And what does that tell you?That they haven't been forthright with the numbers?

Well, we know from the past that hospital ICU's weren't being stressed. So clearly the situation is a lot worse now than it has been.

The new figures

Holy cow that is a tremendous jump in cases.  That is because of the prison cases being added.  Will be nice to see the actual breakdown when it appears.  Stay safe folks.

They only reported the prison deaths because of the protester that was realeased.

 

What else aren’t they telling us about?

That maybe the case,but that doesn't answer the question,either this is a daily increase from tests recently taken or they have been holding back on reporting the true number of infections taking place on a daily basis.It also appears the situation is worse than has been reported as some have been suggesting.

Given that hospital ICU units are fast approaching full capacity, I'm afraid the trend of your thoughts is an accurate one.

At the current rate, provincial hospitals will reach capacity in about 3 weeks, assuming no more beds are made available. 

 

What this means is that rumors about filled hospitals in the provinces should not be taken seriously at this time.

(New York) – People held in Thailand’s overcrowded prisons and detention facilities are at grave risk from Covid-19 outbreaks, Human Rights Watch said today. The Thai authorities should immediately act to ensure that prisoners and detainees have access to adequate protective measures and health care. The authorities should swiftly reduce overcrowding by releasing people who do not pose a serious and concrete risk to others.

On May 12, 2021, Thailand’s Corrections Department announced that 1,795 inmates in Bangkok Remand Prison and 1,040 in Central Women’s Correctional Institution had tested positive for the virus that causes Covid-19. In addition, hundreds of people detained in provincial prisons such as in Chiang Mai and Narathiwat have reportedly tested positive for the novel coronavirus.

And only publish it when they had no choice due to all the high profile cases popping up.

And I believe that if it were not for " Rung " the young Female Activist who has just been released, these outbreaks in the Jails would still be hushed up.

If provincial hospitals are 19 days away from being filled, as of today, then, by definition, they are not filled today.

Do you mean you can't wait to see how they spin this one?They can't really say they are old cases because that might give the impression they've been hiding the infections.Diddling the digits so to speak.Now I know what that sweeping noise I was hearing is.

You can't mean the big rug was lifted and stuff that had been swept under it has escaped.....gasp, ack, ugh.  Ugly is what it is as well as reprehensible.

If you actually read the article, Bang Lamung hospital is not full. Only the Covid ward is full, or it Was filled on April 15.

Your cherry picking again.  This OP is on Covid. Ergo if it's discussed that the hospitals are full it means, well to those of us who understand it, that the covid units are full.  The rest of the hospital may not be but they can not take in more covid patients.  Is that agreeable to you.

Showing your ignorance again..............

 

Covid patients only ever go into covid wards, all hospitals have empty wards for patients...........................the term hospital full when referring to covid infections is pretty clear to everyone but not you it seems, no surprise there then.

 

Fancy another prediction on this new peak? You were pretty adamant last time saying there would be no more.......it was over.

Pattaya ICU, Covid-19 beds nearly full

Hospital beds and ventilators are running out for serious Covid-19 patients in Banglamung as cases continue to pile up...

Banglamung District Chief Wutisak Singhadecho said all ventilator beds at Banglamung Hospital are full and all of Pattaya Hospital’s 20 Covid-19 beds are occupied. The area has three “hospitels” – hotels used to house Covid-19 patients with minor symptoms – with 300 beds, but 160 of those are now full.

https://www.pattayamail.com/news/pattaya-icu-covid-19-beds-nearly-full-353069

If you have no free ventilators, I would say that the hospital is severely stressed.

Yes it would be of course, when we are all on topic talking about covid you decide to talk about normal patients, how convenient and how can you possibly know how stressed the situation is in within the covid wards?

Guessing your covid focus has more to it than peoples general health, Perhaps point scoring here.Have you never noticed hospitals delaying non critical cases in an emergency situation? Not the case as I noted.

However this OP is regarding Covid, not general hospitalization for other reasons. Don't derail the OP.

Yes my focus is covid, the same as this thread and the pandemic we are currently in, if you'd like to talk about the tragic road deaths or other illness's then I suggest you start a new thread.

Perhaps you should follow local news re Pattaya cases declining might give you a hint. Lowest in a month reported yesterday.

Yes I follow that and they've also cut back on testing pro activily, the Pattaya News even made that remark a few days ago that the figures reduced at the same time testing reduced, although they are going to start again soon.
