So, you do not see any facts in that it´s better to avoid unnecessary contact with people or groups, even friend? That it is a fact that will minimize the spread of the virus outbreak? For you it is also not a fact that people that gather for unnecessary reason that can be avoided, are creating a higher risk to spread the virus to more people? That´s about all that I´ve have been posting about with my soon 50 posts in this thread. For understanding that you need to start discussing about working with facts and percentages????? Is it really that bad? How does it feel to have missed so much essential common sense during a life span? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best evidence suggests that it started in Kansas, and went on to kill 50 to 100 million people. Makes Covid 19 look harmless. Out of curiosity I googled several articles on the Spanish Flu of 1812. One thing in all the articles is no one knows for sure where it originated. However at least one historian believes that newly discovered records show the outbreak began in 1917 in Shanxi Province, China, and that the flu was spread by Chinese laborers hired to work in France and Britain during World War I. This also would explain why the disease was so well-traveled across the globe. Many of the infected were part of the Chinese Labor Corps who moved through the east coast of North America and Canada on the way to Europe. So, to say Kansas for sure is not fact. However, we know for a fact where this one came from, so good try on your deflection for the chicons. Don’t you just hate google! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you believe that people get immune against the virus if they are not drunk? Seriously! What a stupid comment. When I see fellow foreigners behaving this way, I feel the shame they put over all of us. That places would try to keep open anyway was expected, but that fellow foreigners can´t get of grip of the severity is totally unfathomable. Shame on all of you that are doing this, showing disregard and disrespect to your fellow human beings. Hmmmm, aren't you are the guy that wants 14 day over stayers deported, and you talk about "shame"...???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikeasq60 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 So now govts are in the buisness of telling people they shouldnt drink (cirrohsis), smoke(Cancer), go to work or school with the flu (contagious...oh). How about drive a vehicle after a few drinks should thailand shut the country down for that...YES! But does Thailand do that, no.

Indeed, well spoken - they could then have a drink in the many "bars" that are classified as restaurants in Bangkok before being thrown out of the country, they should have checked the license - silly, foolish and irresponsible of them when half or more of the "expat" residents are in a state of panic & in attack mode ????

Mac98 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 It's basic human instinct to want to shelter with others during times of crisis, especially 'strangers in a strange land'. It's not the best idea now but it's not like they were plotting to bring down civilization. I am not one to huddle with others. I prefer a man cave with the door locked. That's why I am on this site right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valid question, though I doubt anyone here will be able to answer despite the magnitude of expertise ???? If you were Chinese and back at work now you might be considering a flutter on the stock market though? Big companies will survive and gain more ground in the social divide as small companies will go bankrupt. "Governments" now have a "valid" reason for introducing more controls. Big Pharma will find a way to make billions. & lots of people on here are in depression, etc, etc,..................................... ???? ????

allen303 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Well I don’t have to worry about it. My wife and niece will not let me get in the car. So, our Saturday night out having a few bottles of wine and eating is out. So, going to save some money till this blows over. The good news is our local restaurant is delivering to our housing complex. They said just call and we will be there in 15 minutes. So, I have ordered a few bottles of wine and beer on line for delivery today and Saturday night The Pizza place will deliver. I know a lot on here do not like the hard advice, but here it is. If you are one of the ones here on the visa runs it would be a good idea to head to your home country ASAP, before you get stranded some place trying to get back into Thailand. Just on the US News was advice for all US citizens and green card holders to get back to the US now or you may have to shelter in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop arguing ... do what you can do yourself, today. That's what it is about and what Mazzo says. You can't force others to close borders, or stop licking food from the same spoon.
