Hope don't reach that stage

Same here. But current trajectory indicates a distinct possibility. And we have 200,000 migrant workers.

OBS was named as one of the quarantine places. Don't know how many people are there now.

Didn't know about it

We can only do our part and hope for the best.

Negative room pressure rooms.

these only for critical cases or for all COVID patients?

 

[glockman]

Didn't know about it

It was reported as such. Together with Changi chalets, pasir ris chalets, etc.

Still count as quarantine. To prevent possible infection to family members and others.

Gan? With high pay we expect high performance.

 

[zhihau]

needed a run to clear my mind.

need to discharge non-critical patients from these gahmen hospitals- got to make room. critical non-COVID patients no choice but to stay put.

those COVID patients on recovery must be moved to EXPO, it will be like the RER in a cell, ready to pack up and exit.

In this way gahmen hospital with those pressurised rooms can be used for those critical COVID patients and those severe cases.

Is this plan sound?

 

[jw5]

Yes, this plan is sound and I think to some extent, they are already doing that.

However, the worry as you pointed out earlier, is that despite doing this, the total number of beds and the total number of ICU beds may still not be enough, as the confirmed cases increase. Hence they need to open up more places, including those mentioned in the earlier posts (not joking here). And I know there will be bleeding hearts who will object to this, but in my view, the young foreign workers will need to occupy the beds in the "less comfortable and accessible locations". I am not being heartless to them, but they did choose to work here for money. Sinkies who are born here have to be given preference.

[tanahcow]

I am looking at 14,000 beds after including gahmen hospitals, private and community hospitals, as well as the 1000 beds at EXPO.

assuming the non-COVID cases take up 50% of the beds at any one time, we are looking at some 7000 beds, while the number of active cases for COVID is standing at 5.8K now, how much buffer have we got?

Me think more impt is:
Enough nurses?

this is where 6.9 months of (medical) ns for sinkie women becum useful.
