Just noticed that the new Field hospital they reported yesterday thats being set up at Suvarnabhumi Airport for 5,000 beds, its also going to include ICU's:

 

"The building consists of four stories and up to 216,000sqm of space. The first floor will accommodate at least 5,000 beds for COVID-19 patients while the second floor will be utilized as an intensive-care unit. The third and fourth floors are expected to accommodate patients with mild or no symptoms."

 

But where are all the staff, doctors and nurses coming from????

 

https://coconuts.co/bangkok/news/5000-beds-will-land-at-suvarnabhumi-airports-new-terminal-turned-covid-hospital/

 

Yea, it will be something thrown together for a photo op with rows of neatly made beds. No way it’s a proper functioning hospital in the true sense of the word. And 5k beds takes care of the next 3 days worth of (net) new patients. Where do the rest go?

I said that the day only 5383 cases were announced was probably an artifact because of a backlog in lab processing, and the next day would be much higher.

 

Was i wrong?

Then i was not awake my mistake. I thought you implied that cases were low and would get lower. Must not have been clear yes you were right though i like to be sure that what your saying is the truth. Anyway its not going well.

Were you not saying yesterday was an artifact ? Can it be an artifact when today is substantially higher... Would you be wrong again this time ?

All of his posts however are truly artifacts as they will be around for a long time to be used against his current words.

Glad I hoofed it to Phuket months ago...de minimus cases here.

As far as you know, and so far to date.

 

I wouldn’t crow too loudly just yet, but I can see that it’s still a lot better than being in bangkok or pattaya.

In today's Guardian there's a frightening report from Indonesia. And it's a sobering warning of what awaits Thailand if things are allowed to drift.

https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2021/jul/08/covid-surge-pushes-indonesias-health-system-to-the-brink

Yes read that article earlier.

Don't quite understand why many references to India etc in these threads re Delta. We only need to follow situation in Indonesia to foresee what may happen here.

 

On side note folk might like to read article from Reuters re sinovac and sinophram

Nakhon Ratchasima locks down entire village after Covid-positive woman hosts party to celebrate being freed from prison

 

Nakhon Ratchasima province on Wednesday prohibited all travel to and from Ban Pong Khok village in Serngsang district’s Nonsomboon subdistrict until July 20 after the district chief reported that three persons in a family tested positive for Covid-19, leading to fears of a new cluster with 36 people from 22 households being classified as high risk.

Stupid is as stupid does, and looks like she believed the risk was worth it.  If someone she infected dies then she should be charged with criminal negligence.

He is special and not like the other world leaders who were infected or possibly infected.  In essence "He is the Man" and can do what he pleases...look at the shape of the country because of his "It will be what it will be" statement.

I would be worried that the numbers and cases are not being reported as they should be in Phuket, and this is in light of the ministers who flew back from Phuket being on a flight with another person who was returning from Phuket and was found to be positive for the virus.

These are low numbers and do not reflect post Songkran numbers. What you have posted was pretty much the situation for much of the early part of this year. Numbers started rising during and after Songkran. Source: Worldometer

My point was that there were already hundreds of cases in Isaan prior to Songkran.

 

Despite the reports of a million+ Bangkok residents going to Isaan over Songkran, the results were only a small number of new infections in Isaan during the next month. Even in May, there were small numbers of cases in Isaan.

 

The big surge in Isaan came much later, especially with the Delta variant.

Yep, for sure Phuket was required to keep cases low for sandbox purposes and took the necessary action to ensure that was the case. 
 

with the number of people testing positive on planes that fly in and out, how can there be next to no cases in the general population? It beggars belief.

Isn't it more likely that they brought the virus with them rather than caught it in Phuket?

[wensiensheng]

by way of comparison. Singapore has used Pfizer and Moderna and now has excess vaccine available for its citizens. Unfortunately I can’t get there for mine without undergoing quarantine on the way in, and way back.

It could be either, but most likely both.

 

if they brought it in, then it’s here and able to be caught in Phuket by the next person. There’s no segregation.

I don't want it, nobody wants it, but short of a serious lockdown, I do not see how these numbers are going to do anything other than continue to rise.

What’s going to stop/slow this way, way down is a robust vaccine program period. If people aren’t vaccinated (with a real vaccine) then the minute you reopen it will flame up again. The only thing that slowed this in the US was the vaccines and strict mask wearing.

I hope these people are successful in getting tested today, its a sad refection that those who are suffering or have a high risk of contracting the virus have to spend all night camping out to a center that does just 900 tests a day.

 

Hundreds of people wait in line nightly for COVID-19 testing at Wat Phra Si Rattana Mahathat in Bangkok. Some people started waiting at 7pm last night. Testing starts at 8.00am and the limit is 900 people per day

The possibilities are endless, but yes your view could also be correct.  However, that means that the virus was then spread in Phuket and .....well you do the math.

Here's hoping it was confined to that group of idiots that came down to Phuket on a jolly on July 1st (and possibly spread among them whilst having that little non mask wearing get together).
