Popular Post webfact Posted April 25, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 25, 2021 Prime Minister Prayut Chan-O-Cha / AFP A group of Thai medical professionals has issued a statement, asking the country’s prime minster to reconsider locking down the country again as a matter of urgency, citing the rapid spread of the latest wave of COVID-19 infections and fears that the medical system will collapse. The statement also criticizes the government’s management ability, saying the 1668 hotline, which is supposed to help find beds for COVID-19 patients, is an indicator that management is failing. It also said that people do not have equal access to treatment, and some are paying for that with their lives. The group also recommends that the government lift the mandate requiring any hospital detecting a new case to admit the patient. It said the order is impractical, resulting in too many people waiting for beds.

Popular Post mark131v Posted April 25, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 25, 2021 You know the wheels are starting to come off when you get burgeoning criticism from the Doctors and medical staff at the pointy end... Multiple different news reports from medics stating that people are dying and the system is failing, unfortunately I fear things are gonna get much worse 32 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with closing borders but Thailand now has more cases per day than many others. The UK had less yesterday and Burma far less so it is not the foreigners that are disease infested anymore. 11 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Dialemco Posted April 25, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 25, 2021 Thailand became too complacent by opening up entertainment venues and travelling during extended Songkran holidays. Lockdown is imminent and every effort should be made to expedite vaccination entire population starting with most vulnerable and health workers not young in tourist Islands. 11 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ThailandRyan Posted April 26, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 26, 2021 12 minutes ago, SaamBaht said: The virus can't be stopped with silly lockdowns. Health authorities can manage the situation better by ceasing all asymptomatic testing, treating patients before they are admitted with cheap, widely available repurposed drugs like Ivermectin, and protecting older people and unhealthy people. And still you do not get the fact that asymptomatic people spread the virus causing the disease, and why all should be tested if they have had contact with a person who was tested and found positive. Yes testing those that show symptoms is needed but so is testing those not showing symptoms. I am at a loss for words on your response. 3 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
