COVID surge in Chiang Mai prompts expansion of field hospital and appeal for donations of consumables

[Jonathan Fairfield]

 

Thailand’s northern province of Chiang Mai is running short of ambulances, to bring those with COVID-19 to the field hospital,which was recently set up at the international trade exhibition centre, as the number of new infections surges.

 

According to the provincial health office, 186 new cases were recorded today (Saturday), raising the total to 450 in just 48 hours. The field hospital can currently only accommodate 240 patients, split between male and female.

 

Workers are racing against time to increase the number of beds to 500, and then 1,000, if there are more infections.

"appeal for donations of consumables"

Isn't the government supposed to provide those?

[brommers]

<deleted>! Anutin assured the nation that it was fully prepared for all eventualities, so why must private business and individuals donate consumables. This is nothing less than begging.

Looking at that photo in OP... if you weren't infected at the time you went in, you surely would be by the time you leave...

Appears that the excrement has hit the fan.

 

Lockdown imminent?

Richard Barrow just tweeted 281 in Chiang Mai today.  The Real Covid 19 surge might be7 to 10 days after Songkran.  Yesterday I canceled my flight to BKK in early May.  Thai Smile just replied that my request for a refund has been rejected???  I put the reason for refund request was Covid 19.  Oh well TIT.  I expect bigger and bigger numbers in the days ahead.  To all, Stay Safe.

to the field hospital, which was recently set up

From the photo, how awful having to live in such quarantine conditions, especially at night whilst trying to sleep with all the snoring, farting, grunts and coughs!!

Begging for the basics to run a field hospital. Anutin and his cronies should hang their heads in shame. Oh, wait, they have no shame, let the plebs care for themselves as we are safe and happy in our 5 star isolation mansions.

Good luck with getting any money back from Thai Smile. I had a flight booked with them just before New Year. They cancelled the flight and I am still trying to get my money back. A bunch of crooks.

I'm thinking they'll need a whole lot more beds.  Wifey want's to go to Chiang Mai tomorrow.  Think I'll talk her out of that idea.  It's a good time just to hunker down.
