These field hospitals should give folks an idea of the true situation as it is unfolding.  The government obviously is preparing for more cases, or are there already more cases that we have not heard about.

Look at all complete lack of medical equipment - this tells us everything we need to know about these places.

 

It's not about treatment, it's confinement.

 

Speaking of Chanthaburi, has anyone heard any updates regarding the expedition to the Chanthaburi caves where they went looking for virus samples from the local Chanthaburi horseshoe bats?

 

It's strange but there's nothing in the news about their findings in the Chanthaburi bat caves even though they went in June 2020 and it's January 2021 now. I notice that similar viruses were found in bats in Cambodia and Japan. Perhaps they're still looking?

 

Must be a nightmare to sleep on those plastic covered matrasses.

Any unlucky Farang in Chantaburi could end up in that place.

yeah, confinement in a room with 10+ beds.

Let's hope that despite dark projections, the hospital is erring on the side of caution but never gets occupied.

They're all locked in together, I've saw video clips of similar looking places in China last March / April.

If/When I'll have mild symptoms I'll just stay home and pray for the best. Two weeks in a place like that would kill be me anyway. This place doesn't seem to have airconditioners and probably only one or two toilets.

Your insurance won't cover it? That is even worse.
