ThailandRyan Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 "ATKs would be handed out in packed communities and markets and at service centers namely hospitals, sub-district hospitals, clinics and pharmacies in red zones. Service centers will distribute ATKs via the Paotang app. Recipients will get two ATKs each for use five days apart." Will they also be delivered to each condo or complex for use, or will folks have to que up to receive them, just a question. Crowded service centers sounds like a super spreader event. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cake Monster Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Well, I guess thats 4.25 Million people that will self test. However, how many of those will report their results, whether they are Negative or Positive will remain to be seen. Smoke screen WIP. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogmatix Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 These are the kits that don't work. So no need to distribute them. Just pocket the commission. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
