TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion revolves around 41 new COVID-19 cases in Thailand, raised primarily from returning travelers and potential implications regarding ASQ (Alternative State Quarantine). Participants debate the source of these cases, suggesting they could either be from ASQ or cross-border migration. Opinions vary on the reliability of testing and the effectiveness of quarantine measures. Several comments express skepticism regarding COVID statistics and the handling of the pandemic in Thailand and globally.

Thai people don’t need a covid test before getting on a repatriation flight back to Thailand! Of course your going to have positive cases.

@Calvin *********
these 40 walked over from Cambodia

In most every country it is very easy to get a negative covid-19 test from a doctor for the right price. That is why Thailand tests everyone when they get here, and again, and again before they let them into the general population. Thailand has learned not to trust anyone.

that is so wrong.

Page 40 of CDC’s rtPCR Panel Instructions for Use:

“Detection of viral RNA may not indicate the presence of infectious virus or that 2019-nCoV is the causative agent for clinical symptoms.”

*****************************************

The PCR (tool) is absolutely meaningless and was created by Nobel Prize winning scientist Kary Mullis. Mullis said in his own words that PCR was only designed for research purposes ONLY. He said in many interviews that PCR cannot detect anything infectious or determine what you are sick from. It’s only approved for Emergency Use Only by FDA because they know it is BS and can easy be proven absolutely useless. They are using the test and “virus” as a weapon to minimize movement while a new global system is being put in place.

Please understand this will last as long as they want it to last. Corona means crown or highest point of the body. Virus means poison or toxin. Combined it’s head (mind) poison or toxins. Fear is the greatest of all the toxins and can literally kill you. The name is there for a reason and literally accurate.

who wants to go to Germany anyway , Germany has many more cases than UK it's an insult
Robert ********
@Michael ******
Crazy and it leads to the question, if vaccinations work, why don't they let in vaccinated people? The governments know it doesn't work but they want your obedience.
Roland ****
@Robert *******
The vaccine does not work against the Indian variant. In Singapore, in came through from Changi Airport, where 80 to 90% of staff were vaccinated. Staff members passed the virus to family members and from there it spread to others in the nation. ....
Robert ********
@Roland ********
Good point. An interesting fact is that India is basically the Chinese arch enemy, second to the US. India has more soldiers and it could be argued, braver and more technical ones. It does not surprise me they would release an Indian variant. When the US fights China one day, India will be with us and China knows it. Good post.
Roland ****
@Robert *******
************************************************************************************************************


Reckon Germany is very concerned of the 160% increase of the Indian variant in the UK.. Unlike Asian countries which are raising restrictions, the UK is in fact lowering them, despite the arrival of the Indian variant. Makes me wonder if the rest of the EU will do the same and impose bans on the UK.
Robert ********
@Roland ********
I think that every variant that is conquered will spark a new release from the China virus labs. They only have to change a protein and they probably have a hundred variants ready to go.
Mick ********
@Robert *******
if it really is an engineered virus, it will have been engineered to mutate. perfect weapon.
Robert ********
@Mick *******
Agreed. This interaction shows how easy the Chinese are able to use Gain of Function research to modify the virus in a lab and make it look natural:
*******************************************
Mick ********
@Robert *******
not just chinese. usa has alot of nasty shit going on too. mind u they tend to prefer mechanical weapons, make more money dropping a zillion dollar dronebomb than release a virus. High end consumables wasted.
Robert ********
@Mick *******
Your exactly right and I am very sad to say that. Parties in the US were complicit in this virus, funded it and assisted as a way to weaken the country and gain power. I feel confident that is why the Chinese aren't being isolated and sanctioned.
Mick ********
@Robert *******
the chinese sorted their shit out early on in this mess. extreme but effective. usa europe did not. and the rest of the world is suffering as a result.
Robert ********
@Mick *******
I think the Chinese news sources are limited in what they can report. The number one thing they can not report is anything that would embarrass the CPC or Communist Party of China.
Mick ********
@Robert *******
and most importantly the true number of deaths there from covid.
Christopher *************
@Roland ********
what like Spain, lol other countries in Europe also have variants but they can't detect them as they are not as advanced in detection methodology. The uk had the south Africa variant and dealt with it very quickly, they will do the same with Indian variant too. Do you honestly think Germany do not have the Indian variant already ?

At the press conference they have every day they tell how many from each area.

