Okaaay, so closing construction camps takes care of the workers there. They will all catch Covid and no longer be infectious by the time the camps open again….kind of.

 

and the other 27 active clusters?

Yes looks to be the aim of their typical bubble and seal tactic. No need to test now, let them catch covid and get herd immunity, the sickest can be carted off to an ICU if there are any available.

Although only about 10 percent of Thailand’s adult population has had a COVID-19 jab so far, moves to find “booster” doses are already underway.

Only two brands of vaccine are currently available in Thailand, AstraZeneca and Sinovac, and both require two doses for full inoculation. However, the emergence of several variants of the virus is putting even fully vaccinated people at risk.

Hence, medical experts say it may be time for Thailand to consider providing a booster.

Not a chance those figures for Chiang Mai are remotely accurate. What is going on up there? is there no testing at all?

Troops monitor construction camps to ensure nobody heads home

 

Troops were deployed on Saturday to monitor all workers’ camps in Bangkok and its vicinity to ensure nobody escapes before the camps go under lockdown next week.

 

Worried that workers will head to their hometowns and spread the virus further, Defence Forces chief General Chalermpol Srisawat ordered troops to monitor all camps.

Oops looks like all of parliament and the senate now needs to be locked down for 14 days and then all of the staff and so on....Why are theses folks not even doing regular testing on the top government officials weekly? I guess they do not see covid as a real issue.  God forbid this brain trust one day wakes up.

Your guess is as good as mine.  Maybe there are no tests because they shipped them all to Phuket for the upcoming sandbox debacle.  You know they need 4 tests for each Tourist in a 14 day period.

Wonder if they will have enough troops to ensure they do not flee and then of course will they supply them with the same meals the construction workers will be getting.  You know that Prawit is a little tubby and could use a forced diet, but maybe he just looks fat because he has all of his watches strapped together around his mid section.

These are terrible numbers. We’ll have to see the hospital walk-in admissions to see if hospitals have capped testing.

Hospitals are not testing, people are coming in to hospitals because they are sick, they are being diagnosed as suffering from the Covid virus. Testing is only being done when a cluster emerges. There are approx 5-8,000 tests being carried out. The figures are simple 10% of all people tested are found to have Covid. Now multiply that by the number of adults nationwide and you’ll get the figure That have Covid.

69 million people, so let’s be generous, 3.5 million people will have Covid. (Not including kids).

I didn't say Sars Cov 2 was a flu I said it was a common cold virus so I don't know why you are talking about this aspect of it, if I did say it was a flu I would understand why you say this.I've heard several people refer to this as a seasonal disease especially in the colder climates where people tend to gather indoors more as they do with the flu.Again I didn't make any claim that the two viruses mutate the same way so you seem to be going off tangent somewhat.

 

 

"Cold viruses" is just a grab-bag name for different kinds of viruses.  Not all colds are caused by coronaviruses; some are caused by rhinoviruses, etc.  So when you say that SARS-CoV-2 is "a common cold virus" you're saying something that's misleading and tendentious (because it plays down the pandemic's severity) all at the same time.

 

Also, my understanding is that if you become sick with COVID-19, you won't necessarily have cold symptoms.  You may notice nothing until you find your lungs screaming and your breath coming up short as you rapidly become too weak to walk from the pneumonia.

Suicide at the field hospital?

 

Myanmar man falls to death from second floor of Bang Khun Thian field hospital

 

Officials discovered the body of a 31-year-old Myanmar national on the flooded ground floor of the 7-storey Bang Khun Thian Geriatric Hospital on Saturday.

 

Hospital staff said the deceased had contracted the virus from a cluster in Bangkok’s Asok area and had been sent to the hospital for treatment. A witness reportedly said he saw the deceased fall from the second floor to the puddle below.

The body has been sent to Siriraj Hospital for autopsy. Police have not ruled out suicide or accident for the death.

Covid-19 patient dies after waiting 1 week for ICU bed

 

As Bangkok faces a health crisis of bed shortages for Covid-19 patients, one woman died after waiting a week to be assigned an ICU bed. The woman was 38 years old from Laos and lived in Ban Krua Nuea in Bangkok. She suspected that she caught Covid-19 at her work selling clothes around Pratunam Market.

This does clarify what "camps shut down" means. Want to bet how many workers had a heads up, or spotted something that suggested the arrival of soldiers, and took off ?

But Anutin stated months ago, that the people were not to worry, as Thailand had the 5 th best Medical Care Facilities in the World.

If that is the case, where are they, and why are they not being wheeled out right now while the case loads are fairly small.

4000 / Day is still a small case load IMO, after the many Thousands per Day the UK, US Etc have experienced.

Only 4000 per Day, and the system is falling apart already.

What is it going to get like when the case loads reach 20,000 per Day

Who? Oh, you mean the health minister that some people used to listen to, before he lost 100% of the small amount of credibility he once had?

Second floor and I guess this is American English is a very survivable fall. 5 metres? This is not usually fatal. Interesting. I wonder who the witness was.

Its never published how many tests are carried out in Phuket, I've certainly never seen any pro active testing being carried out and I know of nobody who has seen them since the outbreaks at the clubs.

 

Its all very quiet on that front, minimal details given out.

You are correct because covid is not any sort of virus no wonder you can't believe you have to write that.Covid is the disease that is caused by the Sars Cov 2 virus.
