Popular Post webfact Posted September 21, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 21, 2020 Burmese child didn’t get virus in Thailand: DDC By The Nation The Department of Disease Control on Monday confirmed that a two-year-old Myanmar boy who tested positive for Covid-19 on September 13 did not contract the disease in Thailand. The boy is thought to have caught the disease between September 4 and 10 after his migrant-worker parents quit their jobs in Ayutthaya and travelled to Myanmar. The family took him over the border by a natural path at Mae Sot, reportedly seeking to evade disease control measures at the Mae Sot border checkpoint. The department said the toddler was not suspected of having caught the disease in Thailand since all 146 people exposed to the boy at worker camps in two provinces had tested negative for Covid-19. Seventy tested negative in Ayutthaya, 16 of whom lived in the same camp as the infected child. The remaining 76 tested negative in Nakhon Ratchasima. The department said it would continue to monitor situation despite finding no infections among those exposed to the boy.

Pretty sure some Thai 'virology expert' was on here the other day saying there could be a 19 day incubation period which blows it back in Thailand's direction. Then again I guess it's only 19 days on import but 24 hours on export ! 4 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's right, zero covid. It's going to be a very interesting few weeks ahead as all these people are forced to leave the country and be tested on arrival as they get home. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every case is slightly didn't because every strain is slightly different. Then again I am no virologist! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We know enough now to see comparisons with the flu and how that mutates every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a theory that this is might be what prompted the unexpected 'leniency' when they allowed people to stay for many more months than normal. Were they doing this out of the kindness of their hearts of was it an exercise in keeping people here so they weren't tested as they arrived home and found to be infected or even worse - previously infected and now recovered.

Popular Post RotBenz8888 Posted September 22, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 22, 2020 This virus stories are getting even stranger by the day. The most probable explaination at this point is a Stuka dive bomber dropping virus on selected people in Thailand. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This denial thing is absurd, and, as they are going to punish anyone who claims that anyone contracted the virus in Thailand (a current incident in Chiang Mai is an example), it is quite obscene. I think the clowns in charge here actually think the whole world believe their "Covid free Thailand" bol- locks, while I am pretty sure that most countries do not trust the Thailand reporting about anything, never mind Covid !

Why don't the airlines require this The airlines now have zero say in what goes on, they've been thrown to the wolves. Before boarding a flight from a NON EU country to the UK or Europe a negative COVID test should be performed and proven, exactly like the one required to fly into China and Thailand - by everybody. You don't single out the people from specific countries - that's illegal. It should be reciprocal, if one side needs it then both sides need it but it applies to everybody. Also we should not allow Thais to leave the UK on a flight full of people who have tested negative without them also doing a COVID test - this is all in the name of safety of course as we all know the best place to catch COVID is on a 12 hour flight inside a sealed tube. If English people need a COVID test to get on a flight to Thailand then I'm pretty sure that it's illegal to allow Thai nationals to board without doing a test. I will be making some enquiries about this - discrimination based on race and / or nationality is illegal in the UK and I suspect they are breaking the law here.
