placeholder Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 According to an article in the Bangkok Post, yellow cases (moderate to severe symtpms are on the rise and being moved out of standard hospitals and into field hospitals. Green patients are being sent home to quarantine. No mention is made of ICU occupancy rates. I assume they're rising. Does anyone have any other solid information to contribute?

The Hammer2021 Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 If they are moderate to severe surely they need to be in a real hospital not a field hospital? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yellow is moderate, not severe. But moderate apparently means lung problems. According to the article, these patients need oxygen and regular xrays. Also staffing requirements are a lot more demanding. Roughly 25 times as many doctors and nurses. Edited October 22, 2021 by placeholder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In other word for every 250 patients evaluated as green you would need the same number of doctors and nurses as you would need for 10 covid patients evaluated as yellow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
