Owh, definitely if you are found positive, contact tracing is really important. But that is also the reason one might decided not to go to certain places, to avoid having to disclose they have been visiting certain place lol

A dumb down version of songkran and bangkok in general is still a lot better than no travel at all. As your BF has never set foot out of south america, he will get to enjoy everything bangkok has to offer minus the crowded tourists, which to me is a plus. As mentioned by few who are already in bangkok this past few weeks, there is no short of boys, with the latest visit of lucky boys reported 50 boys on stage. Moonlight bangkok had advertised their songkran special show is still going to be as planned. And you also said next year, you might come with a diff BF, which if its true, your current BF might not get to enjoy thailand with yoh at all then. No big tour groups around tourists places is a huge plus in my book. Now, your reality check is also valid. If there is a chance that thailand decided that you needed to be quarantined, then its not worth it. Now, there is already a policy to provide medical cert stating you are free from covid-19 and have been tested negative in the last 48 hours if you are from heavily affected countries. So if u still decides to go, ensure you will keep updated with requirements by thai gov, which seems to change with short notices. Saudi had cancelled visa for muslim to visit makkah with short notice as well and lots of people who already on their way there stucked at their transit airport unable to continue their journey. All the best numazu! -
Ok make sense then if bloomberg write the article hehe.
-
If its written by someone not from thailand, referring the nation as third party, the asian nation, seems logical. Im not sure if the writer or bangkokpost is from thailand or not.

Lol thailand aviation regulator dont decide for asian nation. They can decide for flight boardint for thailand only.

As people, regardless if their are local, expats, tourist, men or women, are always horny, the scene will never die. In hard times, it will be survival of the fittest. The popular boys, the popular bars will survive, the not so popular one might not. But silver lining is, the virus scare hit a lot of businesses, not just the sex industry. That would also means some more guys from other industry who got hit by this virus might turn to sex industry as a refuge. Its not like im hoping for this to happen but that is the reality, in hard times, more people will be desperate enough to try things they previously wouldnt even consider. Who knows we can suddenly see some of the gorgeous "guests model" from the many gay events suddenly appear in jupiter or moonlight.

Is rest cabin is their hotel?

30k in one night, that boy is raking in a fortune during this bad times. At least i do know many of the boys will help out their friends when in need, especially when they got good fortune (i.e. generous customer/sponsor). I know some boys started day job to try to have a stable monthly income, so these boys should do fine, unless their day jobs also related to tourism, then they might be hit badly too.

