Outrage over latest celebrity Covid case highlights unequal healthcare coverage

[webfact]

 

By Areeya Kunawaradisai

 

Actress Natapohn ‘Taew’ Tameeruks was trending Friday after revealing via Instagram just a day after she tested positive for Covid-19, as netizens criticized her failure to comply with Covid-19 measures including self-isolation, and on the wider relationship between privilege and inequality in Thailand.

 

“You were supposed to quarantine for fourteen days, but instead you went out all the time,” wrote one user on Twitter. “It doesn’t matter if you’re a low-risk or a high-risk individual — at this point, all risks are equal. You can’t act this irresponsibly in these times.”

 

Since the pandemic broke out Natapohn has reportedly self-isolated six times after coming into contact with someone who had either tested positive for the virus or was a high-risk individual. Her sixth and latest quarantine was supposed to last from the end of June to mid-July, as news broke on June 28 that another actress whom she had recently worked with had tested positive.

This is news how, oh wait she is a superstar and a member of the Hi-So fraternity.  We all know they do not listen to what they are told to do because "Don't you know who I am" is how they start a conversation.  it is the #MeMeMeMovement, all about me and no one else.  These superstars are also being called on the carpet for not assisting those in need as well.

Is that a woman?

[edwinchester]

"Do you know who I am?"

There, that explains it.

[Mickeymaus]

Obviously there is no law enforcement.

[mtls2005]

Unless this woman is holding up real vaccine supplies, I will be directing zero outrage towards her.

 

Focus, people, focus.

 

There will be a time when we can trash Thai celebrities for their whacky antics, and driving skills.

 

All outrage on Thai social media should be directed at the regime, in hopes they somehow find a way to lead out of this mess, most of which was of their own making.

Yup. just another saggy bimbo who's only claim to fame is a list of likewise-minded numb<deleted>!

The quicker you realize this is how things work all over the world, and come to terms with it, the happier you will be

 

Much like the movie Titanic, id much rather be below having fun the locals-3rd class than in first class trying to have contest of "keeping up with the joneses"

 

Money buys goods and services, it does not impress me as those people tend to be selfish and arrogant. They tend to only care about themselves and image

 

Just like sharing my sangsom with Burmese, rather than drinking Johnny walker with hisos taking selfies trying to get likes on facebook and showing off aka big money-big face....meh

 

Id rather be poor and happy, then rich and empty inside, as it never seems to be enough for them and they chase that dragon, aka the Iphone upgrade thais

Perhaps permanent isolation is the answer.????

No - if that were the case, there would be visible breasts.

Little darling!

Here's how it works. 

Them - no rules

Us - subjugation

If you looked at pictures of this BBQ online you'll notice that all commoner serf-class workers where masked and stood well away from the 'Clean' people.  All VIP, their security, and family were free to ignore the exact rules they demand that all the commoner low-lifes follow. 

Until commoners get their fill of this, these Hi-So, Elites, and Special People will keep rubbing our collective noses into this inequity and tell us all to shut-up and mind our own business while they actively enslave us in the name of <enter and excuse here>.

This is just the Western version of Thailand and Asia.
We've seen the same here and will see more in the future.
Gathering, socializing, drinking, partying...
"Just for we and not for thee commoners."

She could eat crackers in my bed and I'd have no problems.

The general population are generally looked as as mugs, to be fair its the same in any country.

 

Sooner you accept it the better for your overall health.

Curious to know what else she might be spreading????

''I was trying to get tested for Covid at the same hospital as [Natapohn] because my mother is receiving treatments for the virus there, but my request was rejected,” wrote one Instagram user. “So does this mean that I have to be rich and famous not to get rejected?”''

 

Yes.

 

''Celebrities aren’t wrong for being able to get tested,” wrote another. “We just want to know why [normal people] have to fall into a situation where they lack easy and quick access to basic healthcare rights. Is the Thai government allowing this to happen just to cater to people’s privileges? Why are you not treating your citizens as equals?”

 

Because those in power do not regard you as their equal

Could that be because the general population also act like mugs, and in many countries especially in the 'west' keep voting for the scumbags?
