Popular Post TKDfella Posted January 28, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 28, 2020 It's idiotic to make that kind of statement about any virus outbreak...viruses don't play by our rules. Some bacteria can be symbiotic and as long as they stay in their symbiotic region there's no problem. But a virus infection is purely about reproduction and some even infect bacteria. They can mutate quickly due to the the large amount a single virus can reproduce. Antibiotics are ineffective against viruses (though of course may be useful against a bacterial secondary infection) and basically one has to wait it out for the body's immune system to overcome the infection. If the immune system is inhibited or cannot kill the virus in time, then the virus can spread to vital organs and the illness becomes serious. In this particular case, the virus passes from various animals to us which is another obstacle for adequate protection. This is all very basic info but it's enough to tell anyone that 100% control of a virus is nonsense. What the PM should be advocating is care over personal hygiene and staying away from densely populated areas etc...but of course the latter involves tourism... 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good, and when it becomes out-of-control like it has in China we will watch you step down from power... I'd like to see you make a decision in the future to possibly shut-down Bangkok or Pattaya due to the numbers of infected cases [as they've now had to do in China] and when that day comes I would gladly watch you walk away! As for the PM2.5 dust/pollution control... you haven't managed to tackle that yet !!! The Thai populous are watching you and are not impressed so far... they are worried about this and are starting to voice their fears, they don't want empty promises, fancy speeches... they demand action.

Brer Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Wonder if he claims 100% success when the virus actually hits. The way things work in Thailand they might accidentally find a cure as they usually prescribe 4 different liquid medications plus Sara and an injection for a common cold.

Lacessit Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 PM 2.5 in my condo 85 right now, so I guess he has omitted Chiang Mai from his deliberations. Coronavirus in Thailand could be under control by shutting down Chinese tourism. When the pigs in the local market start growing wings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bangkok Barry Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 I'm confused by all the fuss and panic over the coronavirus. It is so far proved to be non-fatal to nearly everyone who contracts it, and that death rate is no greater than that for 'normal' flu sufferers. Have I misunderstood something? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Creasy Posted January 28, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 28, 2020 He is so out of his depth. A guy who bought his way through the ranks to become a general and orchestrated a coup to unseat a democratically elected government. A guy who has achieved nothing on merit now thinks he can control everything, even viruses. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will end up being a real problem. What he really means, is that nothing will get done. When a man, who has spent six very long years, demonstrating an extreme degree of incompetence, and an absolute unwillingness and inability to follow through on promises made, makes a promise like this, it has to be dismissed as utter nonsense. This is an emergency situation. It needs to be dealt with, and it needs a high degree of intelligence and competence. Not something Prayuth possesses. Someone else needs to handle this, and it needs to be handled yesterday! The tourism industry is teetering on the edge of a tragic drop, and has already been devastated by this highly destructive administration. All it needs now is a spread of this virus. It could crush millions of families dependent on tourism. I already know one family that has cancelled their trip over here. Why take a chance? Who can trust the Thai authorities, and what they say? Why trust them? What have they done to earn that trust? The tourism industry will suffer everywhere as no country can control the spread of this virus at this time. Things will return to normal once there is a vaccine, medication or the outbreak stops on its own 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently causes unexplained pneumonia which can be fatal. So it's not very dangerous for people with strong immune system, but can be fatal for those with chronic illnesses or those usually less immune like children and the elderly. Now this is old news and I'm sure has changed, but a few days back there was report youngest to succumb to virus was 48. So basically this hits right into Thai Visa members' territory... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
