Opposing the idea of ​​releasing the infection “Omicron” creates a phum, Siriraj doctors do not believe it is not serious.

News reports stated that Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nithipat Jearakul (Mr. Nithipat), Head of the Department of Respiratory and Tuberculosis Diseases Department of Medicine Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital Mahidol University Has posted a message via private Facebook (Nitipat Jearakul) with the message that
The daily total of cases is still around four thousand as of the past two days, despite the onset ofomicron cluster (Omicron) new popped up in many provinces. with Chonburi overtaking Bangkok has entered the group championship sign. and has Phuket inserted into the top five It’s different from the Red Devils, the beloved team, whose rankings keep dropping after the last match lost at home.
for the waterfront medical office Good business yesterday saw Omicron 9 out of 16 total coronavirus cases, more than doubling from one day of the week before, with three of the 13.
There is a question that people who are sick withCovid-19 (Covid-19) and how many permanent lung failure? Data from personal experience during the delta epidemic found that approximately 0.5% of patients developed severe/crisis pneumonia. (Requires high-flow or mechanical ventilation for more than 10 days)

If it is assumed that among all infected/patients, there is about 2% of severe/crisis pneumonia, then the chance of severe lung loss of function is assumed. It means no recovery after full treatment for at least three months after recovering from coronavirus is estimated to be 0.01%, or one in ten thousand people infected. which may be higher than pneumonia from other pathogens that we have encountered in the past
An 83-year-old woman with diabetes Severe coronavirus pneumonia occurred in August last year. after recovering and leaving the hospital Still have post-COVID lung disease, requiring treatment with steroid immunosuppressants and supplemental oxygen at home. Until a complication of fungal lung disease has to use a ventilator.

While the functioning of other vital organs, especially the brain, kidneys and heart, is still good. Computed tomography of the lungs is more than four months after recovering from coronavirus. found that there was no permanent loss of lung tissue. Therefore, there is still hope for the lungs to recover in the new cycle of suppressing medication.

For the opinion that Omicron is not serious. So let the infection be very natural. So it will be broader and help stop the spread of COVID-19 quickly. I disagree with this idea for three reasons.
1. Although the omikron is about half the force of the delta Is the rate of severe / critical illness around 2-3%, but if the seriously ill person is someone we love and we infect them or ourselves. Won’t you regret it?
2. A natural infection without some immune defense against the virus. Will allow the virus to mutate in us. Most coronaviruses come from animals. We may get mixed with the virus that brings covid in us every day.
3. Patients who have no symptoms or have few symptoms can also cause Long-Covid Syndrome Although the chances are less than those with severe symptoms. Recently, a team of researchers from Denmark Follow up with people who have had pulmonary function tests before they became sick. When you are sick, even if you have no symptoms or have few symptoms When the body recovered but found that there was a deterioration in lung function. Do we want to be like that?
The “economic base” tracking data on omikron infections in the country found that Recently, the Ministry of Public Health (MOPH) revealed the results of surveillance species classification. Since opening the country on November 1, 64, there are 2,062 cumulative omikron infections, or 19.08%.
Divided into 1,150 people who arrived from abroad, 957 infected in the country. Omicron has now been found in 54 provinces and has been found in all health zones.
