Just as well then that the rest of the world does not take Thailand as a shining example, or for that matter their big pal China, as lies and deliberate under reporting has not occurred in civilised nations. 5 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ThailandRyan Posted July 5, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 5, 2020 And so if Thailand is a leading example, then explain to me why they have been left off of the UK's No Quarantine list for travelers. Folks heading to the UK from Thailand will still have to be placed in quarantine for 14 days provided they are allowed in. So tell me what the world really believes of Thailand success at no Covid case...... 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkyFax Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Travel corridors: countries and territories exemption list From 10 July 2020, unless they have visited or stopped in any other country or territory in the preceding 14 days, passengers arriving from the following countries and territories will not be required to self-isolate on arrival into England. https://www.gov.uk/guidance/coronavirus-covid-19-travel-corridors So it would seem if a Thai citizen spent 2 weeks in an EU country such as France or Germany, they could then enter UK with no quarantine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So how would they possibly get sick on a flight full of folks who have been in Thailand and been Covid free for over a month. If they test negative before leaving as they should all be tested, I see no issue. Seems that this must be a tit for tat argument by the governments as there is no reciprocal agreement. On top of that your analogy of them being older etc... well That just makes as much sense as saying don't go outside when it rains as you will catch a cold. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, I have not seen any requirement of a Covid test prior to arrival. Generally looking at the list and requirements I think the UK is making a mistake to allow all those countries to enter at this point. I guess we will see in about a month.

The inventor of the RT-PCR test (who sadly and conveniently died last August) stated this about the test a long time ago:"these tests cannot detect free, infectious viruses" -Kary Mullis Which may explain the false positive count being so high, and doctors have been advised by the FDA and CDC to combine other factors such as symptoms and patients medical history to determine a positive diagnosis of C-19 should the test result comes back as negative "Negative results do not preclude SARS-CoV-2 infection and should not be used as the sole basis for patient management decisions. Negative results must be combined with clinical observations, patient history, and epidemiological information."

Normally if a country / government does something that might benefit another country / government they expect something in return . I think the UK government received nothing hence why Thailand is missing from the list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krataiboy Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 (edited) Most of the infected returnees recently have been from Islamic nations where some preachers are convinced the COVID virus has been sent by Allah to punish the infidel. This unfortunately hasn't prevented nearly 50,000 Kuwaitis becoming infected and Sudan locking down its capital, Khartoum, awash with new cases. Well done, Thailand, for taking steps against the importation of a possible "second wave". Edited July 5, 2020 by Krataiboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably was a "superspreader" in 2019. Hence, it must be considered as part of China. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point it's obvious the sun / climate has a very little if any impact on the spread of the virus. Look at Florida and other US states that have hot weather at the moment. Imho the defining factors are masks, social distancing and awareness. The pandemic will not be fought won or lost because of a government, more the people of a country and their efforts.

Those of us fortunate enough to have weathered the storm in Thailand know that the numbers of infected were very low and the outbreak has been contained here. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
