So the swamped hospital patients are not so sick that they should be admitted to the nearby ‘unswamped’ Pattaya Hospitals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gottfrid Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 (edited) Makes one wonder if they calculate recoveries on a weekly basis and infections on a daily. Doesn´t stand anything about that, does it? ???? When there is information about a certain day, only infections and recoveries stands in the fat sentence.

The release from hospital is merely the first step in a long process of self isolation ,monitoring, testing ,home quarantine and if moving provinces the quarantine home isolation requirement starts all over again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah! But is says recovered. If recovered and one can't be half recovered so it must mean fully recovered why is this necessary? You are either recovered or not. Being that these measures are in place it can only mean that patients are being released from hospital care not fully recovered and hence to label these people as recovered is simply not the case. I have posited before that recoveries and I believe these to be true recoveries ran at about 50% of admissions. From this one can postulate then that from the 'new' recovered numbers around 50% are indeed not fully recovered and to label them as such is pure deception. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new facility, known as Busarakham Hospital, is located at the Challenger Hall in Muang Thong Thani, Nonthaburi province. It is manned with 780 medical personnel, who will take turns operating there. In the initial stage, the hospital has 1,092 beds, and the capacity can be expanded to 5,000 beds. The setting up of the new facility is intended to provide quick treatment to COVID-19 cases in order to reduce the number of deaths and serious illness. https://thailand.prd.go.th/mobile_detail.php?cid=4&nid=11234 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you and your wife both only Lao citizens? If you're a citizen of a Western country, you should check the vaccine eligibility policy for your country. In Canada and the US at least, the vaccines are plentiful and anyone is eligible regardless of nationality or legal status. Mandatory quarantines are a pain if your destination country requires one, but if you can stay at <destination> for 3-4 months, you might be able to ride it out long enough that Thailand changes their entry requirements. And anyway, there's quality of life to consider as well. I flew back to Vancouver last week and am enjoying the quality of life improvement since there are significantly fewer restrictions here now - don't even have to wear a mask anymore! ????. And Thailand will get there too, but it might be a few months yet. Just something to consider. Edited August 21, 2021 by The Cipher 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent news and great effort by all those Nurses and front line volunteers. https://covidvax.live/en/location/tha Agree on the effort; 2,226,326 doses administered over the past 4 reporting periods. But... Those with Sinovac 2X will require a third shot, or so the "authorities" tell us. So the 70% figure, 50 mm people with 100 mm actually becomes ~ 125 mm doses. And that Feb date assumes a decent supply of vaccine and willing patients, and maintaining the current rate, which seems challenging. Supplies of AZ and SV and SPh are limited.

The hospital process for infected patients is very elaborate with lung, oxygen and PCR tests. Only after patients are tested negative they allowed to be released. They also required to be self isolate for about 10 days as a precaution. Don’t think hospitals will release still infected patient and face possible lawsuit or bad PR should the infected patient caused negative repercussion. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to second what Dinsdale posted. "Release" is not the same thing as "recovered". Once again, in my opinion, another sleight-of-hand with the statistics. Call those who have been released "recovered", and don't count those with positive antigen tests. Separate those in the prison system.

mikesalaugh Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Rapid test are not included in the offcial number - but - these people need to take another PCR test the next day (or 2 or 3 days) and if positive then will be included in the following days figures as confirmed cases. Are people missing this part of the equation they harp on about rapid tests being invalid and not taken into account in official numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
