MOVE Forward leader Pita Limjaroenrat was admitted to hospital for influenza today (Aug. 2) but has been informed of Pheu Thai Party’s decision to withdraw from the eight-party coalition and dump his party, Sanook.com said.

 

Mr. Chaitawat Tulathon, Move Forward’s secretary-general, said Pita is in good spirits but the flu has led to him losing his voice thus he briefed him of the outcome with the meeting with Pheu Thai Party at Thai Summit building via online chat.

 

Pita did not express any opinion about Pheu Thai’s decision but said Move Forward could not ask Pheu Thai for anything and is ready to work fully in any role.

Three day ago a Thai friend got wet in a 10 minute downpour, next day they had a runny nose, nothing more.

They went to the hospital, spent the day/night in with a drip.

Released the next day.

 

Rumour is it was only a fit of laughter that gave him a bad throat.

I got caught in a lite drizzle at the park, with the dog yesterday.   Didn't get the flu, and wasn't wearing a mask.

 

Somehow, that didn't make the news.

Pathetic, good job he's not PM, bloody wimp.

The situation you described is very common. It's a massive issue here, clogging  up hospitals with people who don't need to be there .

 

With respect, objectively there is deeply embedded hypochondria in much of the population, add in covid , has only exacerbated that. 

Good Spirits hey ,,,, that should kill the bugs and he be out in no time .

He just had the common cold; a flu is serious, and you don't get the cold or flu because you have been in the rain that is an old wife's tale.

Influenza A is a type of virus that causes influenza (the flu), a highly contagious respiratory illness. If you get it, you will need to rest at home and avoid infecting others.

Pita had COVID a bit more than a month back... which supposedly was his third go-round with the big "C" :

I know that, yet the hospital took the opportunity to keep him in, on a drip overnight and relieve him of 5,000 baht for the room and board.
