Huayu News According to Thai media reports, according to Thai media news, Swedish correspondent Bertier Lintner published an article before, which directly refers to the anti-epidemic response of neighboring Myanmar Weakness will drag down Thailand. Recently, as Maha Chai, the largest Myanmar community in Thailand, discovered cluster infections, the content of this article seems to be becoming a reality.

Lintner pointed out in the article that Thais smuggled back to China after going to work at 1G1-7 Hotel in Tachilek, resulting in confirmed cases in many places in Thailand. Most of

who smuggled back from Tachilek back to China were women. They updated their personal social accounts about walking on the mountains along the Thai-Myanmar border, making it easier for staff to detect them and send them for new coronavirus testing. Although the Thai government claims to be able to control the epidemic in the northern region, the smuggling gangs based in this area can provide convenience for other people stranded in Myanmar to enter the country. The Thai authorities should also pay attention to the waterways in the Phuket-Ranong province area.

In addition, the Brookings Institution, one of the well-known American think tanks, disclosed several deficiencies in Myanmar's fight against the epidemic this month, such as insufficient virus testing, poor health system preparation, insufficient income and food shortages caused by the crisis, and domestic unrest. Wait. These factors have made Myanmar's ability to respond to major public health crises weaker in the region. In addition, before the outbreak in Myanmar, there were an average of 6.7 doctors per 10,000 Myanmar people, which is lower than the global average. In addition, there are only 10.4 hospital beds for every 10,000 Burmese.

It is reported that the cumulative number of confirmed cases in Myanmar has reached 115,000, of which 94,118 were cured and 2,424 died.

It is also understood that Bertier Lintner is a Swedish journalist, writer, and strategic consultant. He used to be a Burmese resident reporter for the Far East Economic Review and currently works as a reporter for the Asia Times.
