At present, 10,394 close contacts have been traced, 1,291 medical observations have been lifted, and 9,103 people are still receiving medical observations. Meanwhile the authorities as we know have the means to control who enters LOS. I imagine a few visitors is seen as "their" problem, once some HI=SO locals realize that virus doesn't respect status some belated action may occur. Apart from the tradegy of the health emergency it is probably the worst publicity possible for an economy so skewed to tourism. In the karmic wheel the only upside may be the Binturong/Schleichkatzen in my avatar and similar civets, marmots, genets , snakes and bats which may out of the restaurants and markets and back in the wild where they belong, and any foreigners tourists who are uninfected may be welcome albeit with health insurance.

The problem with this statement and his argument is that the taking of the temperature of arrivals at the airport does not account for the corona virus “incubation” period. All the new arrivals that pass the temp test may be in the incubation period and are now in the population. Cognitive Dissonance is the word. Saw the public health minister on the bus. He assured me everything is under control 1 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have stressed the fact that five of the eight have fully recovered and returned to China and the other three are being treated in good condition and urged the public to stay calm. That was a quick recovery then - if recovered why not stay longer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naturesway Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 I love this mentality “we can control the situation and very confident about it” as long as nothing happens they do think that but if anything bad happens they immediately fall aparts and clueless. Usually the intelligence people are hesitating while the fools are always very confident in everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simtemple Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Dr. Eric Feigle-Deng Harvard University UPDATE: Transmission of #coronoavirus estimated at 2.6 by another research group (lower than the 3.8 initial reports). But 2.6 is still extremely bad —each infected person will infect 2.6 others.

Xonax Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 "Based on numbers during the SARS outbreak in 2003, three months of reduced travel from China would result in 50 billion baht (£1.2 billion) of lost tourism revenue, Minister of Tourism and Sports, Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn, said." Obviously the Minister is using a different exchange rate than the banks! Does he know anything about a possible devaluation of the Baht? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post d2b2 Posted January 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 27, 2020 When you climb into bed with the Chinese Government, to be their concubine, you can't complain about catching fleas. Thailand's government has sought this "cozy" relationship with China, now the Thai people will realize who the government prioritizes over the citizens. At least the officials can rest comfortable knowing they can leave under cover in their shiny new submarines. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to other news sources XI is ordering all tourist flights out of China suspended from today. Until next month. He said flights that had already left would be monitored. I was on a flight from Chiang Mai to BK a few days ago(full of chinese coughing and sneezing) and became sick as a dog 3 days later with terrible flew. Been in bed 2 days and heaps of vitamin c and para +water and magnesium, I'm on the mend but it was sure nasty. Maybe this flight ban is why there were no Chinese in for breakfast this morning at the Indra BK. Everyone in BK is wearing masks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post spidermike007 Posted January 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 27, 2020 As well, they should be. The army deserves all the enmity, vitriol and anger the people can muster up. But, do not worry. After all, as I previously said: We are in very safe hands. After all the health minister Anuthin was formerly an engineer, and has worked in many private companies including the position of Managing Director of Sino-Thai Engineering and Construction Public Company Limited. So, as usual he was picked for his extensive level of experience, in dealing with health emergencies. The Prayuth administration. Always count on them to consider the public good above all else, to always select talent based on experience and merit, and to always do the right thing by their people. 2 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malibukid Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 3 hours ago, Kinnock said: The aim of the masks is to help prevent droplet infection from coughing/sneezing. If everyone wears one (infected and uninfected people) it will help reduce the spread (which is why China has made them compulsory in Wuhan). But you also need to wash hands after removing your mask, and wear a new one each day. The aim of all the public health measures is to reduce the Ro (average number of cases passed on per person) to less than 1.0 - as then the epidemic will end. also called the reproduction number. the virus will decline as the number of human host diminish either through immunity or death. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