This is exactly overreacting will do. If what i read is true, that it does transmit the same flu is, and even asymptomatic person can also transmit the virus, no travel restriction will be effective anyway in combating the spread. Itll slow down for sure but will never stop it. What travel reatriction and virus scares really do is hurting the economy, hurting the income of business that rely on tourism, hurting the factories, hurting the import and exports. What should be focused on are for all nation to ensure their healthcare are up to standard to face such pandemic if and when it happened. That includes having enough budget allocated for health. I know some countries are doing a good job at this but clearly some are not. And with the economy being badly hurt, itll make it much harder to channel money towards healthcare, let alone research on vaccines and cures. Heck, we couldve had a vaccine had the SARS vaccine research continues, or at least very close to have one given how similar this virus is to SARS, even being named SARS-cov2. Malaysia currently having a second wave of cluster infection, almost all linked to a person. That person travelled to shanghai and came back on 17th january, and tested positive 27february, 6 weeks after, so he might got infected from an unknown person locally instead. He is a high profile guy who is dierector of company and board of member of another, and lots of close contact with him tested positive now. Not as bad as south korean church though. It is inevitable and i do believe a delay by travel restriction will actually help in countries with poor health care, as what happened in wuhan, is not what all want to see elsewhere. I did google how an outbreak ends, its either a cure or vaccine is found/developed (like smallpox), or enough people has been infected and developed antibodies against it and no more new infection happening, or it becomes a normal infection where u can get it everwhere and is no longer considered localized and can be contained (like H1N1).
-
In short it is still too early to know the exact death rate. To put things to perspective, WHO estimated SARS death rate at 3-4% and by the end of the outbreak, it was 9.6%.
-
Here is another dive into the death rate, further divided by region, even in china, the death rate is all over the place with wuhan is higher than the rest. Mortality Rate, as discussed by the National Health Commission (NHC) of China on Feb. 4 Asked at a press conference on February 4 what the current mortality rate (or case fatality rate, CFR) is, an official with China NHC said that [7]: The formula they are using is: cumulative current total deaths / current confirmed cases. Therefore, as of 24:00 on Feb. 3, the formula used was 425/20,438. Based on this figure, the national mortality rate to date was 2.1% of confirmed cases. There might be mild cases and other cases not reported. 97% of the country's total deaths (414) were in the Hubei Province. Mortality rate in Wuhan was 4.9%. Mortality rate in the Hubei Province was 3.1%. Mortality rate nationwide was 2.1%. Fatality rate in other provinces was 0.16%. Deaths in Wuhan were 313, accounting for 74% of China's total. Most of the cases were still mild cases, therefore there was no need to panic. Asked why Wuhan was so much higher than the national level, the NHC official replied that it was for lack of resources, citing as an example that there were only 110 critical care beds in the three designated hospitals where most of the cases were sent. National mortality rate was basically stable, as of Feb. 4 at 2.1%, and it was 2.3% at the beginning of the epidemic, which can be seen as a slight decline. Front the analysis of death cases, it emerged that the demographic profile was mainly male, accounting for 2/3, females accounting for 1/3, and is mainly elderly, more than 80% are elderly over 60 years old, and more than 75% had underlying diseases present such as cardiovascular and cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and, in some cases, tumor. Elderly people with basic diseases, as long as they have pneumonia, were clinically a high-risk factor regardless of whether it is a coronavirus or not, and the case fatality rate was also very high, so it is not that the case fatality rate of pneumonia is high because of the infection with the new coronavirus. "This point must be explained to everyone," concluded the NHC official There are more statistic about death rate on this website if anyone want to read further https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/coronavirus-death-rate/
-
To add to the point that it is still too early to get the mortality rate, most people who do get tested, are either needing medical help, have travelled to china (in early stage) or other badly affected countries, or close contact to a confirmed case from contact tracing. We know some countries totally ignore this (indonesia, laos, cambodia for example), and most people who are asymptomatic or got a mild fever without travel history nor close contact to a confirmes cased dont even bother to go to clinic and probably just swallowed some paracetemol. Even amongst the confirmed cases, roughly 80% are having mild symptom without the need to be hospitalized, just needed to be isolated. I agree, this virus is something to be worried about, but it spreads similarly like flu, and unless you are in the high risk group, i do believe the scare is blown out of proportion. Id like to put another insight to the death rate, which is most who died have underlying medical condition.

https://thepattayanews.com/2020/03/06/pattaya-city-cancels-all-non-religious-official-songkran-activities-and-wan-lai-festival-due-to-covid19-concerns/ I wouldnt be so sure about that. But i still think songkran isnt everything and there is plenty of fun around still. With much less tourist around, bars and boys will pay more attention to you in bars. -
Yup, it is still too early to get a reasonable fatality rate, especialy it takes few weeks to a month from first testes positive to resolved case (recovered or death). I dont recall the scare is this huge during sars or mers though. H1N1 scare in the beginning was a bit similar but again, it turns out all that scare is for nothing really. Another insight to the mortality rate is to view it by age group.

Fancy equipment for a disease that is only slightly worse than normal flu
-
Too bad as i doubt itll pick up anytime soon. Sars outbreak lasted 2 years or so with much less infection. H1N1 on the other hand is still around and now named influenza A but flu shot (vaccine) is able to reduce the severity of the flu. Until a vaccine is found, or enough people been infected and develop antibody against them, the current measure is all we can do.

A more likely scenario is one of his client sponsor him for the business and asked him to stop working at bar. But him saving enough money to open a business is not farfetch as well.
