The hardest possible punishment is death.Are you suggesting she should be put to death for getting sick?Is that to deter others from getting sick?Seems to be a bit of hate going around a symptom of this virus and a lot of fear and loathing.

I'd say let the punishment fit the offence. Once she is recovered, put her to work in a hospital ward for a month, with terminally ill patients. As a cleaner.

I think the punishments suggested here for someone who didn't know what she had because in all probability her symptoms were very mild like in 90% of cases and evidenced by her ability to socialise travel and shop, are far too lenient.

 

Strip her, drag her through the streets, hang, draw and quarter her, then giver her life in a hard labour camp, make her family work as slaves for the rest of their lives, sell her dog to a Korean restaurant,  raise her village to the ground and drain the local reservoir of water. 

 

THAT should discourage others from this heinous crime.....

Understood, but she is putting others lives at risk.  There should be a punishment for that.  If someone caught the virus due to her, and died, then that could be called murder.  Perhaps premeditated if she knew she had the virus.  Kinda like having unprotected sex with others knowing you've got AIDS/HIV.

It's not called murder and it's not premeditated if you want to lynch people for living that's your choice but it's not justifiable because people catch viruses and die and have been doing so for a very long time without being called murderers why are you calling people murderers for getting sick?Do you have some issues?Then get some tissues!

I've stayed near the border checkpoint before.  On the left as you are looking at Myanmar. People crossed the river there illegally all night.  Some just waded across, others got into huge bins and were taken across.  I've seen this also happen in many places around Thailand.  It's a very porous border.

 

They crossed all day too whenever I went there pre-covid days.

And the Mae Sot Immigration building overlooks the illegal crossing too.

There is nothing to indicate that they have traced all the people. It would be good to know, but would you believe what we are told?
Its easy to judge how many people she may have been in contact with.

Finding who they are may not be so easy without public announcements.

They are making it sound as if this is all fully known and under control when its very unlikely if nothing like that has been being done or is ongoing.

Most malls i go into now have no tracing. Its false to think so.

It may be easy to trace Taxis and some people in Malls, but public transport? There is no requirement to give ID for getting on van or bus.
"35 people in the van and bus". They know that from the logs, but dont necessarily know who they were.

Thailand should introduce The Stocks for people like her. A good week locked in these having rotten fruit & vegetables thrown at you seems a good way to start her treatment. Oh, and similar treatment should be meted out to all the most senior Immigration & RTP officials who's sloppy management allowed this creature into Thailand.

Can you imagine if it was a foreigner and have to pay for the cleaning of the mall who knows what Else but she’s thia no worries Tit

The hotel that my daughter works at are already getting cancellations,

seems people are afraid to come to Chiang Mai,up till now they were

doing quite well with Thai tourists.

they are using cell phones to do contact tracing.  If other phones are on while in the bus or van, they'll know who was there.  No app needed for this.

She will survive, like 99% of the infected

I have been talking about going to Changers in a week or two but now everyone there is Covid stricken I may just stay here.

False positives are very rare - about 1 in 100 and, for 2 separate tests (as is routine when the 1st is positive, and as was done in her case) it's about 1 in 1,000.

 

False negatives are common, especially early in the disease and in mild or asymptomatic cases,  but not false positives.

 

Add to this that she is symptomatic. And was recently in an area of high transmission.

 

There is no question this woman has COVID.

 

However it is a bit premature to start panicking or speculating (as article in BP did today) that she is a "super spreader".

A friend of me is staying at the same Condo as her.

One would expect that they inform the people staying there, and ask if somebody has been in contact with the infected woman.

So far nobody has contacted or informed him, he just knows about it through the news.

So much about "contact tracing".

Hmm, why did the BP think she worked in a bar?
