Assuming it's Covid, nearly 7% on that plane were infected. If thats the case, why were they allowed to fly in the first place? I'm beginning to wonder how accurate the screening in Thailand is. Are they assuming anything above 37c is a fever ? 37.1C for example. ? Edited May 31, 2020 by Chelseafan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who do you think has the better systems in place ? I'm betting that the SK's checked thoroughly before allowing people to fly. Could be wrong of course but this news report stinks of SK's looking bad (for allowing infected people to fly) and Thai's looking good (for catching those that are potentially infected) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like patient dumping! now 194 has been infected along with crew? the numbers don't add up where they were all sent? isn't SK on the prefer list?

Popular Post EricTh Posted May 31, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 31, 2020 (edited) High fever doesn't mean COVID, it could be bacterial infection etc. Government should tell the public later whether they tested positive after a COVID test.

Mulambana Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 They will be tested later. But it seems, Thailnd is not testing all quarnatined people. They test only people who develop symptoms. But two weeks qurantine will make asymptomatic persons destroy their virus RNA if the person does not show any symptom during qurantine period. Once the virus RNA is destroyed inside the body within two weeks, the person is no longer capable of infecting others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope not as 37.2 is normal oral, ive been reading 36.3 -36,9 at malls etc with the digi head gun, back home oral always around 36.9 -37.2 depending on time of day, to get a true reading it needs to be bend over and drop them, people read different at different times of the day but with a properly calibrated head gun i would assume 37.8would be high bearing in mind oral can be up to 0.6 higher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poskat Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 as all were placed in the hospital or quarantine, they are no risk to the general population. The numbers of such people should not be considered when deciding on re-opening policy. This does however, indicate that tourists should be kept out of thailand for a long time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
