snoop1130 Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 BANGKOK, Aug 26 (TNA) – The rates of hospital bed occupancy among COVID-19 patients of all color codes fell while officials were closely monitoring the number of red-coded patients in Bangkok, according to the Department of Medical Services. Dr. Somsak Akasilp, director-general of the department, said the number of the patients who recovered and were discharged from hospitals was growing to about 20,000 per day and the management of hospital beds highly improved especially that for yellow-coded patients. Officials were trying to limit the number of red-coded patients at 1,000 in intensive care units in Bangkok.

ikke1959 Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 If that is such a good news, why are there still people dying at home or waiting for many days to get a bed??? Now the peak is over everyone could be hospitalized.... or are the cases more thann the official numbers?? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soikhaonoiken Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Of course bed occupancy is reducing, because patients are being sent home to recover, doesn't take a scientific brain to work this out.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gsxrnz Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 If they conk out of hospital space I know a fantastic location that would probably fit 100,00 + beds, has great logistics for food, parking and emergency vehicle access, it's own emergency services team, is fully air conditioned, and totally vacant now and the foreseeable future - it's known as Suvarnabhumi.

sapson Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Isnt the policy now to discharge patients who are feeling better and able to function without an oxygen tank. They are now not subject to a covid test before being sent home........so that frees up hospital beds for the people they infect by going home untested.

Jumbo1968 Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Stop hospitalising every one who tests positive and that will free up hundreds of beds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
