Would have thought medical records would show any ongoing medical problems. the point i am trying to make is figures can be manipulated, so how do they know 41 percent had diabetes and which type??

A mathmetician..... The comments below the article you link to are placing the debunking on the other foot. The science being discussed is very questioning of Mr Lacoud's assumptions and motives. Nobel Prize winner in the scientific field in question vs. Media commentators reading the scripts prepared by equally unqualified people behind the scenes? When Prof. Luc Montagnier states that the virus is bioengineered, we should pay attention and engage in a dialogue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now they'll test everybody, isolate and trace, leading to control of the cluster. It's what needs to happen until there is a vaccine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But perhaps use a different country to make your point. The recent spike in SG has been specifically attributed to the migrant workers' cramped living conditions. Prior to that SG was being held up as an example of excellent control of the virus. 20 hours ago, rbkk said: I absolutely get that. What I am sceptical about is the effect of heat and humidity. I don't think the virus is that temperature sensitive. In my link above (#250) they had to almost boil it to kill it. It seems to be thriving in SG. Singapore temperatures are not as hot as Thailand i.e. today SG 31 c , Where I am in the Surin area showed 39 to 41 c , significantly higher with a warning from weather forecasters to stay out of the sun because of the dangers of high uv levels .

Greg O Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 The health department has already stated that they are not planning any widespread testing. Individuals will only be tested if they are exibiting symptoms or suspected of being in a cluster where someone in that group became infected. They are relying on tracing people who were near someone that's infected at the moment. They stated that their cost is 2000 baht per test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thailand would've gotten the early Wuhan version. What remains to be seen is if antibodies, if any are present, protect against all strains. If not, multiple waves.

Hire a PR firm to trumpet the success. Simples. Test very many, many of whom are from the most survivable group/age, then the figures, infections/deaths, will look good, better. When I left Thailand on 27th March only those showing symptoms, a temperature, could be tested Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
