Experts say construction of field hospitals necessary before hospitals overflow

 

 

Dean of the Faculty of Medicine at Siriraj Hospital, Dr. Prasit Watanapa, said today that field hospitals are necessary, especially in areas experiencing increasing numbers of COVID-19 infections. These temporary facilities are intended for asymptomatic and mild-symptoms patients, separating them from the general public.

 

Dr. Prasit said, if we do not start setting up field hospitals now, the outbreak in Thailand will get worse. He said field hospital is one of the tools for containing the outbreak, and enable the effective management of limited resources.

 

Dr. Prasit said this wave of infections appears to stem from illegal activities, such as gambling dens, and migrant trafficking, making contact tracing a challenge.

Just about says what we allknew.

The tracing Apps are Rubbish.

"These temporary facilities are intended for asymptomatic and mild-symptoms patients, separating them from the general public."

I didn't want to be first to say it.

 

 

The scariest part of this whole thing is possibility of being snatched away or family members being snatched away.  If not sick can bet you will be before long in that "facility" with couple hundred others.

What overflow?

 

The immediate situation is well under control.

 

Only 205 cases today.

 

If they can just stop testing until the Chinese vaccine arrives next month, they will have hoodwinked an entire nation...

They build those in Australia, never saw a single patient, ramped the fear up nicely though. Also Trump sent a hospital ship to New York as the hospitals were supposedly at breaking point, they sent it back as they didn't need it. Hmm.

Field hospital isolation unit...

I actually wouldn't mind self isolating in that beat down hut. Back to basics... 

I'd like to know who got the contract to build these pricey field hospitals and who are they connected to.

 

Likely they will be as useful as the UKs nightingale hospitals.

To be fair the Nightingales are a good idea for standby... problem is no-one to run them since half the NHS is on 'holiday/sick' not wanting to get infected. As for Thai hospitals overflowing, how could that ever be since they have such a good handle on things.

 

It is a great pic though; shades of Pink Floyd's A Momentary Lapse of Reason, with the beds.

 

FEMA camps in thailand, lol

 

well, so many empty hotel rooms, but .. NEED TO BUILD XYZ...

That's why most countries including Thailand don't want to be treating expats.  Thailand have  already 3 thousand Road accident injuries to content with, its the doubling effect with covid 19 and watch out for covid 119.

Wouldn't do to put low class Burmese up in empty hotels . Why, they would have to bulldoze the hotels afterwards and rebuild.

 

Besides , kickbacks to thinly spread and into the wrong hands.
