webfact Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Thais become reckless in COVID-19 prevention By Pattaya Mail Thai people had become lenient in protecting themselves from the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) after eased lockdowns in all kinds of activities. BANGKOK – A survey has found that Thai people become obviously lenient in protecting themselves from the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) when it comes to sanitizing hands, eating newly cooked food, using personal spoons, keeping distances from each other and refraining from touching faces. The Public Health Ministry, the World Health Organization, the Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital, the Faculty of Medicine Ramathibodi Hospital, the National Health Security Office and the National Statistical Office conducted the survey on COVID-19 control after business lockdowns were eased. The survey occurred on May 8-14 and there were 19,378 respondents. Of the respondents, 91% wore face masks but other self-hygienic practices were statistically significantly overlooked. The percentages of hygienic practices fell to 83.4% for washing hand with soap or alcohol gel, 82.3% for eating newly cooked food with personal spoons, 60.7% for social distancing, 52.9% for refraining from touching faces, and 72.5% for overall self-protection.

As the good Doc says.If people are Brainwashed into believing that there is little or no Covid19 in Thailand, they will all start to think they are perfectly safe. This Virus has shown that it can transmit quickly, and it takes no prisoners in who it infects, whether they be Old, Young or weak or strong. Letting down your guard at this time will surely prove fatal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, don't ruin it for the "scaremeongers" how anyone can be gullible and naive enough to believe the "numbers" is beyond me, you have to Really be determined to make them work for you, even then you need a good dose of brainwashing! More deaths from suicides & people struck by lightening yet folks still are waiting for the pandemic to start, at what point will people start to think for themselves? Or have the majority lost that ability, seems so to me! How many months is it now when the hospitals were going to be overwhelmed with the sick and dying, reality is private hospitals are dying due to lack of business! yet fear is still being promoted? 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkshire Tea Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Every day, the govt tells us that there are no deaths & very few infections. No wonder people are "reckless".

pookondee Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 6 hours ago, Anton9 said: So tired of this brainwashing Yes, but obviously the trouble here is that the Thais are not falling for the brainwashing. How long will it go on? Will we be carrying on like this for months/years after the last patient is checked out of hospital? If no-one around you has got it, the idea of taking all these measures to "protect yourself".... from something that isnt there is just frikkin silly. Fair enough, if the numbers were crazy high like in other countries, but in Thailand 90% of the very few people who get it will recover in the same manner as a common cold. Funny, a lot of these western snowflakes are here commenting negatively about how Thais are going about it. But they themselves could have retreated home 3 months ago and hid in their mommas basements if they were that worried about how Thais would handle it.

timendres Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Quote On 24 May 2020 at 18:00, Thailand announced that 3,536 additional people met the criteria for PUI, raising the total to 153,991 PUI, as shown in Table 1. I believe this is the reason why the government continues with the emergency decree and why they are still not opening everything up. What we really need is serology testing to tell us how many people have had the virus. And we need the less vulnerable to slowly build an immunity firewall, which I believe has already happened to some extent. The first case was in Jan, and thousands entered Thailand from Wuhan in Jan and Feb. It is very likely that we have many who have had the virus already, which would be good news.
