Khmer-American Woman Sought After Escaping Quarantine in Cambodia
Re: Khmer-American Woman Sought After Escaping Quarantine in Cambodia
Will the US embassy pick up the tab for everyone as they sent two infected diplomats into another country?
I read somewhere they don't need to go into quarantine, despite being the source of the problem, they are permitted to isolate with the embassy.

Not only that but how are they at the US Embassy instead of the hospital like everyone else that tests positive?
Truly pathetic. How could the State Department be allowing any employees to return to their postings without being tested - regardless of country?
I'd point out these people left Cambodia in March and have been "working remotely" at full pay since then. And now they can't even use common sense?
If I were the ambassador I'd send them off to the hospital myself. No special treatment. And then when they get released I'd fire them for being stupid.

Presumably because they are diplomatic staff, the two US nationals were not required to have covid tests before the flight. Now, because of these two US diplomats, a whole plane of people who tested negative have been put in 14-day quarantine.The other two cases are American nationals who are senior diplomatic officers. They also arrived in Cambodia on July 15 from the U.S. but via South Korea. They were tested positive on July 16. They are now at separate rooms in the U.S. Embassy in Phnom Penh
The other passengers of different nationalities with COVID-19 negative test were put in 14-day quarantine.
Meanwhile the Americans have a room at the US Embassy.

It is generally recognized that we show extra respect that is due by following customs and laws.

Silence, exile, and cunning.

If I was on that plane and now stuck in quarantine as a result, I would be posting some very angry material on here and amusing myself the rest of day sending hate mail and abusive phone calls to the American embassy.CEOCambodiaNews wrote: ↑Sun Jul 19, 2020 11:29 amHere: newsworthy/information-coronavirus-camb ... ml#p435761Presumably because they are diplomatic staff, the two US nationals were not required to have covid tests before the flight.

The Cambodian authorities must be very pissed of with them and with good reason.

People have every right to be angry at the embassy.CEOCambodiaNews wrote:Meanwhile the Americans have a room at the US Embassy.
But as the article points out, there aren’t ordinary Americans, but senior embassy staff.
With a lot secrets in their heads. That can’t be let out in public. A lot can happen in 14 days.
So then there two options to keep all the secrets from leaking out.
Assassinate then.
Or confine them to the US Embassy.
Re: Khmer-American Woman Sought After Escaping Quarantine in Cambodia
I am sure they didn't. That's because they never bothered to get a test before they flew here. And from a country where the virus is out of control. Selfish and irresponsible behaviour that has brought their country into disrepute.PHofer wrote: ↑Sun Jul 19, 2020 11:55 amThey may not know before they have virus.Doc67 wrote: ↑Sun Jul 19, 2020 11:40 amIf I was on that plane and now stuck in quarantine as a result, I would be posting some very angry material on here and amusing myself the rest of day sending hate mail and abusive phone calls to the American embassy.CEOCambodiaNews wrote: ↑Sun Jul 19, 2020 11:29 amHere: newsworthy/information-coronavirus-camb ... ml#p435761Presumably because they are diplomatic staff, the two US nationals were not required to have covid tests before the flight.

Re: Khmer-American Woman Sought After Escaping Quarantine in Cambodia
She was born in Cambodia according to her US passport but I wonder what affinity she has with Cambodia as she has US citizenship and maybe she's lived there all her life? Unknown... If she had a Cambodian passport I would have thought she would've used that as returning khmers can bypass the mandatory quarantine at a gov't facility and self quarantine at their home (or at least that's my understanding).John Bingham wrote: ↑Sun Jul 19, 2020 11:35 amI'm not sure what you are on about, the woman is Cambodian.Rtrac wrote: ↑Sat Jul 18, 2020 11:34 pm What about caring about your community and your family?
