Krapow Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 You may laugh, but Turkey is doing similar, in fact if you don't have a residency permit, you will not be allowed to enter Turkey at all from some countries, Italy included. Also if you have been there in the last 14 days, no entry to Turkey. If you have a residency permit, you have to get tested on arrival, and even if negative, you still have to self isolate or full quarantine for 14 days. It'll not be just Thailand and Turkey doing it ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The minister's post said Japan, Germany, South Korea, China "including its special territories Macao and Hong Kong," Taiwan, France, Singapore, Italy and Iran have been declared as "dangerous communicable disease areas." Anyone traveling from those places will have to self-quarantine for 14 days "with no exceptions," Charnvirakul added. The measures imposed by the Thai government include isolating or quarantining those with temperature above 37.5 degrees Celsius (99.5 degrees Fahrenheit) or with suspicious coronavirus symptoms. Travelers who have no fever and show no symptoms will still have to enter self-quarantine for 14 days. They will not be allowed to leave their premises unless special permits from Thai authorities are obtained. 4 minutes ago, Krapow said: You may laugh, but Turkey is doing similar, in fact if you don't have a residency permit, you will not be allowed to enter Turkey at all from some countries, Italy included.

We create a new medicine, nature creats another virus. And the human are often helping nature in the process ! Concerning prayers, well if prayers and thoughts can heal gun wounds this should be easy ? 😁😁 Anyway, if.I remember all the panics just in the last 25 y, this will pass as well.

Stillearly Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 The US figures don't seem to add up ... Vice President Mike Pence, who is leading the White House's coronavirus task force, announced that a 10th American has died from the disease. Pence did not provide further detail about the patient, but said as of Wednesday afternoon a little more than 100 Americans have contracted the virus. Pence said he and the task force are slated to visit Washington state, where nine of the coronavirus deaths occurred, on Thursday. that would suggest a 10% mortality rate ....

That is because the personal financial cost to individuals being tested, quarantined and treated will keep many from coming forward. There are probably many more already that should have been identified as contracting the virus. That will become self evident if the mortality rates remain higher than in most other countries. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Italy Italy announced on Feb. 26 that it would relax its testing criteria to the point that contacts linked to confirmed cases or recent travelers to outbreak areas would not be tested anymore, unless they show symptoms. I would think that by the time they show symptoms it's already too late to contain the transmission to others. Wonder how they rationalized that decision. BTW, I couldn't find another source confirming this information. Some interesting stats on the same page as to number of tests and the % that test positive. source: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/covid-19-testing/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
