Popular Post webfact Posted February 24, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 24, 2020 Covid-19: Outbreak at Bangkok shopping center - and government cover up - just more fake news Thai caption: Fake News! Picture: 77kaoded Thai media reported that an outbreak of coronavirus or Covid-19 at a well known shopping center in the Rama 9 area and allegations of a government cover-up were just more fake news. 77kaoded said that posts had circulated on social media pertaining to the shopping center as well as cases in several provinces like Yala and Pathum Thai. Claims were made that health care workers and people in a factory were affected. Following an investigation by the Anti Fake News Center it was all discovered to be untrue. The public health ministry said that cases of the virus in Thailand remained at 35 - fourteen are being treated and 21 have gone home. There were no new cases and if there are then they will be announced at the daily briefings. The Public Health department asked the people to get their news from them.

Popular Post Cake Monster Posted February 24, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 24, 2020 (edited) The basic problem that Thailand has is this Because so much " smoke and mirrors " and downright lies are told by Government, absolutely nobody believes a single word that is spoken from them now. About anything. They then retaliate with a " fake news " allegation to everything, which makes them look even worse than they actually are.

snoop1130 Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Govt denies data about COVID-19 concealed, calls on people to not believe fake news BANGKOK (NNT) - News about factory workers in Pathum Thani and a department store employee in the Phloenchit area of Bangkok being infected with COVID-19 has been found by the Ministry of Public Health to be fake news. The online news claimed there might be more than one factory in Pathum Thani province where workers were reported to have been infected with COVID-19 and the government was accused of concealing it, prompting the Ministry of Public Health to announce that no COVID-19 patients have been found in that area. The online news also claimed that a Central Embassy employee has been infected with COVID-19, prompting the department store to make an inquiry with the Ministry of Public Health which assured there has not been an infection reported. Central Embassy has taken measures for the health and safety of its employees and customers and announced any employees, who might have a fever, can take leave.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but the government is highly invested in keeping the "real" numbers down so as to not completely kill what remains of the tourist business. Put something on social media or otherwise publicize it and you will subject yourself to the wrath of the government. Look what happened to that 20-year in Chonburi who posted something about an event long ago that we cannot discuss - he's in jail. People are wise to how the government deals with dissent these days. Plus if someone is ill and goes to the hospital, perhaps they won't test for the Corona Virus and just diagnose it as a flu or pneumonia. That's the end of that and there are no Corona Virus cases in Thailand. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Point taken and duly noted but as i said 'I HOPE' in my quote just as you wrote 'PERHAPS' anyhow 'I GUESS' time will tell Still i feel personal stories, pics, videos would of surfaced if it was way worse than declared At least we are still able to have objective views on the subject. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
