The 57 year old French lady who tested positive for Covid-19 on Koh Samui last month after undergoing quarantine at a hotel in Samut Prakan has now been allowed to go home. 

 

She tested negative and has fully recovered and has gone back to her home on the holiday island with the well-wishes of a large group of local officials and medical personnel at Koh Samui hospital yesterday who presented her with flowers.

 

She will continue to quarantine for 30 days at home. 

 

Koh Samui department of health representative Apidech Phromkhim said that no one on the island has Covid and residents and potential tourists can have confidence. 

 

The French lady had arrived back in Thailand from Limoges with her husband and child last month. After she left the alternative state quarantine near Bangkok she flew to Samui and subsequently was found to have the virus on October 21st.

 

All others she came into contact with have tested negative.

Very confusing .. if she has just tested negative and is safe to go home ... then why is everyone wearing a mask, and why does she have to self quarantine for another 30 days .... the World is going mad !!!

Why is everyone so scared of CV19 ????? .... it is no worse than many other diseases that we have lived with for decades or even centuries ...

Take the UK - pretty badly hit. Deaths approaching 50,000 so that is ( 50,000 / 66,000,000 ) x 100 = 0.07% of the population. Like I said madness.

It has been said before and I am sure that it will be said again.

Yes the deaths are terrible. Numbers are meaningless - feel the pain for the victim's families.

The bigger factor that you (and others) ignore - hospital beds and medical services only able to cater for covid patients.

If you have stage 4 cancer in the UK? Tough. Go home and die. We cannot treat you.

The hospitals in the UK are full of covid patients.

And when you are giving one patient a room meant for 4/6 it’s not difficult to see why !

She’s having a ball ???? . She pays for quarantine, gets cleared and then a few days later tests positive for Covid seemingly caught in hotel ASQ gym . Then goes into hospital for treatment and gets released to what frankly looks a forced photo op judging by the look of her eyes and then gets told to quarantine at home for 30 days ! ????

I bet she’s thinking of leaving for good after all that . 

[ronaldo0]

Also I’m wondering if she passed all the tests before getting on the plane and in ASQ and then was positive after she left then why is she not raising a court action against the ASQ hotel if they are saying that’s where she contracted it .

Surely these places must have strict cleaning rules etc to be obeyed by anyone entering the building if it is a ASQ ? Or are these places operating as a normal hotel at the same time ????

[NanLaew]

Some ASQ hotels prohibit the use of a gym and some don't. If I had spent maybe five grand and five months jumping trough hoops to get back here, I would be making sure I wasn't exposing myself to unnecessary risks by doing stupid things like using the ASQ hotel gym.

Ignoring facts and spreading false information is a large part of the problem with Covid and it's impacts are a large part of the problem that allows for and help promote the spread of Covid.  While you numbers you list may or may not be accurate, one of the main problems with Covid is a) the very high rate of transmission person to person and the impacts that occur in the medical treatment capability. Many have no symptoms and are "super" spreader meaning they spread the virus excessively without direct realization of occurrence. The impact at the hospital\treatment level and strain on the healthcare system because and delaying the ability to treat other critical health issues. 

 

The question of why the use of masks shows the incredible lack of knowledge,  understanding and basic caring 11 months in to this global problem about Covid and methods of transmissions. The fact that simply wearing a mask and the "burden" involved versus the impact on virus spread can not be denied.  Sad, very sad that others with your view on masks and Covid are extremely disappointing and should be avoided and called out by others in the community every time it is expressed.
