snoop1130 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin took an unexpected backseat today, delegating his duties to deputies and abandoning plans for a high-profile dinner due to a bout of flu. The notorious influenza A, aka H1N1, has struck the 61 year old PM. Arriving at the Government House this morning, PM Srettha revealed that he is awaiting his doctor’s verdict on whether sick leave is needed. Concerns over spreading the virus to his close associates weighed heavily on the Bangkok-born prime minister’s mind. Deputy Finance Minister Krisada Chinavicharana was thrust into the spotlight, presiding over the prestigious 2024 Outstanding State Enterprises Award ceremony at the Santi Maitri Building. Simultaneously, Deputy Prime Minister Somsak Thepsutin stepped into the PM’s shoes, extending a warm welcome to youths and executives under the Belia Thai Sejiwa Sehati project at the same venue later in the day, reported The Nation. Harking back to the infamous H1N1 outbreak of 2009, the World Health Organisation’s highest Phase 6 pandemic alert was a chilling reminder of widespread community transmission. Thankfully, the pandemic declared its exit in August 2010, but it seems the virus is back.
