He didn't have COVID, what treatment do you think he should have had?

And how much do you think he should have paid for the treatment he didn't need?

100,000bht, 200,000bht?

we were trying to establish whether he knew he tested positive or not :

Actually there is some doubt about him leaving and knowing he tested positive.

In Thailand anything is possible, my wife once tested negative for pregnancy, then had a baby.

in another thread you asked for an official source confirming asymptomatic infected COVID carriers could infect others, and this 2 years into the pandemic and you actively posting on forums...

 

my advice would be to troll less and to read more.

I'm fairly sure if you don't have any symptoms, and don't have COVID, then you can't spread the disease.

I also wonder if he could take the Thai test center to court for defamation.

Maybe even fraud, or criminal negligence.

Everyone blaming the infected , what about crying about the Chinese who started it ,  it can’t be stopped and if you are all so scared lock yourself in home in your bubble

As anyone who is fully vaccinated with the magic juice can do the same should they be given hard punishment too?

Did any of these fully vaccinated people test positive, break out of the quarantine facility they were in and then go on the run through multiple areas?

 

Unless they did the comparison is not valid.

Do you mean blaming the soup-brained who won't get vaccinated, then sure ????

Because getting vaccinated stops you getting it and spreading it , you think .  Why the vaccinated worry about the unvaccinated,   Who are the soup-brained

BTW ... I think they closed most of the field hospitals a while ago, as not needing.  

They are needed. They ae full. Call them what you want. Let's settle for 'quarantine wards' or 'quarantine hospitals'. The ones in Chonburi are busy and getting busier.

The field hospitals are different things , different to regular hospitals .

   Different buildings in different locations , which are probably closed

Initially it was believed they could but further research is questioning that

He is an arrogant, self centred spreader of disease who deserves severe punishment. Given the amount of Arabs and Iranians in the prison system he could be in for a hard time. His behavior is not unusual. Most expats who catch covid do not cooperate with the Thai authorities because they believe they are superior to Thais.

"Most expats who catch covid do not cooperate with the Thai authorities because they believe they are superior to Thais."

 

I think that is rubbish, but it would be intersting to know where you got your "facts" from - an outburst by Anutin perhaps?

[Exilerunner]

The man is an idiot I agree. However, the quarantine Hotel system is still a cash cow. It would be way better, to be able to isolate at home or at any hotel of your choice.

It doesn't stop it 100%, and literally no one said that. However, the evidence shows that being vaccinated does reduce your ability to spread it, and reduces the possibilities of serious illness and long term problems.  So year, I stand by my statement 100% - cos facts don't care about your feels ????

Most expats? Really? I presume that you have sufficient evidence to back up your rant. 

I have only read of two such incidents featuring non-Thais

I am hoping for a nice hospital bill and 1-2 months in Thai prison. That should do it.

That would be close to the mark.

So let's get this straight.   Guy from the most vaccinated country in the world (and probably at least triple jabbed) had a negative test before leaving Israel, then arrived in BKK and had another test which turned up positive.    He then had another 2 further tests in Koh Samui, both of which are negative.   A report in a newspaper not allowed to be linked here states that the medical authorities STILL believe he has Covid despite the 3 out of 4 negative tests.

 

Something is definitely wrong here.   Stupid to leave the quarantine hotel but if as it turns out he is not infected then we have the equivalent of a wrongly convicted person escaping jail, getting the original conviction overturned, then having to go back to jail for the crime of escaping the jail he should never have been sent to in the first place.  

 

What is clear from this is that the tests cannot be trusted - the Israeli obviously didn't trust the test was accurate and neither do the medics on Samui who doubt the accuracy of the additional 2 that were taken.  Anyone who gets a positive should be immediately retested as the punishment for a false positive is to be sent to a hospital full of people who do actually have covid.  

[Nickelbeer]

Amazing.  Covid 19 sufferers now being treated like criminals. Not surprised that it was an Israeli. Cambodia is rife with anti-semites.

wrong analogy - in the crime story, the person knows about being innocent, in this case, there was a first positive test

The tests clearly cannot be trusted as demonstrated in this case.   The hotels have proven in the past they cannot be trusted and have been scamming tourists.   The person would have had to test negative before they left Israel and presumably felt perfectly healthy and did not trust either the test or the hotel so I don't think it is so black and white that he knew he was guilty, I'd suggest he thought the opposite hence the escape to go and get another test (there are other reports that is what he did).   

 

Its good that you trust the test, the hotels and the authorities here though.  Just be careful out there as some may take advantage of that!

Just like the 2 cruise ships that are full of ONLY vaccinated people ,passengers and crew , which both now have COVID outbreak of over 50 people
