Does anybody know the name of the cardboard manufacturer of these beds as I wish to invest in this company, subject to to them being publicly quoted on the SE.

I wouldn't bother trying, I'm sure all the kick backs would have already been allocated!

Phuket Sandbox infections were ‘expected’

 

PHUKET: Phuket Sandbox tourists testing positive for COVID-19 was expected and the infections will not stop after opening 12 days so far, Phuket Provincial Public Health Office (PPHO) Chief Dr Kusak Kukiattikoon has said.

 

“The Sandbox tourists who have tested positive include one from UAE, three from Myanmar, one from South Africa, and one from Switzerland. They have been fully vaccinated with various brands, such as Pfizer, Moderna, Sinopharm and others,” Dr Kusak said at a press conference held at the EOC Command Center yesterday (July 12).

 

“For now, none of the high-risk contacts [associated with the Sandbox infected] have tested positive,” he said.

You have to laugh at the sheer audacity these people have. Expected, yes and so is the removal to quarantine of people near a positive vaccinated person.  This needs to go worldwide in the news.

I got slaughtered for saying that.

Perhaps you forgot to add a liberal lashing of sarcasm and failed to direct it at hypocrisy.

You're in for a long, long wait if you believe cases will ever get to double digits. 

Please quote me where I said I believe numbers will get down to double figures. I said that's what needs to happen. I do think it's possible but not the way this mob of morons run things. As it is I would think middle to late next year. Dependant on many things of course such as vaccines keeping up with new and possibly worse variants and someone with brains running the country not the fool that's at the top now.

No they're not, these are "isolation centre beds".No wonder they ran out of hospital beds they changed the description.Is this an admission of failure instead of and admission into a hospital?

Of course it is.  Failure to the Nth degree.

Very long queue outside the Thupatemi Stadium in Pathum Thani's Lam Luk Ka district for free #COVID19 swab tests. 500 out of 1,500 tests to be conducted today will be of the Rapid Antigen method. All the 1,500 slots were fully booked up by 9am this morning. #Thailand

If they were negative before they arrived there, they will likely be positive in a few days. That kind of lining up and crowding just smacks of stupidity.

Wonder which politicians cousins own the cardboard factory and electrical goods retailer.

The major rollout of vaccines happened recently so most of the doses are still 1st dose due to the 12 weeks between AZ doses I'd wager.

Yes, we noted that earlier. But also noted that a lot of sinovac has been given and the earliest jabs would now be within the 2nd jab time period.

 

anyway, the next week or so should see a significant ramp up in 2nd jabs, or something is wrong.

The D man is changing his tune.

 

 

“As an example, until recently, the number of hospital walk-in admissions was predictive of future near term case numbers.

 

Now the official numbers are telling us that hospitals are nearing absolutecapacity.”

 

now he says hospital walk in’s don’t predict future case numbers, and hospitals are nearly full.

 

of course, he never said those things before anyway 5555.

 

If you think that my opinion has changed, it is a reading comprehension issue on your part. 

 

I am simply saying that the system is so saturated that not so many people can be admitted. Rising numbers of admissions are predictive of future near term case numbers unless hospital admissions are reduced due to capacity issues.  This is happening now, and will be true until and unless more beds are created. 

 

Yeah, I have to write this a few times a day until some people understand. Maybe I should write more slowly.

It’s always pictures of unused facilities with neatly made beds and no trash lying around. Within a week I bet that place looks like a bomb has hit it and stinks to high heaven.

Why are they doing that? Every day thousands of people get admitted, so the hospitals aren’t full. Are they?

 

5555

Hospitals are nearing the max number of new patients they can squeeze in.
