How much is a couple of paracetamol and a blast of oxygen anyway.

From some of the videos clips getting out of Spanish hospitals, things are even worse there. When all the beds are full you are better off at home.

That is a good question. Saw a report from an italian hospital where they said 90% that they put on a respirator are dying anyway. I would prefer to fight it out at home in cambodia because there would only be my gf who could make it worse.

Cambodia’s PM HE Hints at State of Emergency as Coronavirus Cases Trend up
2020-03-25

Cambodia’s Prime Minister HE on Wednesday said he is considering requesting that King Norodom Sihamoni declare a state of emergency as the number of infections from the coronavirus neared 100 in his country.

Speaking to some 400 doctors, nurses, and volunteers in the capital Phnom Penh, HE warned that under a state of emergency, some freedoms would be curtailed, and urged human rights groups to refrain from criticizing the government.

“I am considering using article 22 of the constitution to request that the king place the country under a state of emergency,” the prime minister said.

“I don’t want to do it, but I will if my bans are not effective,” he said, referring to restrictions already put in place requiring schools and entertainment venues closed to combat the spread of the virus and the disease it causes, COVID-19.

“The constitution says that when the country is facing danger, the king can declare a state of emergency upon agreement from the prime minister, National Assembly (parliament), and the president of the Senate.”

HE’s speech came as Cambodia’s health ministry announced that the country had confirmed a total of 96 coronavirus cases within its borders, and as numbers continued to balloon worldwide, with nearly 460,000 infections that have left around 21,000 people dead.

Organizers of Wednesday’s event sat side-by-side during HE’s speech, disregarding widely practiced rules of social distancing that require people to maintain a distance of six feet (two meters) from one another to prevent viral spread.

HE said that those who volunteer to fight the outbreak will only be deployed once they can be provided with enough protective equipment, adding that any retailers who practice price gouging for surgical masks or other preventative items will be “shut down.”

Any foreigners in Cambodia who test positive for the virus will be treated free of charge, he said, calling it the country’s “obligation” to do so.

Responding to HE’s announcement, Yong Kim Eng, president of local NGO the People’s Centre for Development and Peace, told RFA’s Khmer Service he supports the government’s move, but cautioned against a crackdown on human rights and freedom of expression, noting that authorities have recently arrested people for allegedly disseminating “fake news” about the virus.

“We must ensure freedom of speech, especially through the media and social media platforms,” he said.
