Pretty sure this phenomenon started with the advent of the internet, not covid19.

That crybaby ought to stay in the province. Best place to hunker down.

People in Cambodia are probably on long term visas that don't run out for months.

People in Thailand only have to renew their visa 1x per month (or even less)

Maybe we should be spending more time exercising, learning a language, working from home, playing an instrument, or painting.

I know there must be some people in a really bad situation, but I think most should forget about the virus.

Sure, you might not be able to go out very much and there aren't lots of places open, but we're still able to have pretty normal lives during the end of the world.

Leave the greiving to those in dire straits and enjoy yourselves.

Dude you seem like a nice guy from our conversation, but this very topic you started is an illustration of moaning about the ChiVis. I realize that you, like others, dont have a lot to do right now......

Cambodia has already said it will be sympathetic to people who cannot renew their visa
Thailand has said it will give automatic renewals toanyone who arrived before March 1st
When your mum/dad/brother/sister/wife/child die of coronavirus will you still want to party, or get of your selfish arse and at least ry and help others survive. The death toll in the USA is going to be the highest in the world because noone took this seriously. The Uk is on track to be worse than Spain for the same reason. Arrrogance and sefishness. When it gets a grip in Cambodia, with bugger all health care it will be devastating with the potential to kill more than the Khmer Rouge. So go on, sit there an play your fiddle while rome burns around you

Your politics are showing.

I'm guessing end of July things will ease up.

Until then...

Looks like it will be over before then if you believe anything the UK health secretary says.

Apparently testing for everyone and antibody certificates soon.

I'm sure it will roll out to Asian countries before the end of May.

Time to wipe my tears away.

Unfortunately, there are not enough coronavirus tests for everyone in the UK, including health workers, and the antibody tests are nowhere near ready for approval.

No 10 seeks to end coronavirus lockdown with 'immunity passports'
Fresh criticism over testing plan as Matt Hancock says early antibody results ‘poor’

No 10 is facing fresh questions over its coronavirus testing plan, as it emerged that the government is hoping to exit the lockdown through controversial “immunity passports” and antibody tests that are still not proven to work.

In the face of intense criticism, the health secretary, Matt Hancock, on Thursday admitted for the first time that mistakes had been made. “There will be criticisms made, and some of them will be justified,” he told the daily press briefing.

Hancock revealed that certificates to prove someone is immune to the virus could allow some of the population to go back to work, as he made a new pledge to complete 100,000 tests a day in England by the end of the month.

He attempted to relaunch the government’s strategy while Boris Johnson remains unwell in self-isolation, after a week of pressure about why so few tests are being carried out, especially on NHS workers.

Hancock promised that tests would be expanded from hospital patients and medics to more NHS staff, key workers and finally more people in the community. These will be a combination of tests for live cases of the virus and antibody tests to determine whether someone has previously been infected. Germany is carrying out around 70,000 tests a day, all for live cases of Covid-19.

However, the government was also forced to acknowledge it was not likely to have the capacity to embark on a programme of mass testing for live cases in the general public, as advocated by the World Health Organization and public experts.

Instead, No 10 and health department sources confirmed the general public would primarily have to rely on the potential for an antibody test – but these are “ideally” done 28 days after an infection, to give the clearest indication of whether someone has already had the virus, according to Prof John Newton, a senior Public Health England official.

Newton said the idea of testing all those that have symptoms in the country was “unrealistic” and the as yet unproven antibody test was more likely to be used by people at home.

Hancock said work was progressing with the antibody tests but that the results of many of the early tests had been “poor” and he was more hopeful about later ones that have been acquired. The government has bought options on up to 17.5m antibody tests of different types that are currently being tested, but cannot say definitively when they will be safe to use.

Do you really think that it just hasn’t reached Cambodia yet?
This is not a rhetorical question, I genuinely want to know your opinion on this.

...When it gets a grip in Cambodia...

I notice a direct correlation to the higher number of people infected and the number of people being tested by countries with more money and resources to spend. How strange. Do you think that China didn't have Way more cases, both infected and those who died? Do you think that Plenty of cases haven't just gone undiagnosed in Cambodia, and that it hasn't been around for a while now? Personally, I don't believe for a second that China's numbers aren't Much higher than reported, as are cases in other poorer countries who haven't been testing or counting the numbers of people dying and comparing them with recent years. There are a few countries who seem to have dealt with it very well by both testing and being proactive in the situation. It's a shame all countries didn't do that.
