Great photo cop standing there with a bloody BIG gun, if that does not frighten tourists away nothing will. Have to have the photo of the Cop with the bloody BIG Gun The Thai public need to know where all the Money is going. It sure as hell has not been spent on Health care or vaccines. Reports such as this have a way of making it onto the BBC Online News app, and sometimes are carried forward onto the Mainline News. If the report was highlighted in the UK, it would be good for the plight of those stuck in the Camps if nothing else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My family all had it the next week when I returned, this was before the world was scared. Nasty lingering cough was about the worst of it. Good news that you were all ok. How easy was it to get tested at that time? I was in Thailand then and it didn't seem a big issue other than in China. I visited the Thai Chinese Cultural Centre in Udon Thani in early February and there were signs outside saying " Stay Strong Wuhan" but there were no masks then.

Rampant Rabbit Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 you dont seem to grasp that the CURRENT situation with populations being equal THAI -UK that the UK even with WAY more daily cases has WAY fewer deaths DUE no doubt to vaccination. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On quick check, Deaths in UK = 129,000 Deaths in Thailand = 3,000 Are you just Thai bashing or is there something I can't see here? Since April 1st this year the UK 7-day average death rate has only ever been above 37 for the last week. 90% of Thai deaths have occurred since 1st April - 3340. UK figure since 1st April - 1982 Source: https://ourworldindata.org/coronavirus-data?country=GBR~THA Don't cloud the present with year old data.

A few of my personal business acquaintances were infected and one of them succumbed to it unfortunately. Relatively young at early 50s. Physically fit. That's what bothers me.

Tropposurfer Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Ah local pedant speaking: “bigging” is not a word! It’s made up, ignorance derived, tense confused, made up nonsense. Please can we refrain from writing and posting American b……disation of the English language. As for the article the death rate recent past and current in Thailand is, per capita, a drop in the ocean compared to the UKs numbers. Hmm … me thinks of the Biblical quotation about glass houses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People starving in the streets and homeless, is that what you want, the economy flat lining. I think the Thai government are going over the top more so hospitalising every one tested positive locking every thing down. It’s been proved in the western world lockdowns don’t work, there is just another spike when they open up again. Thailand has fallen short on ordering vaccine thinking the worst was over only to be started again by their own hi so people and allowing Songhran to go ahead. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshfrank1 Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 I'm 100% sure I had Covid in January 2020, we had at least 400 Chinese any given day at our resort in Phuket. Since then I have had extreme pain in my feet and hands, which is one of the symptoms of "Long Covid" I had my first jab of AZ 29th June, no adverse side-affects, however, since the jab, the pain in my hands and feet has disappeared. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the problem, I've had several family/friends catch it all with different results. Some with bad cold/flu symptoms a few ended up in ICU for a few days, one passing away aged 51. There's no set pattern or indeed outcome some people are lucky others not so. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dutchweller Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 (edited) Yes and I think Thailands decleared infection rate is still on the low side. I have 3 Thai freinds who have had or are recovering from it. First of all all 3 found it extremely hard to get tested for it all the hospitals were turing people away as some policy that gov made regarding if its a positive test then they must admit them. Hospitals do not want COVID patients admitted!!! One freind went to 9 hospitals and clinics before she was able to get tested at her own expense. And she Turned out positive. She was then FORCED to pay upfront 100,000 bhat for a HOTEL room and was locked in 24/7 for 16 days and no medical staff to assist. They also took away her wifi and TV about 4 days in so "she would not be upset by news" so total isolated excepther mobilephone and eventually we got her a laptop in!!! We have been feeding her and keeping a 24 hour group chat with her between a group of freinds. Make NO MISSTAKE you are ON YOUR OWN if you fall ill with COVID they don't want you to be sick and push numbers up. They have NO ASSISTANCE if you are sick!!
