Though its name suggests it has closer links with communities upcountry, the Rural Doctors Society (RDS) is now a hero to Bangkokians after it stepped up to battle the raging outbreak in the capital.

 

Since mid-July, RDS teams have launched three missions in Bangkok to provide residents, especially the vulnerable, quick access to COVID-19 tests, drugs for those who test positive, and knowledge on how to protect themselves.

 

As of August 17, Thailand’s COVID-19 caseload stood at 948,422 infections and 7,973 deaths. The capital has been in the Dark Red zone of high infections for several weeks.

I've learned that "Fighting Corruption" in Thailand only means "trying to grab a slice of the cake myself" .
