Once this is over, there must be a full an thorough public inquiry into why our government has failed so very badly.
Can you name ONE western government which funded equipment, infrastructure, staffing and supplies sufficient to meet the demands of a pandemic?

Parapac ventilator manufactured by Smiths.
£3000. Approved and works.
This is a machine intended for short term use in emergency situations. It is very limited in the functions it offers and would NOT provide adequate ventilation to a person suffering ARDS

If models can be made for much less and they do the job then fine.
What modes of ventilation would you have these cheap ventilators provide? (Hint most vents have at least 5 selectable modes)
I suggest you refrain from posting about something which you clearly have no knowledge about.

Very few people with acute respiratory distress will tolerate CPAP which involves strapping an air tight mask to a persons face.

but arguably those living off international investment income
I live on such an income and pay tax in my home country which has a 'double taxation' agreement with Thailand. If that agreement did not exist I would pay tax in Thailand

CPAP does not treat pneumonia directly, however it can reduce the work-of-breathing often seen with pneumonia and ARDS ... Near drowning patients may also have significant hypoxia and bronchospasm, both of which can be effectively treated with CPAP. With the positive effects of CPAP on non-cardiac pulmonary edema.
CPAP can increase the work of breathing as exhalation against +ve pressure requires effort as opposed to exhaling to normal atmospheric pressure which is passive ........

USA. Just come in as a tourist or sneak in.
If it is as easy as you claim why do nomads try to stay in Thailand when life would be so much simpler in the US?

Can anyone tell me if any western country allows a foreign nomad to enter, work, stay for as long as they wish and pay no tax?

Went to the Kathu one on Thursday - closed. Tried them because of easier access and supposedly less crowded than the main Phuket office.
A cleaner told us they will re-open on April 1.
Mmm - My wife renewed her ID at Kathu on Thursday

Instead, they get a completely new design, knocked up in 10 days.
Has anyone actually seen the specs this new machine?

NO - This is the type of machine people suffering from ARDS need

For those who believe ventilator is a simple bit of kit that anyone could throw together --

Anything less complex would not meet the needs of those with ARDS -

I've always had a B visa but even with that over the years (decades) it has gone from needing a simple letter from a potential employer to a very long list of requirement
Most if not all changes made by immigration were in response to gross abuse of the visa system . For example I can recall a time when Time Share touts all had ED visas

Unless a nomad can obtain a longstay visa/ extension of stay (v. unlikely) their options are limited

Since the OP just entered the country can he do his first 90 day report online? I was told that the first 90 day report after entering Thailand had to be done in person.
He is not entering the country for the first time - he entered using a reentry permit which means his details are already in the system

Just checked and discovered Singapore Airlines are not offering flights from Thailand to London. This probably applies to other destinations which are routed via Singapore

It is a CPAP device which is NOT a ventilator and will NOT treat a person with ARDS
