Indeed although as we also know, hospitals are getting overwhelmed and in many cases positive cases are being asked to quarantine at home for a few days until beds are found for them, this from your previous post a couple of days ago, so no doubt the shortage has increased since then 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TallGuyJohninBKK Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Daily COVID vaccinations report from the MoPH... The first chart below shows total doses administered, along with the subtotals for first and second shots. Daily vaccinations have slowed significantly over the Song Kran holidays. The Khaosod English news website reported that vaccinations thus far have covered only 0.88 percent of Thailand's population. In the following chart, the first column shows new vaccinations for the most recent day, first shot in red and second shot in purple. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThailandRyan Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 It is getting very tenuous with hospitals being now needed for the more serious cases and the field hospitals obviously beginning to be in more of a demand. Wish someone in authority would pull the trigger or hit the big red button and get things going as far as vaccinations nationwide. On top of that they need to try and reassure the country they are making changes to help them. Instead no sound or firm decisions made and folks still all over the place spreading the virus as they continue to travel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TallGuyJohninBKK Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 It sounds like the official announcement/decision on further lockdown type restrictions on various provinces including Bangkok is not going to be made until a subsequent briefing this afternoon. https://www.facebook.com/thailandprd/posts/4176821269007922 Re some questions above: --I haven't seen any update from the MoPH in several days on hospital bed availability/utilization stats. --re the government's plans for enlisting hotels into a new quarantine type program for COVID positive cases, to provide an alternate kind of hospitalization, they've been talking a lot about plans for that... But I haven't seen any of those projects announced as yet as actually being in operation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad but true. Luckily we are not quite there yet in Thailand, and based on some unknown miracle for the last year's fatality numbers, we might be lucky again. (it is a mistery to me, with people like Anutin in charge). ???? Edited April 16, 2021 by BookShe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
