The move by Thai officials to create ‘Phuket COVID Care Centres’ should be a red flag to anybody paying attention right now. But only the Phuket News are, so far, brave enough to report them.
Because, in effect, the so-called ‘care centres’ are nothing more than COVID detention camps, and even then they are only for those who test positive by the unreliable rapid antigen test and who are not showing any signs of infection.
This means that all Thai officials now have to do is SAY you have the BUG and you can be forcibly detained, despite feeling perfectly healthy. This is what happens in North Korea and China.
And this is how every Fascist dictatorship has operated throughout history. It is all to keep everybody safe, you know.
And most people are willingly going along with this. Only last week we covered the abject stupidity on display in Pattaya these days. (Are you still wearing two face masks? You might as well be wearing pants over your head.)
Society now reminds me of the scene in The Time Machine when all the citizens simply follow the orders given by the Morlocks, without any question. Brain dead.
The detention centres have been set up in each of Phuket’s districts: Kathu, Thalang and Muang. The best known example is the conversion of the old prison in Phuket Town to accommodate some 500 people as COVID inmates.
Previously, asymptomatic were asked to observe home quarantine, but now they are going into confinement – despite officials refusing to publicly disclose how many infections have been traced to asymptomatic carriers.
Which research by even the sinister World Health Organization reveals is virtually nobody.
And they will not publicly recognize this because doing so would reveal to people what is really going on.
Imagine if it turns out to be zero, as many suspect. Would Thailand still drag perfectly healthy people into detention centres? Probably.
But, any doubt as to whether asymptomatic carriers can transmit the SARS-CoV-2 virus has been hushed up or shouted down under the threat of – you guessed it – detention.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has taken the position that it is too difficult to report accurately due to the spread by symptom-free carriers varying too greatly among different communities and populations.
Although they do concede it is ‘very rare.’ In other words, they are fudging it.
Other medical experts were shocked by this statement, countering that asymptomatic patients of anything CANNOT transmit disease, and never have. But they have all been banned by Facebook and Twitter now so find it very difficult to make their concerns public.
Lockdowns benefit Media Groups. Because they have more people at home listening to, watching and reading their fear-mongering. And UP goes their ad revenues. Some of these people really are this cynical.
Currently the worldwide death total for Covid is claimed to be 4.5 Million. As the total population is around 7.9 Billion, the official fatality rate is 0.06%. Or you can call that a 99.94% survival rate if you prefer.
And these numbers are only the people who have died after having received a positive COVID test. They didn’t necessarily die from it. You have all heard or read the expression ‘had underlying medical issues.’ This usually means they died from something else, say heart attack for example, but is included in the COVID numbers anyway.
In the UK they were including anybody who had a positive test two-weeks before death. Run over by a bus? Positive test 13 days ago. It’s a COVID death.
If you were able to take out all these numbers and only have a figure for the people who died FROM Covid and not WITH Covid then I suggest the survival rate from this virus is much, much higher than 99.94%.

From the Phuket News…..
In Thailand, even to aid their own efforts to contain the spread of infections, local officials are not reporting how many of the latest confirmed infected are Delta variant and they are not reporting how many of those testing positive have been vaccinated in what are now being called “breakthrough transmissions”. Strike one.
Worse is the reliance to detain people on the basis of testing positive only by an antigen test kit, which officials are calling ATKs in short. In the past month they have stopped referring to such tests as “rapid antigen tests”, as if no longer using the word “rapid” makes the tests more reliable. That does not embolden trust. Strike two.
Phuket officials have confirmed that any of the “care centre” detainees are to be tested by RT-PCR method to confirm whether the person is actually infected, but are not reporting how many of the ATK detainees have tested positive.
Meaning, they do not reveal to the public how effective the ATKs are in identifying people who are actually infected. Strike three.
In the same vein, the official Phuket COVID situation daily report now includes how many are detained each day on the basis of testing positive by ATK, but does not mark how many people are released after testing negative by RT-PCR method. Strike four.
The daily report marks each day how many people in total remain detained after an ATK test, including the number of new ATK confirmations for that day.
This means that the total number reported each day probably includes the number of ATK detainees that have been allowed to go home each day, but in reality the oblique numbers presented fail to confirm how many of those being detained later tested positive by RT-PCR and were transferred to a medical facility, even if asymptomatic, or left at the care centre because they are asymptomatic, or have gone home. We just have no idea. Strike five.
What can be understood by comparing even just the first two reports to include ATK figures is that not one person held for testing positive by ATK was a false positive, and not one detainee started to develop signs of infection.
If the ATKs are in any way accurate, they should have identified at least one genuinely infected person. After all, that is what they are being used for.
Unless of course not one person being held in confinement with hundreds of other people believed to be infected had an RT-PCR test result back. That beggars belief. Strike six.
Of note, the first daily report by the Phuket Provincial Public Health Office (PPHO) to include any ATK detainee figures featured a zero for how many of the COVID incarcerated had been released to return home.
The next day the report did not even include the section. Do Phuket health officials not want to report how many people they are detaining without cause? Strike seven.
Perhaps they might want to start looking at who they are getting into bed with when it comes to civil rights abuses enforced through a perpetually extended emergency decree. – Source – The Phuket News
