The first field hospital in Thailand’s northeastern province of Nakhon Ratchasima is scheduled to open on Thursday, to ease congestion at general hospitals.

 

Located in the Chartchai Hall building of the Chalerm Phrakiat Stadium, the field hospital is equipped with 100 beds and will accommodate COVID patients who have already spent seven days in a general hospital, with mild or no symptoms or who do not have congenital diseases and who do not require a respirator.

 

21 new COVID-19 cases, among them 14 employees of a barbecue pork shop, were recorded in the province today, raising the cumulative infections there to 144.

Real hospital beds in a field hospital, so where did they get them from? The nearest hospital who now happens to have a few wards empty?

I'd hate to end up there for 2 weeks....ugh.

I'm  impressed with the number of seats provided for spectators.

With the spacing, and where do you go to use a toilet, or where you go to eat,  these places are ripe for catching

the virus, if anyone else there has it.  A Covid petri dish is what I see.
