Bangkok Business News quoted the assistant Covid-19 spokesman who updated reporters at Government House yesterday as saying that people who were in high risk of contracting the diease could soon be allowed into state quarantine facilities.

 

Dr Apisamai Srirangsan had been giving details of the nation's latest Covid figures and especially news of clusters in Bangkok associated with offices and parties. 

 

She has said that the CCSA are looking into the possibility of allowing some people who would otherwise quarantine at home to be allowed to volunteer to quaratine in state facilities. 

 

These people by reason of their living conditions might find it hard to avoid contracting the disease at home and would be better protected if looked after in state quarantine.

It has taken  government too long to understand this. Covid19 is primarily a disease of the poor and the physically weak. The poor are crowded in homes, and work the jobs that put them most at risk with close proximity to others in unsanitary conditions like in slaughterhouse, food processing, factory and even client service like 7-11.  We cannot ask people to physically distance when they live 4+ to a room  and many share  1 toilet and 1 communal eating place with limited access to good hygiene.

Government finally recognizes  what needed to be done long ago. And Thailand is not alone on being late.

Most likely it will just be a Hole in the Ground with maybe ( if lucky ) a Thai squat Unit placed over the top.

When full, dig a new one and move the Tin shed that covers it to its new location. Top out old one with Earth.
