Although a one day slight decrease is totally meaningless in the grand scheme of things. You are too generous to people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably the creation of these “beds” is how they keep adding people into the hospital system everyday. No. Hospital walk in admissions are just that. People who go to the hospital because they feel ill, and are then admitted as symptomatic. 17 minutes ago, Bkk Brian said: The government has started doing Rapid Antigen testing at three locations today with a fourth on Wednesday. Today they expect to process 1,000 tests per location (results in 30 minutes) but this will be increased to 10,000 tests per day for the four locations ( Nation Photo) https://twitter.com/ThaiNewsReports/status/1414378251875536904 I believe that a positive result from such a test does not create a “case”. What happens is that anyone testing positive must then be confirmed by a RT-PCR test. Edited July 12, 2021 by Danderman123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TallGuyJohninBKK Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 (edited) fyi, this morning at 9 am is supposed to be the opening of a new round of COVID vaccination appointment registrations for foreign nationals age 60 and above and those with chronic medical conditions via a website of Phyathai II hospital in Bangkok... "Phyathai 2 Hospital Pre-registration: 12-16 July from 09.00-12.00 hours only (via phyathai2international.com) Vaccination Period: 19-30 July 2021 (except weekends)" I had trouble accessing the website just now, getting browser security errors, before finally being able to get thru, and seeing the registration notice info still listed there on the hospital's website. https://phyathai2international.com/ However, I also noticed the now updates-only government Intervac website has an update saying that COVID vaccine registrations at Samitivej Hospital in BKK already have been closed. "Samitivej Sukhumvit Hospital (The hospital has fully booked. The next pre-registration will be open in August)" https://www.thailandintervac.com/ Edited July 12, 2021 by TallGuyJohninBKK 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ye doom mongerers really are desperate for bad news. Nice snipe. any proactive thoughts or opinions? Does today’s fall herald a turning point? Do you think cases will continue to fall? Has the government got to grips with measures that will make a positive difference? let’s hear from you some decent opinions, with well thought out reasoning. It would be nice to hear an argument that ignites some optimism. or just keep making silly comments. It’s up to you. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ThailandRyan Posted July 12, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 12, 2021 (edited) Story now playing on the MCOT news relating that foreign nationals, namely Myanmar folks and such are being required to pay to be vaccinated now as well as having to pay for any and all medical treatment. Sure glad my GF has a PCH health policy and the Roojai Covid insurance to cover her, but she still will have to pay to be vaccinated. Most of these workers make 300 baht a day, and having to pay the requested money for a vaccination will take a half month of work wages.......just ludicrous. Only Thais will get the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines for free. Edited July 12, 2021 by ThailandRyan 5 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
