Thailand is following the UK playbook.  

There's big money in emergencies.

 

In my town of approx 80,000 there have been a grand total of 244 people who have had 'Covid' added to their death certificates (and 192 who died within 28 days of a positive test).   A year and 3 months into this deadly pandemic.

 

 

 

 

 

Spoken like an under 30 year old!

Virus is spread by air transmission. Note cruise ships, hotels with central air con and how virus spread there. Curtains that don't reach ceiling or floor are about as effective as wearing a mask that doesn't cover your nose.

Every hospital has those. Curtains

Pop false positive and you'll be positive for sure once incarcerated.

I've already had COVID, according to the link in this thread I'm immune now.

They wil soon change policy as they will need the field hospitals for the very sick and the dying.  The alternative will be to leave them at home as is happening in many cases already.

Maybe immune to the variant that infected you, but I wouldn’t visit South Africa if I were you.

That field hospital with the easy to clean plastic bed. Sure does not look too comfy,

more like a prison bed.

These ''fields hospitals'' have of the hospital only the name

there is no any medical equipemnt in any of them

in reality it's obvious they are retention camps

 

In these overcrowded conditions in a closed and very small area

if someone in the crown of the detained is infected with one of the new variants of the virus it could be quickly a carnage

 

When i think at all the empty hotels wich could be used (On the same model as the ASQ)

 

Just out of curiosity these ''fields hospitals'' are mixed or there are

some for the men and some for the girls? And where the ladyboys go?

With the girls or the boys?

The field hospitals appear to be empty. They look as empty as the field hospitals that were set up in the USA, and the ship Trump sent to NYC. 
 

I wonder how exactly they “treat” cases? Back in my day they treated the sick who had symptoms.

Asymptomatic should be allowed to quarantine and recover at home.
The government considers the commoners to be untrustworthy and in need of incarceration so their whereabouts can be forcefully contained.
Some are untrustworthy, most would adhere to government mandates to stay where they are.  This is about micromanagment by an authoritarian government.  They are starting to pay for their micro-Mismanagement too.  Those who are truly sick can't find beds while asymptomatic clog up the works. 
Power junkies don't make good leaders.  They should collectively resign and allow competent doctors and leaders to lead the way through the crisis which Prayut and his cronies have made a total mess beginning with allowing those from Covid Red Zones to spread Covid across the entire country during Songkran, not to mention not order sufficient vaccines, and simply not being prepared.  They'll shift the blame to the little people and commoners.  Fearless leader should dust off his cardboard cutout and load up his bottle of alcohol spray.

Everyone in there has tested positive.  Only the medical staff need protecting.

 

 Is it correct that there are 15% false positive test results? So if you are part of that 15%, this sort of set up should assure that you will get the virus...

I wonder what the temperature in these field hospitals is, given this is the hottest part of the year. Any chance you get heat stroke?
