keith101 Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 I have been told that there are so many people who are sick and not being tested probably just assuming they have the flu or maybe dont want the numbers of infected to include up country stats as well . Sharing the same drinking glass causes a lot of country people who sit around in groups to get sick as i did the one time i shared with the labourers who building my house , never did it again . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when you think about ten thousands Chinese from Wuhan were in Thailand for tourism in the days of the Chinese peak, let us also not forget the enormous air pollution which undoubtedly contributes to the health of the lungs, and we know that this Covid-19 mainly attacks the lungs.

Popular Post sapson Posted March 13, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 13, 2020 (edited) Stunning really the UK near 10,000 infected and here less than 100, really truly amazing Thaland. Health minister blaming farangs for not wearing a mask yet his fellow ministers cronies allegedly seemed to have acquired a few million..... Meanwhile every pharmacy and 7/11 in my area are sold out....so how exactly would numb nuts expect us farangs along with his own people be able to buy and wear one.?

Popular Post DrTuner Posted March 13, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 13, 2020 From MoPH's report from yesterday, only available in Thai: https://ddc.moph.go.th/viralpneumonia/file/situation/situation-no69-120363_2.pdf 1828 pending results - 1504 admitted in hospitals. So, now they are sending people with pending results to home. I take that as an indication some hospitals are getting full. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ThailandRyan Posted March 13, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 13, 2020 I would have expected the numbers to double daily as they have elsewhere as the virus expands.

Well you should notice a trend here, not one of people they have reported has not been the fault of a foreigner. The 11 were infected by a guy from hong Kong who is no where to be found, all the rest infected overseas. They can't say people got it from Thai sources, Thailand is clean not like those dirty farang who don't shower.. Unbelievable!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legend49 Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 The 73rd case was a 27-year-old Thai woman who had returned from South Korea and was admitted at Nopparatrajathanee Hospital. After her return, she started to get sick. She went to hang out with 11 friends at a pub. The 74th victim was her brother and the 75th was her female friend. They were sharing food and booze, and had a long conversations in close proximity. Eight other close contacts have been called to take Covid-19 test. This proves Thais are not in control of the virus, pity there is no Minister for Health who is competent. What was she thinking, sick and shares food and booze???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take that as an indication some hospitals are getting full. Per this report from JUN 2019, the government hospitals in Thailand were already full even before the COVID-19 hit: However, although (Thailand) state hospitals may be found across the country, their ability to serve patients is limited in some locations, as can be seen from the following: (i) The bed occupancy rate is high and in some areas is close to or over 100%. At present, the occupancy rate stands at 103% in Satun, 98% in Loei, 96% in Phuket, Mukdahan and Surat Thani, and 94% in Udon Thani and Pathum Thani, so it appears that at least in some areas, the supply of government hospital beds is insufficient to meet demand; https://www.krungsri.com/bank/getmedia/587ccdaa-91a8-4305-a86f-30ea43558f0b/IO_Private_Hospital_190624_EN_EX.aspx Edited March 13, 2020 by SkyFax 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
