Popular Post bradiston Posted October 23, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 23, 2020 Seems many Thai soldiers returning from Sudan are infected. Every day, more arrive back. I guess it at least shows the net, or the quarantine, is catching them when back on Thai soil, along with all the others. So maybe there's something to be said for the current 14 day period. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
