Popular Post webfact Posted January 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 27, 2020 Thailand’s PM assures coronavirus situation is “100% under control” Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha has assured the public that the novel coronavirus situation in Thailand is “100% under control” and that he will personally take charge of overseeing the operations of all related agencies to deal with the virus, as well as the PM2.5 dust pollution. Despite the success, he said that there was no room for carelessness or complacency, as he urged members of the public to take care of their health and cooperate fully with the authorities in preventing or containing the spread of the virus, noting that the disease is preventable if close contact with those thought to be infected is avoided. In a nation-wide address, broadcast via the Thai TV Pool, the Prime Minister said that Thailand is fully-equipped to cope with novel coronavirus, citing the recent rating by Johns Hopkins, which put Thailand 6th out of 195 countries for having effective early warning and preventive systems to cope with an outbreak of a communicable disease. He disclosed that the Public Health Ministry has already upgraded its readiness, in line with the situation, and has mobilized all resources available to be posted at various locations, including air and sea ports and border crossings, to screen tourist arrivals, especially those from China.

Popular Post daveAustin Posted January 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 27, 2020 Not a fan of that translation. While of course new, it's hardly novel. Though indeed it'd be extremely novel if a certain section of the senate managed to acquire it. 4 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post TopDeadSenter Posted January 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 27, 2020 Well that does it for me. Today will go into full on panic mode and stock up on boxes of canned food, rice, new giant cooking gas and a few gerrycans of petrol. Maybe some cartons of cigarettes too, to use as currency when it all goes pear shaped. 8 1 3 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post colinneil Posted January 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 27, 2020 Time to be worried folk, if Prayut says it is 100% under control, once again his is bul++iting. Why does he make stupid comments like that, as he knows like everybody else it is not under control. 19 1 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Wiggy Posted January 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 27, 2020 Maybe he could share with us and all world leaders how Thailand has it “100% under control.” That way the problem will disappear immediately.

Popular Post unamazedloso Posted January 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 27, 2020 He has never lied. Pollution is under control, Road accidents is under control, corruption, etc. Best government ever. The world should learn from his examples and maybe we can stop this virus today with a song? 4 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post zydeco Posted January 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 27, 2020 (edited) I think what he meant was "the number of infected that we are reporting is 100 percent under our control." It's now official, virus numbers in Thailand will have just about as much legitimacy as those from TAT. And, now, just two minutes later, I see just how right I was and have come back to add this little gem: Edited January 28, 2020 by zydeco 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
