Thailand’s state hospitals told to prepare for surge in COVID-19 infections

[snoop1130]

 

An urgent directive has been issued by Public Health Permanent Secretary Kiattibhoom Vongrachit to all state hospitals, instructing them to prepare spare beds, equipment, medication and manpower to cope with a potential new wave of COVID-19 infections.

 

According to the directive, more COVID-19 infections have been detected lately and more patients are being admitted to hospitals.

 

Under the directive, all hospitals must advise their personnel to protect themselves and be prepared to cope with more patients, including spare beds, especially for severe cases, and to prepare for the transfer of some severely ill patients to other hospitals, which are better equipped to deal with them.

nope, not a lot of people are still wearing them, mostly foreigners are without masks and when asked to use one, they move somewhere else

Hey why isn't the Alpha, Beta or Delta variants not around, it seems that a lot less people are

dying, and other are thinking that COVID is just nonsense now.    Maybe if some carriers with

the original 3 variants start spreading them around, we can be a bit more serious.

 Weren't them the good old days?

Sarcasm alert.

Get vaxxed and boosted and cut down on  serious cases and hospitalizations.

Except cases had been surging in the UK for a couple of weeks before Glastonbury.

Of course , certainly till after the elections. After all they have to keep the protesters of the streets and the state of emergency needs to be extended again and again.

During the height of Delta I could name about 5 households around me that had infections at some point in time..

now it would be easier to name the ones that haven't.
