News Forum - Trip to Thailand turned sour for Love Island star after testing positive for Covid

[Thaiger]

A trip to Thailand went sour for an Australian star of the reality show Love Island after she and her boyfriend tested positive for Covid-19. The couple has been sent to a “hospital hotel” in Phuket to isolate themselves. 29 year old Australian model and Love Island winner, Anna McEvoy, has been documenting her trip and her isolation experience on her Instagram account. At first, she was concerned that Thai authorities would separate her and her boyfriend, Michael Staples, who initially tested negative for Covid-19. Michael has since tested positive and the two are now in an approved quarantine hotel […]

Well at least she has something to document beside pictures of her dinner! I wonder if she'll (or the idiots following her drivel) ever realise that her literary ramblings merely demonstrate her inability to comprehend the real world around her by going on a holiday during a pandemic!

"she says she thinks they may have contracted the virus on the airplane."

would  like to know how covid can infect your body and reproduce itself to the levels needed to be detected on a 12 hour flight. It takes from 3 to 14 days to do that

[francoa]

she hopes the insurance will cover it? Yea, keep hoping…maybe you could have moved to a 50000usd/week hotel.

 

Insurance always covers necessary costs…choosing to stay in a lucury hotel is not really their issue. They will give her 1200 bucks for the hotel if they even gove anything at all

I’m sure it was covid, but you never know what was being passed around on Love Island ….

Calls into question Insurance and who gets stuck with the bill! Let that be a lesson to those who think Covid ins takes care of  the charge! 
They are lucky they can have each other’s company together in a room,not so bad after all.

I still dont understand why those who test positive but feel fine need to go to a hospital instead of just quarantining in a normal hotel set up for that purpose.

That'd be why you're not a virologist.

Jeg forstår stadig ikke, hvorfor de, der tester positive, men har det godt, har brug for at tage på hospitalet i stedet for bare at sætte karantæne på et normalt hotel indrettet til det formål.  

Hospitals are more expensive which is better revenue for the Thai state. That can't be so hard to understand.

When a foreigner tests positive it's all about extracting as much money as possible from the quarantined victim.

Why didn't they know then? Problem is many travelers arriving these days come from countries which are a lot less strict on covid infected people, and they just can't imagine a system like that of Thailand exists. 

Surely they should have studied the brochure better, but it doesn't change the fact that it's a very cynical way of treating people

It also can't be hard to understand that they aren't in a hospital BY READING THE ARTICLE!

 

But hey, why does that matter, as long as you can make a whining post, right?

They tested positive and are quarantined in a hotel

 

What other way should they be treated?

I don't know who she is but, unlike most on this forum, if I am going to comment on something, I actually read into it.

 

Her Instagram stories are actually very informative about being stuck in her situation and her experience.

No whining, no moaning(wow, how refreshing!)

 

Plus her and her boyfriend actually come off as very reasonable and pragmatic and understanding of the risks they took travelling

 

Unlike most of the miserable bastards on this forum, who could take lessons from these two on how not be such miserable people.....

The simplest research on the T&G program would allow a person to know that a hospital hotel is what they are calling a "hospitel"

It is basically isolating in a hotel...........not an actual hospital

 

 

What is a Hospitel?

A Hospitel is the combination of hospital and hotel. This type of facility has been created to prevent the overcrowding of hospital beds during the outbreak. Hospitels are designed for people infected with Covid-19 who do not have serious symptoms and have low risk to develop complications of Covid–19 infection. A Hospitel is always coupled with a partnered hospital to provide medical treatment.

Please note Hospitels differ from ASQ hotels (Alternative State Quarantine) that do not provide medical care.

To check into a Hospitel, you need to be prescribed your isolation at the Hospitel by a doctor.

She then goes on, in the article, to explain her "hotel"

Michael has since tested positive and the two are now in an approved quarantine hotel in Phuket. In a post made yesterday, Anna gave a tour of the hotel room. Luckily, the couple is able to isolate themselves together, but their room has two twin beds. It also has access to a pool, but Anna says they are not allowed to swim. She says “as far hospital hotels go… this is a 10/10.”

 

I do hope she comes back with info on the insurance because on LUMA and AXA, they do state they pay for hospitels if "prescribed" by a doctor, which in this case it seems to have been

love island to rename to love hospital

on a positive note she gets more likes on IG

Where do you read anything about a doctor?   In other countries they would tell you to stay in bed in your own house. They are not ill enough to be admitted to a hospital. 

 

[Easterneye]

The only people travelling to Thailand right now should be those with direct family there , silly bints like this who just want to put pictures up for the sheep with iqs of dishcloths that follow her on instacrap should be nowhere near the place ( if ) they are serious about not importing more of the virus.

Ofcourse though it’s about the moneeeeeeeey

It literally states in the article that they are in a hotel

Do any of you people actually read the stories you are replying to???

 

 

[Guest1]

And that will be the challenging question:

Why the heck should a covid health insurance pay for it?
