Hospital bed shortage “a crisis”

[webfact]

 

By Erich Parpart

 

Only 5 per cent remain of the hospital beds designated for Covid patients with moderate symptoms or in critical condition in the Bangkok and Metropolitan Region (BMR), the government said on Thursday.

 

“This is a crisis,” said Dr Rungruang Kitpati, spokesman for the Ministry of Public Health.

 

“More than 95 per cent of the yellow and red beds have now been filled,” he added.

In the meantime Prayut told Covid task force he did not want to see pics of Covid patients waiting for hospital beds on the street again…

Beds filled due to Prayuts inability to act, shocking situation.

Past time for him to go, all talk and no action.

A volunteer group also told Thai Enquirer that many Covid patients who are isolating themselves at home cannot register to get medical equipment, medicine, and calls with doctors as was promised by the government.

 

One of the many, many promises from this inept government that they are unable to fulfil.

Sad and pathetic, in reality.

How is he supposed to act if he is primarily busy banning disturbing images from the public, persecuting his critics and his subordinate people do not follow his orders...

A crisis that is increasing, not decreasing... but have no fear, Prayut and Anutin say it's all under their control.

It’s all your fault Pinocchio aided and abetted by “I’ve had 2 jabs” Anutin 

[ChipButty]

I read on some other news site a security guard committed suicide while waiting for a bed, in Nontaburi

[MrJ2U]

"This is a crisis,” said Dr Rungruang Kitpati, spokesman for the Ministry of Public Health."

 

No kidding.

Can you have a chat with Anutin about this.

Seams to me the "déjà vu" as in Germany where the media had the SAME headlines (and showing alarming FAKE pictures) while they ICUs and "beds" were all EMPTY!

I don't buy it!

But I do believe that suicide rates are terribly high since I know 2 friends who gave up this life!

Then, of course the panic-making continues: Well yes: the more you test the more you'll find positive.

EXACTLY the same BS as in Europe...

The crisis is the system, the leading government NOT the citizen!
