Thread: No one answered PM Prayut Chan-o-chas calls to Covid-19 hotlines

No one answered PM Prayut Chan-o-cha’s calls to the country’s Covid-19 hotlines. The prime minister is now ordering more staff to work for both the 1668 and 1669 Covid-19 hotlines to make sure calls don’t go unanswered. There is now an official LINE account primarily for Covid-19 patients requesting hospital beds after the hotlines were “overwhelmed” with callers, a spokesperson said.


After both of his calls to the hotlines went unanswered, Prayut says he wants to look into how the hotlines are managed.


“I tried both numbers, but nobody answered. I want to find out if this is because there are too few health personnel manning the lines, or if they are too busy tending to patients in hospitals.”


With the recent wave of infections at a record high with more than 18,000 active cases, more than doubling the last wave’s peak, hospitals have turned down Covid patients due to a shortage of beds. Recent reports say some Covid patients have been denied a ride in an ambulance. Prayut says he wants both problems to be dealt with immediately.


“I want the Public Health Ministry to urgently deal with this problem. I can’t accept the fact that entire families are getting infected because they are being denied medical help.”


A spokesperson for the Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration said at a recent press conference that there are thousands of calls made to the 2 hotline numbers and not enough people to answer.


Covid-19 patients seeking a hospital bed can send a LINE message to @sabaideebot with their name, lab results, ID number, telephone number and address.

I can’t accept the fact that entire families are getting infected because they are being denied medical help.

You've gotta laugh at his fucking nerve, haven't you?

Dodgy from the top down! If the locals can get no help where does that leave foreigners who are rated somewhere between the decaying remains of a dead soi dog and the vomit from a sick buffalo???

They truly are hopeless.

The hiso Establishment and sycophants do what they always do, offer the illusion of competence, ability and modernity with all the soundbites, strap lines and modish buzz words spouted by their PR machine to sustain the fantasy but under the ever so wafer thin veneer the reality is there for all to see: a shambolic, emerging third world country, ill-resourced, with a scarcely functioning rule of law, populated in the main by poor people exploited by those who reward themselves through corruption, nepotism, cronyism, greed and deceit.

And they still haven't declared a national lockdown even though the 'R' rate is rising inexorably.

Still, they have closed the swimming pools and schools but you can still stuff your face in a public , indoor restaurant and go mall shopping all fucking day.

And still no definitive date for the rollout of the much heralded vaccine programme that to date has been said to begin in May, or June, or July, or August......or before the end of the year.

And the press were not permitted to follow Prayuth on his visit to a 'field hospital' because of .........wait for it........the need for social distancing.

What ghastly people they truly are.

And they still haven't declared a national lockdown even though the 'R' rate is rising inexorably.

at the moment thailand has the worlds highest R rate. 1.83.
