The stories been changing, they say it originated at a Wuhan seafood market. What about Wuhan being a center for the Chinese military biological warfare center and this virus being accidently released into the environment! If you want to know the truth the information is on the internet. i have 150 meters of tinfoil to sell you... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Thai government is doing as required and as any other government would do in this case. Khun Prayut Chan O Cha is working closely with the relevant departments to ensure the spread is contained. Khun Prayut Chan O Cha has addressed those concerned and obviously this government is reacting and taking appropriate steps to control the spread of this virus. Lets hope it becomes safe to travel very soon. I see: the court- jester is at it again! 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember, China and Thailand frequently proclaim that they are "brothers." Want to guess who isn't a brother? It is very easy to redirect things on to foreigners, in particular, you know who. It's not like it hasn't been done before. If you were here in 2014, you will know about the foreign "advisers" and their "influence." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

URMySunshine Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Authorities seem to prioritize "don't panic" messages, as if fear of this flu is irrational. But fear of a risk that cannot be assessed with any confidence is entirely rational. The smart strategy is to lay low and wait for more evidence on the nature of the risk.

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... I saw one report in the past day or two saying the youngest fatality inn China was a guy in his mid 30s.... But that's not been common, thus far.

The people, well bar girls, who I spoke to yesterday know exactly where this virus originated. They even covered their mouths and noses whenever a Chinese person walked past. The government has a lot of work to do to turn the public perception on its head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgeCross Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 here's what worries me.. assuming one either dies or is cured, aren't the following stats (latest) saying the death rate is close to 60%? ????????????

We'll be able to form a better picture within the coming weeks. As far as I know, the only stat to pay attention to at the moment is the rate of transmission, which is around 3.00. So for every person who has it, it will be passed onto 3 others. Edited January 28, 2020 by thisisrascal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some could have mild or no symptoms or be more cold like and so don't report to the authorities and so aren't tested or recorded. Also we don't have the age / gender / risk factor stats for this raw data. I would imagine that the cases reporting are most probably old , the very young or ones with current chronic health problems. I am currently concerned but not alarmed. I hope we don't get to alarmed state. Then I would be worried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rabas Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 (edited) Speaking of fast rising exponential curves, Thailand just jumped to 14 confirmed cases. But 5 of 6 new cases are from Hubei and all from China. So, Prayuth's Iron screen at the airport is letting a lot through. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-china-health-thailand/thailand-confirms-six-more-coronavirus-infections-bringing-total-to-14-official-idUSKBN1ZR0E6?il=0 Edited January 28, 2020 by rabas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexJohanson Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Thai politicians and the Thai judicial system are the best in the world. Other countries need to look to Thailand for guidance. Thailand is the first country to battle the Corona, the rest of the world need to adopt their battle plans and strategies! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