Normally it’s almost none from people arriving by air.
Marius *******
in my country there is now big scandal about statistics ... the doctors reported total about

deaths , that means persons that had covid at the moment of death , but covid was not the cause of death. And only 227 persons were registered as deaths of covid as a cause of death. But the media is screaming 25 000 deaths . Why ??
Lurcho ********
@Marius ******
Explain?

Agian?

One more time ?

It’s because the people had already Comprimised health concerns and weren’t strong enough to handle Covid which tipped them over the edge .

No doubt you won’t understand this because with your confirmation bias it does fit your preconceived narrative that you got from some conspiracy theorist Dum Dum on Facebook .

Google your country for average age of covid death. Then % of deaths with no other conditions ( like a bus, or 4 story fall )....just for kicks, eh

41 cases in a population of 70 million is a freaking joke. I am just going to say it, Covid is a joke and at this point, if you can look around and see empty hospital parking lots, no evidence of anything outside the news and social media that seems amiss, than you are fullly retarded. I don't care that your 2nd cousins friend had covid or that you had it. You are fine. This is a War of the Worlds situation and a political disease created by China to defeat the US in an alternate way since militarily they have no chance. In Thailand, this is being used to weaken the middle class who are the threat to the leadership. That's it. Go shopping, wear a mask. The word is normal.

i dont think he means covid is a joke literally!!!

More to how its been used politically etc etc....

Just more fear, to keep you in line, and your doing a good job!!!!!

does it really matter if its being used politically, everything we do stems from politics. Until people stop trying to fight the rules then it's here to stay.
Robert ********
@Steven *****
I believe the numbers are inflated. I believe that they are attributing flu deaths to Covid deaths. Why do I say that? Because there are no flu statistics anymore. I believe that Governor Como intentionally put infected people in nursing homes and things like that happened around the world such as Italy. I don’t believe the numbers are accurate. I certainly don’t believe the fatality rate warrants giving up freedom in business. The response is not balanced, you can’t have people starving to death and with business failing and not address that issue. I believe most of you are mindless pussies that just go with whatever is easy. I wish I could do that but I can’t.
Steven ******
@Robert *******
Do you think the Flu statistics are inflated pre pandemic?
Robert ********
@Steven *****
No, I do not. The flu was not a Chinese manufactured political weapon. But it’s interesting ow we hear nothing about it since it’s statistically more deadly, don’t you think? Or do you think?
Steven ******
@Robert *******
So basically you only believe things that fit your narrative.

The numbers could be inflated but to dismiss it entirely (like you have) is bit naive.

Surely you must hold your hand up and apologise for your comments earlier regarding another posters friend who had tragically died from it. Are you implying that every covid death is related to an underlying health problem?
Robert ********
@Steven *****
That fit my narrative? Just FYI there are about 100 million of us in the United States and about
***
of the people in Thailand think the same way I do. This is a political weapon designed to weaken the middle class and remove freedoms. If you can't see that you are either complicit or have no hard work to protect from Marxism and distribution. I can only assume you have never read a history book or viewed recent events in Venezuela. There is a clear pattern that takes place over and over and over. This pattern fits perfectly. You are the one going with the narrative and politically correct views of the no-longer free press. It's sad and pathetic how easily you go to the slaughter. Have fun, I won't be with you.
Steven ******
@Robert *******
Unfortunately there are many like minded people like you. Fortunately the majority think like me. Does it really matter if its political or not? The facts are there for all to see, COVID KILLS. If you don't believe that, then there's no helping you.

I'm guessing by your posts, you don't leave your house because as soon as you do, you will be with the masses and wearing that mask and following the rules that have been put in place to lower the risks of spreading the disease.

Stay safe brother. Enjoy fighting the system that you'll never win while I follow the rules and have no problem doing so.
Robert ********
@Steven *****
I follow the rules and strongly believe in masks. Lots of things kill. Driving is far more dangerous than covid so please don’t drive, don’t live, don’t work and just obey like a good boy.
Steven ******
@Robert *******
Oh I am a good boy, don't you worry about that. Slight exaggeration there though, nobody is asking you not to "live" just to obey the rules to reduce the risk of spread.

