from the epidemic situation of COVID-19 This is a species “Omicron” cover all areas And with the properties that spread quickly Although it was not severe, it was found thatnumber of deathsincrease daily Including the number of infected people, when combined with ATK, has passed almost half a hundred thousand.
(8 Apr 2022) Assoc. Prof. Dr. Teera Woratanarat, Lecturer, Faculty of Medicine, Chulalongkorn University or “Doctor Thira” Post messages via facebook Thira Woratanarat Stated the death toll from Covid today as 89 deaths (men 40, women 47).
No data on 2 cases, ages 19-98 years, 6 cases were found on the date of death.
40 cases were diagnosed only 1-3 days before their deaths. About half of the total death toll There was a period of 6 days from infection to death. Of the 4 non-at-risk groups 608, 18 of them had no underlying disease, 55 of them were not vaccinated.
partToday’s number of infected people (8 Apr 2022) 25,140 total ATK 23,751 total 48,891 A week has passed. Pneumonia increased from 1828 to 1,899, an increase of 3.88%. Intubation increased from 712 to 815, an increase of 14.46%. Today’s total ATK infections are 3.58% less than the week before and 7.23 less than two weeks ago. %
However “Doctor Thira” have concerns about Long COVID By referring to the news about the orders of the President of the United States. Let the relevant agencies do research to find a solution to the problem. Long COVID which is found in up to 7% of the adult population And will affect the ability to live and work This reinforces the importance of 7% of the country’s entire adult population. Calculated back from the adult population aged 18 and over, it amounts to 14.6 million from the above data. If compared with the number of infected adults It is found that the incidence rate Long COVID In adults who have been infected, it is as high as 20%.
What is worrisome is that since the ripple Omicron Since then, the case is Long COVID There will be both males and females. And there are all ages, both adults and children. Currently, there are children with Long COVID up to 150,000, of which only 31,000 have had it for more than a year, because in the previous wave, the infection was more common in adults than children, but after Omicron epidemic. There are clearly more children infected. Foreign lessons are like bells ringing, reminding us Thailand of the importance of disease prevention policies and measures.
It’s best to prevent infection.
