COVID-19 alert in Thai parliament after senator, 2 officials found infected

[webfact]

 

All of Thailand’s senators, MPs and parliamentary officials are being subjected to COVID-19 screening, with rapid antigen test kits (ATKs), before being allowed into the parliament building, from this morning (Monday), after a senator who attended a parliamentary meeting on September 10th tested positive for the virus.

 

Senator Apichart Todilokvech, who is currently undergoing treatment, attended Senate meetings and the joint sitting of the Senate and House during that period and the vote on the constitutional amendments draft in its third and final reading.

 

Health officials, from the medical office of the Senate, screened all senators and parliamentary officials as they arrived at the parliament building this morning. Test results are not available at the time of this report.

Never said I hide in my house because I am scared now did I.  I do protect myself, my family and do it responsibly.  Just because you believe that one should hide inside all the time does not mean I do.

I see so attending a private no-holds-barred party at Thonglor is your idea of responsibly playing it safe?

Ohhh the horror, shock and shame.

The peasant affliction has breached the inner sanctum.

Lock the blighters in for 14 days, with a plastic container of food and a bottle of water each, left outside the door.

Same as the poor guy near me is getting in home isolation.

I think you have my original post as something I wanted, instead of the sarcastic nature of the written words.  You really do need to understand the sarcastic nature based upon what Parliament and Thonglor gave us as a gift in Late March or April, but then you must have forgotten.

[TooMuchTime]

Very high chance they will be fine without needing any hospital treatment. 

Sensationalist news story.

Oh another belated sarcasm alert. And the OP does not say just where and how the PM and 2 officials became infected.

[PETERTHEEATER]

Better to give them all a shot of AK74 before allowing entry.....????

[KKr]

many funny comments haha but not  much to the point.

Question is : 

How did four infected people get into the premises?

Were all prescribed protocols followed ?

Temperatures checked ?

Obviously they passed the forehead scan and were let in, but no one was checked rectally.  Wonder if their face scan temperature sensor was working.  I go to one location in a medical building and it tells me I am 39 degrees, they then wave me in and when I go to the next location it shows me at 36 2.  Go figure.

I am invariably 36.2 at all and any locations with whatever scanner is in use !

I have also read  many times that body temp is no genuine indication of an infectious state for those many who are asymptomatic . I have come to the conclusion such scanners are simply an "awareness" tool.

An awareness tool, I like that.  Yes as "I am aware they are never correct or calibrated"

In the early days many places had the hand held items dutifully pointed at customers as they entered places such as 7/11. Many were  found to be a farce when someone dismantled a inoperable one and discovered all it contained was a trigger switch, battery and LED screen that lit up with a set number of ....36.2C .Such units soon disappeared shortly after !

Yep. One can be asymptomatic for days [and still be actively contagious] without signs of infection.
