Mass screening in four villages conducted in Nan after 1 infects 23 with COVID

[snoop1130]

 

An asymptomatic COVID-19 patient, who returned to his hometown in Wiang Sa District of Thailand’s northern province of Nan from a COVID-19 “dark red” zone without isolating or notifying authorities, has spread the disease to at least 23 people in his community and put more than 300 other people at risk.

 

Dr. Warinthep Chuasamran, the Nan provincial health chief, said that among the 23 people who tested positive for COVID-19 are 11 young children at a care centre in Soeng sub-district, including a four-month baby, and an 80-year old man.

 

He linked the cluster of infections to an unidentified returnee, a relative of the caretaker of the child care centre, saying that he did not report his return to local officials and stayed with a relative for about two weeks before falling sick last weekend and testing positive for COVID-19, along with his mother.

The one they caught

How many mummy's little princes come home from the dark areas and say I am not sick.....

Very worrying here in the sticks.

And this is one of the reasons why Covid is not going away.

Sitting here tonight, I can hear 'boom boom' music coming across the bay, from a 'beach bar' in the next village.

Pubs are closed and no alcohol in restaurants (supposedly).

Friends in a restaurant in another village, at lunchtime, watched the police come in and tell the owner how much it would cost for them to be allowed to sell alcohol.

Hey, life goes on.....

Such a generous sharing individual.

It's voodoo, if you can't see it it won't get you, especially if you pay the police to keep it away.

Burn some candles ,sacrifice a few smokes and a bottle of Johnny Walker and bobs your uncle.

See it every week in my village At least once or twice a week someone drives past the house to be pointed at by the wife, saying 'new! work Bangok'

 

In a small community where everybody literally knows everybody, it's very obvious. They just don't care, and the poo yai who announces the rules regularly, really has no authority to do anything.

Happened in my wife's village. Guy came home sick without telling anyone. Closed the entire village, tested everyone, and several got covid from him.

 

She said it also happened in her uncle's village. Again, a returned worker.

 

As we know, the numbers they report are vastly undercounted.

[Dont confuse me]

Do the math, if those 23 infect 23 that's 529 then in no time it could be 12, 000 plus infected!

That's the whole village all because some numb nuts couldn't be bothered to follow the guide lines/rules.

And what does that mean if it's happening all over the country? It means that we're on our way toward herd immunity doesn't it. And that's what we want isn't it?

 

So why worry about it?

happened this week in the next village. Shopkeeper and daughter get sick, so what did they do, they close the shop and then close the road through the village

No testing of potential victims, 

only the local retired doctor was checked and had to isolate for 2 days, and close his shop, while the adjoining food shop was left open with customers
