Most of the comments from Thais were apologies for this ass hat's idiotic rant. They wanted to make it clear that is was without a doubt not opinion of the Thai people toward farangs about the silly masks.

coxyhog Posted February 9, 2020 Posted February 9, 2020 My mate in China has got a visa waiver for his wife from the UK embassy so will be arriving soon. He's going into self imposed quarantine for a couple of weeks then they're coming to stay with us. The good news is our two wives get along like a house on fire and have a shared interest....cooking. The bad news is for my liver....
fygjam Posted February 10, 2020 Posted February 10, 2020 It comes as a Chinese official confirmed a worrying new fact about the deadly coronavirus; infections are taking place through aerosol transmission. However, over the weekend, an official in Shanghai confirmed the virus also travelled through aerosol transmission, which means it can float a long distance through the air and cause infection later when it is breathed in. “Aerosol transmission refers to the mixing of the virus with droplets in the air to form aerosols, which causes infection after inhalation, according to medical experts,” Shanghai Civil Affairs Bureau deputy head Zeng Qun said.
Thai Spice Posted February 11, 2020 Posted February 11, 2020 While reading the "dramatic" numbers of death in the media, one should keep in mind the "natural" number of deaths in the China which is (depending on the sources) between 10 and 11 million per year.
