Most of the cases this time are foreigners who came from Russia, the US and Pakistan.

The numbers are not coming down .

No way to skip quarantine or open the borders now .

It would be suicide for the thai tourist industry .

They are having a hard time now , everybody understands ...

But letting potentially infected tourists is would lead to a complete disaster by now .

May be if a working vaccine is available that provides a lasting immunity ...?

Need to wait a little longer ... government should financially help those in desperate need .

where they tested positive right away.

 

Assume their plane-mates will be cloasely monitored in quarantine? Moreso than the scheduled test I mean.

 

It is said that all positives are checked in to a hospital but the "Hospitalization" figures did not increase.

this and many other articles on covid-19/sars-cov2 need to be much better specified. I assume pcr-test is used for covid-19 testing. A positive pcr- test means only potential carrier of the virus. Why potential? Because pcr-tests aim is to positively identify sars-cov2 virus material only, which can be active (potential carrier) or inactive (only an inactive virus-part), not covid-19 (that is the human reaction to the sars-cov2 virus when infected enough). Covid-19 cannot be measured with this test. The drawback: we could be much more specific and precise to help country and people with different (serum-related) tests.

Why does the article say : Foreigners? 

 

Then the next paragraph says a Thai Women, A Thai Businessman.... I don't get it? 

 

Travelers or business people may be more appropriate. Where they come from is inconsequential at this point....  

 

Come now, The Nation Thailand,  let's not be racist or bias anymore. 

 

The whole perspective of "US and THEM" needs to be put to rest already.
