Whether the test is accurate or not is anyones guess. Either the test is rushed and inaccurate, or there are cases in Thailand beyond the official "zero" figure (although very low). My guess is probably a combination of both. Edited October 23, 2020 by themongoose 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An interesting question because the lady in question is apparently a Thai with dual nationality. I wonder which type of quarantine facility she was in....

Gulfsailor Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 16 minutes ago, Sheryl said: Exactly. Irrelevant to this case. Either: 1. This woman is one of the less than 1% of people in whom there is an incubation period of greater than 2 weeks (indeed, 3 weeks) or 2. She somehow got infected while in quarantine or 3. Show got infected after leaving quarantine in which case the incubation was unusually short. None of these 3 scenarios are probable but one of them must be the case. 3 is the least likely in my opinion. As you indicate, she would have been infected within days after leaving quarantine. 2 difficult to assess the possibility without knowing the conditions of the quarantine. If she were allowed to mingle with other quarantine guests after the first 7 days, then that’s a possibility. 1 If 1% has an incubation longer than 14 days and right now hundreds of people have tested positive while in quarantine, then that it’s certainly very possible a few cases will have slipped through by now. It would be most likely that she was infected on the plane flying into Thailand and was one of the 1% with a long incubation time. Either that or she had contact with someone inside quarantine who tested positive later. Maybe the quarantine conditions should be more flexible; 1 test: negative is allowed to fly and enter Thailand quarantine. 2 start quarantine: if everyone from an arriving plane tests negative after 10 days, let them all out. Alternatively if anyone from that group tests positive after 10 days, it’s likely infection on the plane happened, and everyone from that group has to do another 10 days just to be safe. And during quarantine one should prevent any contacts with other people in quarantine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s why you don’t do a test of cure too close to an antimicrobial treatment, for example, as the body may still he flushing out dead cells (another reason is false negatives btw). You don’t just rely on one positive. You do confirmatory tests, which may include additional PCR Tests as well as x-Rays and looking at a patient‘s symptoms. PCR is super reliable and one of the best technologies available in modern diagnosis. There are infections that practically you can’t even detect without PCR. Is it? I've just head HSV1/HSV2 blood PCR tests, they cam back both negative which I find very hard to believe as I am absolutely certain I've head HSV1 since my early childhood, where there were always two or three kids with cold sores in the classroom. I thought also that I was likely to test positive for HSV2, but not with any level of certainty. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post tribalfusion001 Posted October 23, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 23, 2020 Back on topic, Thailand tests 13,500 per 1,000,000 and Malaysia tests 59,000 per 1,000,000, Thailand has more than double the population of malaysia. Clearly covid-19 is still floating around in Thailand but it must mild enough for people not to notice it anymore. What about the prisoner, they tested all of his contacts no one else had it. The original clusters in Bangkok back in March were mild cases, Thong Lor party and Lumpini boxing stadium. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case you need to re-evaluate the meaning of "reliable sources" and/or work on your comprehension skills. The inventor of the PCR test could not have said that, because he died before this virus existed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would nto be eager to announce this as COVID. It must be clear that it is. The big question of course is where/how she contacted it. You will never know. She is a lonely wolf. She go it from nobody and infected nobody. Same as the Thai guy who was in prison. Nobody talks about this anymore. If you read what's going on in Europe: if there is a wedding or another party, suddenly everybody is positive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the farce that was Australian quarantine a while ago where people were actually catching it in the facilities and then spreading it when they got out. It seems obvious that if you have asymptomatic covid cases mixing with those not infected in the same hotel, the virus is going to spread and as the test isn't 100%, it's inevitable that eventually some cases are going to be released into the community.