So you do follow the rules and strongly believe in masks yet you think covid is a joke????????
Robert ********
@Steven *****
I believe in masks and wear them every day. I believe in them so much that I believe we should all go on working and living our lives. I just don’t believe I have to hide at home or become a Marxist stooge. That’s our only contention. I have about 2000 masks on hand, hundreds of n95’s and I donate them regularly in my village.

it’s a double standard world that you can speak like this (which I agree wholeheartedly with you about concerning covid being a farce) but when I do it, I get blocked on FB. White privilege sure is nice. You missed me with the whole China- America thing though. Everybody knows Russia 🇷🇺 and China 🇨🇳 have the biggest militaries in the world. Covid was made in America in some gov lab with Bill Gates and Johns Hopkins and whoever else. It was introduced/released in Wuhan at the WORLD MILITARY GAMES which is why China gets the blame. This point has already been proven despite being overlooked otherwise, you have my support in everything else your post is saying. Anyone who believes covid is real is just frogs 🐸 in the pot 🔥 being slow cooked— 👨🏾‍⚖️ This is a war on the middle class and poor the world over to get rid of the undesirables as “they” usher in a satanic new world order— 💪🏾

Could it possibly be that what you call science is actually propaganda? Let's pretend it's not propaganda. Can you please share with me an instance where scientists were correct about the origin and preventing the spread of Covid. Is Fouchi your scientist? The guy who said not to wear masks so that we could have herd immunity and now says it was a mistake? Oh, and that he lied when he said masks didn't work so that we would begin herd immunity as one of a legion of examples?

Are your own eyes a conspiracy theory? What are you seeing with your own eyes that tells you there is a problem outside the problem the government has caused by killing the economy?

@Robert *******
A few months ago, would have argued vehemently.. live in Thailand.

Dont know anyone thats had it. Dont know anyone, who knows anyone who's had it.

Go to 2 different hospitals, geog close to 3.

They are empty... News talks of building rooms in parking lots. ?

Intentionally asked head nurse at one . Oh ! you should have been here yesterday , she said. I was !

Its a ghost town. All businesses closed, kids at home as no school. Zero tourists, ASQ hotels have doubled prices, reduced service as no staff. Locals actually can't eat...no income, zero Govt assist, other than to big Corps ( sounds like 2008 in US ,eh ). Massive bailouts for Large service industries. ( emphasis on Large )

Have no answers, just Q's. Every country has much higher numbers, but talk to friends there..same.

Ave age of covid death is 74.......thought normal.

% of infected with no other conditions..6%

Cases of flu or influenza, almost zero, as covid is the dominant virus...?

All I will say is, many more people would have died if there were NO restrictions put in place at all. This statement is more a "ME" vs "US" mentality. The fact that people can say "it is not a lot" is a testament to efforts there and worldwide.

Remember, the Spanish Flu killed a lot more people, and a higher % of the global population, so it could have been worse.

My 2 cents (Canadian). Have a good day.

I agree with you and am for taking every precaution, wearing masks and when a tested and effective vaccination comes I'm all over it. I think the current reaction lacks the balance of letting people feed themselves.

I agree 100%. I don't know why it's not the class action suit of the last 1000 years. However; I think the reason is because factions in the US were complicit and aided this plan in a presidential coup. One day, I believe this will be exposed and people will look at this point of history as the time humanity almost fell into another dark age.
Andy **********
@Robert *******
Tell that to my friend who died from Covid.
Robert ********
@Andy *********
I was waiting for the first person to say that. All I can say is this, in Thailand 70 people a day die on the road. Less than two a day from Covid. Covid is about number 200 on a list of things to die from. My guess, your friend had other problems and did not JIUST die from Covid. But go ahead, hide in your hole man. Give up your freedom and manhood. I won't.
Andy **********
@Robert *******
How can you even comprehend this. How do you know this pandemic will affect us (possibly hundred times more than road accidents) if it is not contained? You currently statistics about accidents etc is not relevant at all. My friend,by the way was very healthy. Carry on being stubborn and prolong this dreadful disease.

@Andy *********
We wear masks here. There is no problem. There never was. More people are jumping off balconies because they are going broke than are being killed by Covid. Suicides have risen 24%. That is real. Hunger is real. Business' failing is real. Covid is just a rebranded flu. And you are a sheep.

your logic is that if it is not contained it may became a bigger problem. The danger is that this can be said of anything. In fact religion is based on the same premise: do what we say or you will go to hell.

that's normal like flu, new flu variant every year , but as more countries get their act together and get their populations vaccinated it will prevent the concentration of cases in each country and the number of mutations will decrease.

Those that vaccinate and get control will open their borders and their economy will recover

Sure they have to do the same quarantine. There is no advantage if you are vaccinated. Some experts even warned from vaccinated people. Because if they get the virus. Mutations they spread are much more powerful than the original virus.

