Coronavirus, 'I might die of hunger instead of virus

Die of hunger instead the virus

I'll probably die of hunger 

instead of the virus right now," says Panthera Sothe, a resident of Thailand's largest 

slum population, who sells food and drinks. Located in the middle of the capital Bangkok, 

locals consider this part ugliest city of beautiful city. This 1.5-square-kilometer area, 

based on fragile wood and small houses made of old tin, has fragments of swampy land and 

streams spread over it. The Soothi are single mother who are raising their children and 

grandchildren without any help. She sells fried chicken and meatballs in front of a nearby 

school, but because of this dangerous illness, her only source of income has suddenly 

disappeared as the school has been closed. She was earning 1,000 baht (US $ 30) a day, but 

Infect with the virus

suddenly her income dropped to zero. They have been infected with this virus.this is the story of many of the 20,000 residential of the Klong Toi slum population. Buying food items for your family for a sothi is more important than buying hand sanitizers or face masks.They can buy only one of them. She says, 'Fortunately no one has been infected in our community yet.So I will not get sick of it or die. ' But with that, she also says, 

'Poverty is slowly killing us.My only wish is that the situation get better soon and I 

hope the government will help us. ' They have neither school children nor any other 

customer to buy their food. In such cases, they do not meet the daily expenses.She says, 

'I really want to go out to sell food and try to make some money.But I don't have enough 

money to buy my own food. Where would I get the money to buy chicken and meatballs that I

would sell them.' She currently eats her meals distributed by different temples and 

different foundations. 'Whenever I hear that people are being provided free food in the 

area, I get there and try to get as much food as possible so that the whole house can get 

enough.I'm scared of the virus but with limited resources and a lack of money, I have this 

option to survive. ' Like many others, Thongrowing Thongfuen is a 56-year-old woman who 

works hard and is currently having trouble making two-time bread. She leaves the slum 

population daily with her husband on the highway of the pass, waiting for someone to take 

her for work. She knows the government's advice on not leaving the house, but he thinks 

that making money is more important to staying alive. 'Poor people like us have very 

little choice,' says Thongfuin.I know the government is asking everyone to stay home.But 

if I don't go out to make money, neither of us will survive. ' They said, 'Nobody is ready 

to hire us.When we are out we are at risk of getting infected with the virus and we may be

carrying it in our neighborhood. My children need food and the ones we have borrowed also 

need to paying them. I have a lot of pressure.Sometimes I don't even see the benefit of 

living Klong Tui is Thailand's largest slum population. Officially, there are at least 20k 

people living there, but the idea is expressed that the actual number is much higher and 

probably closer to 100k. Houses are built on top of one another, making it extremely 

difficult to prevent the spread of diseases. Most people in the slum population are aware 

Coronavirus epidemic

of the corona virus pandemic, but due to limited resources, they can't do much except look

at each other. Most of the children in this community are elderly and sick, with little 

movement. If this cased did here, consider the whole community would finished.Ludda 

Mengipole is 26 years old and lives in a slum population.She makes face masks and gives 

people free. She says that I am one of those lucky enough to have sustain my job and to 

take care of my family.But I see a lot of my aunts, uncles and neighbors who are 

struggling in this crisis. Anyone is not hire them at the job.this is just one month of 

the outbreak in bangkok and people are already in trouble. I cannot imagine what wil

happen next month. ' She said 'The situation in my block is terrible.There is a certified 

New coronavirus

in case of corona virus.I am afraid that many people in the community will be infected with 

this virus and it will kill them. ' Thousands of Thai people all over the country are 

preparing to fight the infectious disease; thousands of people from Klong Toi slum are 

already in a very dilapidated state. In Thailand, the number of new corona infected 

patients is increasing, and so is the number of deaths. But people living in this non-

income-based slum say that the only option is for them to go to work, even in cases where 

the virus is infected. It looks like this community has already been forgotten.
