BANGKOK (NNT) - Prime Minister Prayut Chan-O-Cha unveiled the progress of COVID-19 patient system development by posting an update on his Facebook, assuring all patients will be admitted.

 

PM General Prayut Chan-O-Cha said there are 3 current authorities who operate the COVID-19 management system comprising 1668 by Department of Medical Services, 1669 by Bangkok Metropolitan Administration, and 1330 by National Health Security Office (NHSO) for cooperating with private hospitals.

 

Meanwhile, patients will be categorized into 3 groups which are green for patients without symptoms or mild symptoms who will be transferred to a field hospital, yellow for patients with moderate symptoms who will be admitted in a general hospital, and red for patients with severe symptoms who will be transferred to a specific hospital for specific symptoms.

 

In addition, the PM also ordered every army force to facilitate the medical sector with forces, vehicles and medical officials to firstly move remaining patients at home to medical facilities as quickly as possible.

Ahh, the great leader has spoken and clarified all confusion whilst also ordering his military minions to save the day

 

Thailand is truly blessed to have a leader of such wisdom, either that or he is just spieling drivel again....

Millions of lives could have been saved!

Damn, how could we have missed it. It has been here all along.  The way to return happiness to the people is by using smiley faces of different colors, just like our teachers put on our children's papers.  The colors show how happy they are with the work.  Green, doing great, Yellow, need to slow down, Red oh crud it's not good.  Sort of like the traffic lights here in Thailand, when they turn red time to drive on through because its all good.  Wait that's not right. Oh well.  Waiting for a hospital is killing people at home, just like running a red light. Stop the charades and game playing Prayut

great idea, get unvaccinated army forces into the mix to help spread the virus 

 

 

why did you send all those thousands of doses of vaccine to Phuket - it is becoming obvious that frontline staff should have had priority and the army who are about to be drafted into the mire - oh that's right - you wanted to get tourism up and running ASAP - never mind the sick and dying across the country.

 

it is very obvious you are out of your depth Mr Prayuth and Mr Anutin

I live alone and if I have some symptoms I will stay home and avoid others until it either gets worse, but hopefully better.  No way I am going to one of the field hospitals.  No way no how.

He had to study a lot to find this smart sollution..Good work Mr Prayuth..to which University did you go to make such clever idea's??

[colinneil]

Effective management.... Well Prayut you certainly have got a sense of humour.????????????????????????????

Your management of the virus situation is just a GIANT cock up.

As a non Thai National if I test positive for Covid but have no symptoms could I go to an ASQ Hotel until I test negative? I have no symptoms right now and want to get tested to leave the country, but if I tested positive I sure as hell don't want to go to a field hospital.

Thus, in order to avoid being sent to a prison camp, sorry, Prayuth, I meant field hospital, one needs to accuse having headache, bit of sore throat and some muscle pain.

This looks like a definite case for digging in at home until we get symptoms, so to avoid these ridiculous "field hospitals", aka "prison camps"..

What happened to the "hospitels" ?

 

For those of us who view the "Field Hospitals" as intolerable......
