Popular Post webfact Posted June 28, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 28, 2021 Picture: INN Health officials in Yala in the far south of Thailand are battling Covid-19 infections that have shot past 1,000 and are rising at up to 200 a day, reported INN. Field hospitals are full and using schools is not practical as staff have returned to them even if they are not open. So Dr Matcharan Taleh said they had hit on the idea of renting large rafts used in the tourism industry. Picture: INN They suited the requirements perfectly as there were no tourists and the rafts - situated on the Bang Lang Dam - were well away from other people. They could be kitted out with things like beds and fans and necessary equipment and cater to 40 people in quarantine on each boat. They are being rented from the owners for 2,500 baht a night to provide extra field hospital capacity. -- © Copyright Thai Visa News 2021-06-28 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richard_smith237 Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 What are they planning ? When infections get out of hand, float these boats out to sea ???? The idea of these ‘isolation facilities’ (in this case boats) if flawed.... Hospitals in Bangkok are now reportedly full and refusing to do Covid-19 tests as they have no more beds. Hospitals are for people who ’need’ treatment !!!.... IF the authorities want to isolate asymptomatic people, do so in a hotel. Or, just tell people who have tested positive without symptom to isolate at home and put in place extreme penalties for breaking that isolation. Of course, not water tight, but nothing is. But, filling up hospitals with healthy people and placing people on those rickety boats is potentially unsanitary best and dangerous at worst.

Karma80 Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Ah Thailand. Where you only do as many covid tests as you have space to throw people into a hospital / third world river barge. Have to stay because you have asymptomatic covid. Leave with dengue courtesy of the mosquitos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
