The 14 cases update was already 2 days ago. Yes they choose to no longer make the number public. Wonder why... Great decision in a situaiton where information is vital to stop the virus. Wait for the worlds reaction on this. It will not be good and also people will panic, when they are finally forced to release their numbers.

Most generals who ascent to civilian power hang up their uniforms. If nothing else, the optics are bad. It makes one wonder if the old adage is true, "if it walks like a duck, quacks like and duck and looks like aa duck....then it might just be a duck". well HE's allowed to and to wear a gun, shoot you and ask you questions later... ... missed his flu shot though?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great decision in a situaiton where information is vital to stop the virus. Is there an announcement saying this? If so, it is really bad. I expected them simply to start lying and undercounting the totals. But if things are so bad they're afraid to even mention a number, then that is scary.

I was thinking more on the lines of the cost factor and strain on health services and lost work hours if it really takes hold. Percentage of dead to infected will be only a statstic used in the aftermath. One infected in a family of 6 means 6 having to be checked/monitored as a minimum.

Gweiloman Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Why are some of you so worried about the figures? What does it matter whether it’s 14 or 140? Would it make you change your behaviour? If so, then just assume the worst (which you all seem to do anyway) and act accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selatan Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 For me, only local infections mattered. All the figures coming out from China do not matter. I'm more interested in how my country, Malaysia, is going to deal with a local epidemic of this disease. Likewise, those living in Thailand right now should worry about Thailand's readiness in dealing with any eventual local spreading of this disease. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toany Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 100 % in control of the PM2.5 pollution?? He allows for 50% of the sugar cane crop to be burnt. How can that be in Control? With AQI over 200 in Bangkok and much of the rest of the country. Control? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khunpa Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 As long as they can keep up with the demand of extra hospital beds for "Patients under Investigation" it should be under control. Once they run out of extra beds and staff, then there might be an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcnx Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Thailand is a never ending flood of some of the dumbest people on earth saying the dumbest things imaginable. You couldn’t create a satire cartoon and invent characters that could be bigger imbeciles than the people in power here. It’s astonishing how ignorant they are. I dare you to try, you wouldn’t be able to do it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
