First they say 100 cases in the UK ,next only 50cases in Europe ,then it's similar to Kawasaki ,then it is Kawasaki . And all tested with antibodies . I saw it on the internet so I must be true

[noosard]

As health organizations have started warning about unusual presentations of a Kawasaki disease-like inflammatory syndrome associated with COVID-19, some pediatric cardiologists noted that even classic cases are likely going undercounted.

The first known published case of classic Kawasaki disease associated with COVID-19 was reported in Hospital Pediatrics in late April. A 6-month-old seen in Stanford, California, screened positive for COVID-19 after presenting with fever, blotchy rash, and minimal respiratory symptoms. She had initially been sent home from urgent care.

Thai media reporting that malls will also be allowed to open from Sunday between 10am and 8pm. Though from what I understood from before, not all businesses will re-open at first. For example, no cinemas. Stadiums are also allowed to re-open, but no team sports. More info soon.

Businesses that have to remain closed include ... fitness center....

In sports category, the following can re-open from Sunday: gymnasium.... In gym, no group exercise allowed or use of any electrical machines such as treadmill and elliptical.

What's the difference between a gym and fitness center? In the U.S., we use those terms more or less interchangeably.

Separately, why no electric machines? How is an elliptical powered by electricity more likely to spread the virus than one which is not?

Still no booze for restaurant diners ??? takeaway only.

Another one I don't understand. If a restaurant is enforcing social distancing, what difference does it make what the patrons drink?

[vincemunday]

I think most British would consider a gym to be more about weights and machines and a fitness centre to be aerobics and Pilates type things as well as weights and machines.

My take on the booze thing is ... it was originally banned to stop gatherings as Thais drink mostly in groups and cheers glass chinking is the norm , being able to buy booze to drink at home wont stop gatherings etc just moves friends getting together from the bar scene to a residential property ...

When it comes down to having a beer or wine with a meal in a restaurant i cant see the issue .

I predicted n planned for the 1st June at the earliest when ok to have a alcoholic bevvy in a restaurant .. bars n Pubs may be a while longer after that.

^ If a virus cluster starts from home piss up, card game or chook fight, the contact tracing will be a whole helluva lot easier than if it started at a buffet at some restaurant with people from all over.

The Korean's latest virus cluster is having contact tracing issues due to the clubs where it broke out being in the gay area and frequented by students. Nobody wants to be identified as going there. As a consequence, I am making sure I attend only straight cock fights.

As predicted S Korea and China removed from the C 19 risk list .. full steam ahead to lif those flight bans and get them back here a tourists ASAP .. next thing dropping the 14 day quarantine for them as well..

I thought both countries especially S Korea has seen a surge in cases recently ..but hey dont let that get in the way of the agendas of some people in high places ..

Hope after all the good work done here ref the pandemic decisions like this wont come back to bite Thailand on the ass
