In collaboration with Ramathibodi Hospital, auto-making giant Yamaha has developed the prototype of a negative pressure booth for use in the detection of Covid-19 cases.

 

Pongsathorn Auamongkolchai, executive vice president of Yamaha Thailand, said the company has delivered its first such booth to Ramathibodi Hospital, adding that the company has also donated up to 100 motorcycles worth more than Bt6 million for medical personnel to use when travelling to monitor Covid-19 cases.

What a wonderful and kind gesture from Yamaha to donate these motorcycles, equivalent to 12 minutes of on air advertising on Channel 7 (rate of THB 500,000 per minute prime time).

What are you donating at the moment?

Anything I could, that would produce a higher financial benefit for myself.

Negative pressure? What is that all about.

If it's that way, then it would keep all the aerosolized virus inside the booth. So I guess whoever is supposedly infected goes in there. But how does the patient get in there without walking into the booth? Will they cut a hole in a wall and place the whole thing in the vacuum side?

I gave some $ to Centivax, for antibody research and am running folding@home from Stanford to help them get computational capacity to research the proteins. One can do little things.
