Information on Coronavirus / COVID-19 in Cambodia (Latest Updates December 2021)
Re: Information on Coronavirus in Cambodia from 8 March 2020 (Latest Updates)
On a serious side, maybe once the roads open up again it's time to move to some remote provincial town and rent a detached house with a garden in a quiet place. Life in the province is still relatively normal and my guess is the odds of contracting this out there is way way lower than in the capital. If you contract it and you get seriously, seriously ill you will be fucked either way I guess.
If someone is in need of a place in Ratanakiri I can look out for a place for you. Call me boots on the ground. Won't fuck you over, a case of beer will do (still normal price here).
Of course the initial 14 days quarantine (if forced....) will be a pain in the ass (you will still have your own place + garden...), but after that you will have the relative freedom of a remote place nobody cares about. My 2 cents...

Thanks. To my eye that doesn't look like good news. No sign of a slowdown yet. In fact the opposite.

"If I sit with one person and catch this virus, I get a small viral load. My immune system will start to fight it and by the time the virus starts replicating, I’m ready to kill it.timmydownawell wrote: ↑Mon Apr 12, 2021 4:50 pmThe people in those beds will already be positive. Not going to catch it again! I assume it's for the asymptomatic and "not very sick" patients. Still I wouldn't want to be in there with hundreds of people coughing away. Two weeks+ praying for a negative test result in order to escape. What a fucking nightmare that would be.
No medicines will help this process meaningfully hence there is no “cure” for this virus. All we can do is support you with a ventilator and hope your immune system can catch up fast enough.
If I sit in the same room with six people, all shedding I get six times the initial dose. The rise in viral load is faster than my immune system can cope with and it is overrun. I then become critically ill and need me (or someone of my specialty) to fix it instead of just being at home and being ok in the end.
THIS BIT IS IMPORTANT:
If you are a large family group, remember that by being ill and in the same room, you will make each other ill or “more ill”. If you get sick, isolate just yourself to one room and stay there. Don’t all sit in one room coughing. You will increase the viral load for all of you, reducing your survival rate.
A family of six people may produce double the droplets of a family of three in the same space. Maths is important.
If one of you is symptomatic, assume you are all shedding and make sure you keep some space.
Parents are getting it from their kids because no one is going to stop comforting their child (nor should they) so the parent gets a big hit as well as the child. I don’t think that can be helped.
REMEMBER: THINK ABOUT VIRAL LOAD
It could save your life or your child’s."
TL;DR - lots of people shedding will increase yr viral load to the point yr immune system is overrun

I am sure I read somewhere that was now possible to isolate at home if testing positive and not ill. Therefore what would be the need for an asymptomatic ward?timmydownawell wrote: ↑Mon Apr 12, 2021 4:50 pmThe people in those beds will already be positive. Not going to catch it again!

Putting everyone that tests positive into monitored care puts unnecessary strain on resources. and sod going into the Koh Pich place. you end up more sick than when you went in

Those beds are for sick people - not asymptomatic positives and given the rate of infection they may be used.
The graphs say it all about what to expect unless some as yet unnamed intervention occurs.

OK well up until now it's been their policy to ship everyone who tests positive into hospital, which is clearly no longer possible, hence my conclusion that this would be what a 5000 bed field hospital would be used for. I stand corrected.

Just an update on this. As of tonight the streets around Phsar Chas are open again (110, 13 and presumably 108). None of the usual food stands on the south side were there tonight. So the lockdown seems confined to the market itself, and I'm sure the local residents will be relieved about that. Food stalls might wait until after KNY to return anyway.timmydownawell wrote: ↑Mon Apr 12, 2021 9:55 am It's literally just the block surrounding the market:

I don't think that's right. According to this https://www.khmertimeskh.com/702701/phn ... e-centere/ the Great Duke Hotel (prev Intercontinental) was converted as a quarantine centre whereas I think they've mentioned the Koh Pich convention centre in terms of 'hospital'. Presumably, the Khmer/Soviet Friendship and the Chak Angre hospitals have reached capacity?timmydownawell wrote: ↑Mon Apr 12, 2021 7:00 pm OK well up until now it's been their policy to ship everyone who tests positive into hospital, which is clearly no longer possible, hence my conclusion that this would be what a 5000 bed field hospital would be used for.

So much for transparency...
