker with a small salary:

some money for the motosai guy, some food for the dog, friendship for both

and an useful task for all the Thai society, turning a permanent public threat 

in an help to detect and fight the virus

Airborne over a short distance inside a house. But definitely not out in the open air, where the virus will be diluted and harmless!

They tested it, the virus can spread over a distance of 6 metres ! Also the virus lives on metals or other smooth surfaces longer. As the virus is in spit of people, i would suggest everybody stops talking for a month. ???? 

I predict this one is going to run to 10 pages+ of alcohol-related jokes.

 

But on a slightly more serious note ... what possible use could this be? unless they flying in and out of open house windows any aerosol sprayed from that thing would dissipate long before it got close to a C-19 virus, more likely to kill, stun or intoxicate a few small birds or larger insects.

 

plus ... hasn't guidance steered away from the benefits of surface cleaning? surface transmission now thought to be responsible for tiny fraction of infections and several immunologists refer to surface-cleaning as 'Covid Theatre'
