BANGKOK, April 28 (TNA) – The Erawan emergency medical service center of the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration already arranged for hospital beds for the treatment of all untreated COVID-19 patients in the capital.

 

Silapasuay Raweesangsoon, permanent secretary of BMA, said the Erawan center and partners sent to hospitals the 133 COVID-19 cases who had waited for hospital beds and the waiting list in the capital was eliminated.

 

For the time being, the center was able to send COVID-19 cases to hospitals in a real-time manner, she said.

No need for the imminent lockdown then ?

Old news, this was published at 4.07pm, hows the backlog now?

[Excel]

When you just ship victims off to another facility in another province, which they have done, I guess that solves the problem

[impulse]

That's gotta be bittersweet news for the asymptomatic patients who were stranded at home waiting for a nice quarantine space.

big sheds - cardboard boxes 

 

 

and most important - stop testing 

 

 

May I remind this person that in the west we test people - we go looking for it do not try to hide it, there is only one way you can know the spread of this virus ----- massive testing 

 

UK is probably the leader with 1 million tests per day - the rest in the west are not far behind those numbers 

 

The medical hub of Asia is doing a stellar job at vaccinating their people with probably the worst performance in the world right now

 

why ?

The backlog is that frontline staff and doctors have made their thoughts known over the last few days 

 

The pretty picture they are painting in the news are far from reality on the ground 

 

I know one person who would not be letting this happen to his people right now

Probably sending asymptomatic patients home...

In a single word.. Prayut.

[Cake Monster]

Just send all the new cases to Samut Sakon.

That will surely instill more confidence in the Public to come forward for testing.

In Europe it was and is good practice to use free bed capacity across the border.
However, to have a judgement about such practice, one would need capacity statistics by province and by hospital.
