BANGKOK, July 2 (TNA) – The severe shortage of hospital beds for COVID-19 patients in Bangkok will continue in the next 7-14 days, according to Deputy Public Health Minister Sathit Pitutecha.

 

After meeting representatives of the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration and medical schools on Thursday, Mr Sathit said that the shortages of hospital beds for critically ill COVID-19 patients were very serious and all concerned parties were attempting to solve the problem.

 

BMA was trying to increase beds for yellow- and red-coded patients at Bang Khun Thian and Ratchaphiphat hospitals but the increments that would start on approximately July 10 might not be enough regarding the huge backlog of people’s requests for hospital beds through hotlines 1668 and 1669, he said.

so there are already huge numbers of sick people that have been abandoned and refused treatment which also means they have not been tested 

 

this in now extremely serious

 

meanwhile Prayut is in Phuket sandpit telling people how wonderful things are in the country with photoshoots and glam - maybe he should stay there

The health system is starting to fracture, people are trying to escape Bangkok while Pryut & Co are down south sticking on a band-aid hoping 300 or so arrivals are going to save the nation.

Wait until the Delta variant hits nationwide and see how the Czar copes.

They'll also die at home and go to the local temple for burning before covid testing
