Jonathan Fairfield Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Number of Covid-19 cases unchanged at 33, says health ministry The Ministry of Public Health briefed the press today (February 14) on the latest data of the new coronavirus (Covid-19) infection in Thailand. “A female Chinese tourist infected with the virus was discharged today as she had fully recovered,” said permanent secretary Dr Sukhum Kanjanapimai. “Accumulated cases of Covid-19 remain unchanged at 33, with 20 tested positive for infection, while 13 have fully recovered and discharged”. Among those hospitalised, two suffer from ARDS [Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome] and have been treated with ECMO [Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation]. Both are in stable conditions, he added. Meanwhile, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Public Health Anutin Charnvirakul said the Thais brought back from Wuhan and placed in quarantine were in good health and spirit. “The quarantine period will end in five days, and I will personally pay them a visit before they return home,” he said. When asked about the Seabourn Ovation cruise ship that docked in Phuket yesterday, Anutin said passengers on board were scheduled to disembark in Thailand on the same day, unlike the Westerdam cruise ship which the government denied docking. “The ship operator had sent us the docking schedule, list of passengers along with their physical exam results before it entered Thai waters,” he said. “Most importantly, the ministry’s Department of Disease Control dispatched medical staff to screen all passengers before allowing them to disembark in Phuket”.

Popular Post Jingthing Posted February 14, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 14, 2020 (edited) That number is about as believable as "elections' in certain unnamed countries where the leader gets 99 or 100 percent of the vote. It defies logic that the number is that small. You would think they might consider stating a more realistic but still optimistic number if the goal is believability and saving business interests. Oh well. This is worrying. Edited February 14, 2020 by Jingthing 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lkv Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 It's likely that, upon the orders of Anutin, they stopped the count at 33 and diagnose further cases as dengue fever or similar. Which is what Indonesia is thought of doing, with ZERO cases and a tourist destination like Bali. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assurancetourix Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 A Google translation of an article published today in a French economic newspaper : But other than that, all is well in the land of the frozen smile " The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), behind these figures, also reported that "70 airlines have canceled all international flights to and from China" and "50 other airlines have reduced their flying activities. " The epidemic of the new coronavirus has resulted in "a potential reduction of $ 4 billion to $ 5 billion" in revenues for airlines around the world, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) said on Thursday in a statement. As a result, this resulted in "an 80% reduction in foreign air capacity for travelers to and from China and a 40% reduction in air capacity for Chinese airlines," according to preliminary estimates by the organization. " https://www.latribune.fr/entreprises-finance/industrie/aeronautique-defense/covid-19-4-a-5-milliards-de-dollars-de-pertes-pour-les-compagnies-aeriennes-839751.html#xtor=EPR-2-[l-actu-du-jour]-20200214 Part of China, the epidemic of coronavirus, now called "Covid-19" by the WHO, constitutes a "very serious threat to the rest of the world" and the virus must be considered by the international community as "the public enemy number one, ( So I guess Thailand is not part of the "rest of the world" ) "said director general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus on Tuesday. Speaking at a seminar attended by more than 400 researchers and representatives of national health authorities in Geneva, the number one of the World Health Organization called for sharing of samples of the virus and an acceleration of research treatments and vaccines. "With 99% of the cases recorded in China, this remains essentially an emergency for this country but which represents a very serious threat for the rest of the world", he underlined. "We hope that one of the results of this meeting will be a roadmap on which researchers and donors can align themselves," he added, adding that a vaccine could be discovered within 18 months.

JohnnyBKK Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 These numbers make no sense. Considering the number of cases in Singapore and Japan we should be at 200 or 300 cases by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHolmesJr Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Is anyone still believing this garbage? They must have vaccinated the entire pop then. It's criminal to give people a false sense of security while this thing is proving that it spreads so quickly and easily. Singapore had 9 in a single day and it's all due to the natural movement of people....and most people there dont really go out to mingle these days. The latest numbers came from events that unfolded at a church gathering.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad to say they would have died anyway. Covid19 is just adding to the figures, 2000? so far? We all know how many people die from normal ( corona virus flu ) Covid19 is a new kind of Corona virus. Two things for you to look at. 1. Bog standard corona flu virus. 2. New Covid19 flu virus that causes a different kind of lung infection more likely to kill you. Different receptor profiles that make it worse. Edited February 19, 2020 by overherebc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are 7 identified that infect humans. One of those is the "common cold" virus. If it was not a self limited viral infection it would rot your head off and you would die. That despite it's demonstrated mutations sufficient enough to keep coming around and around ! Millions of people every year. Short lived and causes misery and lost working hours but because short lived vaccines are not deemed practical. No consideration of a mutation that is not self limited? Why no drama about that potential? So /and? What kills people in the hundreds of thousands/millions every year? Who does it kill? Who in terms of social infrastructure and socio-economics are a drain on finances in whatever and whichever form are "accounted"?? Which is more insidious? The diseases or the priority of prevention/elimination? No conspiracy in it as such? The glaring fact that apart from creating a profitable industry in extracting excessive profit from that sector who can pay there is scant interest in preserving or protecting in real terms those who can not or are dispensable to that ideology. I have little need to "search". I worked for some decades in compensatory provision of assistance to those who in real terms were of no humanitarian interest other than for profit. I retired from that occupation depressed and disallusioned but very aware of the callous agenda of the inhumanity of mankind that we have been coerced into believing is beneficial to greater interests. The intergration of religion, social media and politics derived and also contrived by does not impress my personal perception or convince me to be distracted from the greatr reality that despite ourselves if such as a virus were to emanate from whatever source capable of wiping us out it will happen regardless. Nature has the greater potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