They know from tests with animals. When they tested vaccines for older SARS viruses. Now they didn't do this tests. Because it means to pass the Corona virus to healthy vaccinated humans.

it says they were all quarantined . But Thais entering Thailand do not need Covid test prior to arrival. But they all must do quarantine. The flaw is not the quarantine but is the lack of testing, prior to arrival.

Very concise and interesting

It appears ASQ is water tight as you would think and hope

Anyone any ideas about how long the tighter ASQ regulations will stand ?
Darren *******
@Mark ******
until the number of cases decrease domestically.
Stuart *********
The short answer to your question is ‘no’. In Thailand the majority of transmissions occur in the community. Some will be from those in ASQ facilities. Most countries have unique indicators and things like security of borders, mask wearing and lockdown adherence have a significant impact. Currently in NZ and Australia, community covid transmissions are rare with most cases flying in and staying in ASQ facilities.
James **********
There are cases from abroard every single day. I think they are all from ASQ yes
Frank **********
Thais that are repatriated can go in to state quarantine or choose to pay for an ASQ. Thais that fly in commercially must use ASQ.

Regardless of repatriation or commercial flight, Thais are not required to have a negative Covid test before flying, just a fit to fly certificate. A lot of them receive their first Covid test ever while in quarantine. I’m not privy to the data, but it seems reasonable that quite a few positives show up in quarantine as a result of this variable… untested people flying with tested people for half a day or more in a metal tube. Not a lot of complex math on this one…
Andy *******
@Frank *********
good information Frank.. I wasn't aware Thais had to book ASQ for commercial flights, that info combined with no covid test prior to flight helps me understand a little more why people are testing positive for covid at the latter part of ASQ or soon after release from ASQ... shameful way to protect citizens and endanger others...

I was looking for a cave near this temple. It took about 15 minutes by car to drive to the temple from the main road, and he looked like he had not seen anyone since covid started. Turns out, the cave was on the other side of the wall 😅

Its the same everywhere, 99% of our cases here in Australia

Are from returning expats as we can not enforce the quarantine thing properly, and the test kits where not designed for this virus thats why there are so many false readings.

@Neil *********
You mean in places that have not controlled it ?

From Australia and NZ, it looks like the problem is the people, not the test.
Jamie ******
@Neil *********
Really! That's a lot of exclamations! Widely reported ?! Not in Australia!

@Jamie *****
well in the Uk and Europe it s been known

@Dennis *********
spot on.👍

RT-PCR test is the most widespread, mis-used, inappropriate diagnostic instrument in history and was never meant to be used as a tool for SARS Cov.2 (Covid-19).

At this point they could be looking at any number of viral infections the person had from the past or present and achieve any result they want to portray by increasing or decreasing test cycle thresholds. Kary Mullis, the inventor of the test would be bitterly disappointed with it's mis-use, if he was still alive. Unfortunately he died in 2019.

I went through ASQ process to come to Thailand. I was tested in Australia within 72 hours of flying out. I got to the hotel in Thailand for 14 days solitary confinement. Constant temperature, blood pressure checks and 2 further RT-PCR tests in quarantine....how the hell are these foreigners slipping through all these requirements and returning a positive result.

Biggest suppressed sham in history....

thanks for rant
Dennis **********
@Anthony ********
yes it is a sham and governments should be held accountable, we have had so many cases of people doing there quarantine testing negative the 2 days later testing positive after infecting other people. This shit is never going to end untill they get a reliable test
Jamie ******
@Dennis *********
False readings? Why doesn't anyone else know about this?
Neil **********
@Jamie *****
it’s widely reported that the pcr test can give a false positive result !

You could test positive and not have it ! But You can’t have it and get a negative result !
Frédéric ******************
@Neil *********
I don't know where you got that statement from. It is exactly the contrary, false positive doesn't exist, but you can have the virus and be tested negative because you didn't get enough material on the swab or the virus wasn't virulent yet when you got tested.
Neil **********
@Frédéric ****************
not true .

do some research it’s , exactly the opposite to what you just said .

false positive are many .

False negative none !

all the people denied flights home from India because of positive test results tested negative 2 days later

@Jamie *****
they do

The same everywhere??

You're spouting nonsense.

In Canada only 2.4% of all cases had any direct or indirect link to travel.

If in report they are called imported cases that usually means they are in ASQ, but could also be people caught at border.
