Re: Coronavirus - Thailand
Further to the article posted by JB about the predictability of a disease emanating from China. An inability to see a wild animal without the need to eat it coupled with the habit of spitting everywhere.

Of course, even then matters would be much better had the WHO immediately recommended quarantine for all outbound travel from China. They were strongly recommending continuing travel for several weeks.

Today, I highlight two reports from the Bangkok Post:
Ah! So this was why all passenger flights have been banned from landing in Thailand until April 6th . . .

All passenger flights have been banned from landing in the country to curb the outbreak of the new coronavirus, the aviation agency said on Friday.
The ban came into effect on Saturday morning and will run until the end of Monday, the Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand said in an order published late on Friday.
Anyone arriving on a flight that took off before the order came into effect will need to be quarantined for 14 days upon arrival in Thailand, the order said . . .

sounds a bit like the description of the Chatuchak weekend market in Bangkok in a recent Bangkok Post article

the Thailand gay forums on topics like this these days are getting more and more like reading the Bangkok Post "Comments" posts on their website, or one of the worse ThaiVisa forums
Re: Coronavirus - Thailand
Yeah, I'm getting pissed nowadays when people online start blaming China for the virus.
They do know that the Spanish Flu of 1918 originated in Kansas, USA, right?
Once this is all done and over with, lots of countries will have lots to answer for, China included. The US also has lots to answer for though, such as what type of shit show of a response was that? Once this is all over, my guess is Paris Accordd times 1000 will happen.
Nonetheless, leave racism out of it. This isn't the time.

We Europeans exported syphilis and smallpox to the Americas. The Arawak and Carib population of the "West Indies" was all but wiped-out...helping to provide the need (sic) for the import of African slaves.
