[Thaiger]

Today, Thailand’s CCSA reported new Covid-19 infections over the past 24 hours have reached 21,232 with 39 Covid-related deaths. Thai media and volunteer groups are also reporting that the availability of beds is “at a crisis point”. Photos of patients being left to wait for treatment on the street or on temple grounds are being spread around social media. Authorities insist that the situation “is under control”. They claim there are beds and medicine available and enough for the current level of Covid patients. The volunteer Facebook page ‘Survive Sai Mai’ (Sai Mai is a district in Bangkok) posted a […]

Quite right - the photos aren't accurate.

It all depends on the angle .

[kalyan]

this is the start, today we see alive people on the roads, people desperately search for hospitals. The second phase is will see bodies on the roads.

[Grumpish]

Something being stage managed to prop up the (self)importance of the CCSA? Although the being refused a test "because it was the weekend" I can believe.

Cannot believe all these white-haired people on this forum still believe these FAKE NEWS!

 

Again, like last year where they said „people would die on the Bangkok Streets“, they are showing pictures of disoriented, homeless and drunk people and argue they would be COVID-infected and COVID-death.

 

Funnily this situation with people dying on the streets and blablabla is always just the case for one day, the photoshooting day, and then the „horrible situation“ never arises again anymore.

 

But as seen by the usual COVID-paranoid sheeples like „Stonker“, this emotional mass manipulation is still working in the not so bright minds, while they think of themselves as the smartest and so well educated and caring.

Its the same in Hong Kong. They cant find room for 17000 people in a city of 7.4m. And  the standard broken hearted mother who has had to leave her baby the other side of a window. Western of course.

I can't believe that the anti-mandte, anti-Vax, Covid deniers are still spouting their crap when people are dying from both covid and non covid related causes because the hospitals are overrun with Covid patients. What is so hard for them to understand? When Omicron brought the healthcare systems in a well equipped country like Australia to the brink of collapse only a few weeks ago in spite of the high vaccination rate. Even now Australia's healthcare system is still close to the brink and you think that the climbing infection and hospitalisation rate is not having a similar effect in Thailand? It just dumbfounds me that people can be so deluded and continue to push their unfound opinions.

Yes, the people photo'd are homeless people , living on the streets .

They didnt collapse and fall on the streets , it was night time and they just were sleeping , as they do every night .

   The Western media have ceased with the scare tactics , why are the Thai media continuing with them ?

Because the Western Population doesn’t take the COVID-shit anymore, even many vaccinated people, and the Western Media doesn’t want to lose the tiny little rest of trust some people got in them.

While the Thai Population is still scared and wearing masks outdoor, so they will be even happy about the Media supporting them in their irrational fear.

39 divided by 21,232......

I wonder if the media blitz of perpetually pushing fear could possibly account for

im not a doctor, but id imagine if instead of everyone with a sniffle running to the hospital a priority was put on the vulnerable that maybe, just maybe, there would be beds available for those who actually need them.  

Might also be useful to remind the locals that vitamin D is beneficial so its recommended to put aside ones vanity and get some sun.  But then again, throughout this entire "pandemic" i have yet to see any corporate media discuss or even hint at boosting your immune system.  im not saying they are intentionally trying to keep this fear going, but i will say  if they were i dont know how they could do any better.

At this stage, it is called fanatism. For fanatics, everything is either black or white, there is nothing inbetween anymore, nothing is to be questioned, black is black, white is white and there is nothing else. And when facing rational people, for whom logically, rationally, humanly nothing is either only black or white so everything needs to be questioned (what is wrong with that?), reality comes out and all you see is hate and a wall of intolerance. That's the way it has always worked for example with religions. But the mean used to get to that stage with masses is always the same, propaganda, only the propaganda messages are now delievered by the mainstream media. For fanatics, all is said by mainstream media has to be true, can only be true, not and ever to be questioned. And if you (rightly) do, you are the bad guy. How ironic...

I advice anyone to read the best book in my opinion on the subject by Noam Chomsky : "Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of the Mass Media". But I guess fanatics would never read a book like that (shame), it would shake their beliefs therefore their confort zone, and the eventuality that the world is not all either only black or white is simply unbearable for them.
