Popular Post webfact Posted February 26, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 26, 2020 MPs scramble for face masks when told a colleague just returned from Japan Members of parliament scrambled for face masks in the middle of the censure debate yesterday evening (Wednesday) when they learned that a fellow MP, from the government Palang Pracharat party and who was among them, had recently returned from a visit to Japan, one of the COVID-19 high-risk countries. Pheu Thai MP Dr. Cholnan Srikaew sought permission from the House Speaker for a consultation, saying that one Palang Pracharat MP, who had been in Japan, had also been attending the censure debate over the past two days. Although the unidentified MP maintained that he had been cleared by doctors and had no symptoms, Cholnan said that the MP should be quarantined for 14 days and should not have attended the House meeting. He sought advice from the House Speaker, saying that he didn’t want his colleagues in parliament to panic, adding that there were not enough face masks for all MPs present.

stouricks Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Have they not read on here, or other reputable websites, that wearing a mask does Sweet Ms Adams to prevent catching the virus. It is only the carrier who needs to contain his/her own snot! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Denim Posted February 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 27, 2020 Since the MP is unnamed the safest and most responsible thing to do is have all Palang Pracharat MPs put a clear plastic bag over their heads and tie it tightly around the neck. This would prevent transmission of all sorts of things,virus included. 3 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post SteveK Posted February 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 27, 2020 It's funny how some of the more developed nations tackle the risk from coronavirus in a methodical and intelligent way, many even having contingency plans in place for just such an occasion. And then there are other countries (not mentioning any names), whose immediate reaction to the outbreak is to fiddle the figures and grossly under report the number of cases in the hope that it will go away and not be an issue. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not for 14 days, but for 14 years. That way the country might have a chance to get back on its feet. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incubation period is up to 27 days, so let's make it 27 years just to be sure. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khun Paul Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 OMG not only do we have aa DPM ignorant of this Viorus and how it spreads, we also have the WHOLE THAI Parliament ( all those with degrees remember ) being utterly stupid and panicking , typical Thai reaction. Zero logical action just knee jerk action. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
