The problem is if people do not have income they can not spend. Lay everyone off and it all stops as well as causing a major breakdown in society. People with no money and food get dangerous.

Well i for one could not be more excited . Finally i can see some sense coming from the Thai leadership . Checkpoints on main highways a good thing , a little late maybe, as i saw scores of pickups with BKK plates loaded to the gunnels with personal effects returning home yesturday . But finally th...

This situation reminds me of the financial collapse of the US stock market in late 2007. The DOW was dropping at breakneck speed and nobody knew what to do because they had never experienced such a rapid and drastic drop. I was trying to manage my own portfolio of stocks through my online account, ...

I wish I could believe this (Link below), but I have my doubts, given it is from the Chinese side :-k :-k I would hope that some of the European countries can confirm their Data over the next month or two with regards to the chance of the infection being "Mild" and also whether that "Recovery" as t...

I am close to 66 and already avoid going out, no virus where I live yet but it is close. When it does hit here I will stay home or travel in my car, boat or motorcycle but no contact with others or public places. I sure hope I don't get grounded by the government, hasn't happened since I was a kid i...

This is getting really out of proportion I have received email with intimidation from member that had find my email, yes I should of being more clever in being anonym with my user name but there is no reason to intimidation, I have no problem with it if we are in front of each other, some Canadian ...

The sooner the better, short term pain for long term gain. Everyone needs to take this serious, too many have waited too long.

Latest state of play on “lockdowns” , apparently a plane was turned around back to the UK while it was on its way to Spain, this could be commercially disastrous for the airlines, holiday companies and hotels etc. https://www.forbes.com/sites/sarahhansen/2020/03/14/france-issues-lockdown-as-coronav...

Facebook article from an American Cristina Higgins in Lockdown in Lombardy Italy. This could explain why there is a high rate of fatalities in Italy. It could end up in some countries where the ones who have the money to pay for ICU treatment will survive. I am writing to you from Bergamo, Italy, a...

If a Country went into Total Lock Down for a period of 15- 21 days and I mean every isolation of ever city, people staying inside their household, all schools, shopping mall & businesses closed and yes every airport closed (in & out), then where would the virus be after say 15-21 days. If the virus...

The reality is the hiso Thai have always felt this way about Farang, this includes the people running the country and the well to do Thais. Nothing new, they do not like us or need us other than as tourists spending cash then leaving. No use for Farang expats at all. After 10 years living in Thailan...

England had a individual once who tried to stop nature and failed, the same logic can be applied to this Virus, being what it is, no man can stop it no matter how hard you try . You can attempt to lessen its impact, treat the symptoms, assist the needy , offer advice to lessen contagion but STOP it...

Perhaps the death rate number from Italy indicates if a country doesn't meet this challenge well, there will many more perhaps avoidable deaths. The Chinese number might be trending down as they wouldn't have known what they were initially dealing with e.g. not known how contagious the Wuhan virus ...

Yes Jai Yen Yen, But staying at home will not fix the problem, It may temporarily help slow the spread down But if other Countries down eradicate the Virus in their own back yards then it just means that somewhere down the track even a year from now, someone from that Virus Host country can hop on ...

A few days ago, in another section of this Forum I suggested that; Quote: "It may be that Airlines simply elect, "Not to accept a Passenger who has very recently flown out of a certain Hub City and who then wishes to transfer onto that particular Airline(say passenger who originates from a Country ...

I am sorry Tam but I cannot see the "sense" in hiding the 'cause' of the illness. If these people did not contract COVID-19 would they have the same viral pneumonia?? To hide the true numbers of people suffering (or not depending on the symptoms experienced) in Thailand to me is gross mismanagement...

It is way too early to predict how this virus will go ,nobody knows or if they do they are not saying. One thing that does stand out though is the extreme measures China took to try to control the outbreak, they are very concerned as is South Korea and Iran as well as Italy. I see some people are ve...

Interesting item in the report listed from Doctors who treated those infected in Wuhan, China. 1, it seems that the vast majority of people who die do have other immune suppressing problems. 2 There were some instances of younger people dying but no definite proof that it was the Virus or otherwise...
