BANGKOK (NNT) - PTT group has launched the "One Breath (Lom Hai Jai Diao Kan)" campaign, which is a state–private collaboration in opening a screening unit and field hospitals to help ease the COVID-19 crisis.

 

PTT chairman Thossaporn Sirisumphand said the PTT group combined forces with the Public Health Ministry, the Institute of Urban Disease Control, the National Health Security Office and medical alliances such as state hospitals and private hospitals to help curb the pandemic as well as ease the economic situation.

 

He said the end-to-end field hospitals under this campaign aims to help cut death rates and help Thailand end this pandemic as soon as possible.

 

According to Mr Thossaporn, these fully systemized field hospitals will help to ease the bed scarcity problem in Bangkok. Furthermore, the equipment used in this medical system was invented and pioneered by PTT.

More trumpet blowing instead of real help like test kits and Vaccines,

Read the headline and expected something new. Then several other topic headlines 'Thailand projects doubling of coronavirus infections next month' and 'Prominent Thai Doctor say lockdown measures aren't working etc' makes me think that no-one knows anything, good or bad. Just keep safe, get on with life and if I get it...tough.

I understand the real need for more hospital beds in the current situation.

 

But I don't think they can ever outrun the virus by adding more beds, until/unless they do other things to cut down on the growth of new cases and resulting hospitalizations. Which means more/faster vaccinations and more serious measures to enforce social distancing.

 

Without those, I think they're always going to be behind the curve no matter how many field hospitals they can muster.

Yet, not a peep of instilled and mandated mitigation protocol.....it's been known to work.

Quite successful for a year and then went bust.
