…Thai situation
It is still a continuous uptrend, severe epidemic spread throughout, clearly reflecting that policy and disease control measures are not effective enough.
The daily graph of the number of confirmed infections does not reflect the actual situation. Because many people do not have access to RT-PCR testing, but ATK testing.
If you include the ATK number reports seen on the web of the relevant government agencies. It was found that the total number of infections per day surpassed almost twice that of the delta ripples.
However, the number of infections in the actual situation is much higher. Because there must be an ATK check that is not reported to the system. The actual number of infections is likely to be greater than what appears. This does not include people who do not have access to the examination. because there is a problem of economic status or other
Due to the nature of the global outbreak that has been reviewed and analyzed It was found that the maximum daily number of infections in the Omicron ripple was approximately 3.65 times higher than that of the delta.
That is, Thailand had 23,418 reported infections as of August 13, 2021. It is estimated that if we were like the median of other countries that have passed the Omicron peak, the maximum daily infections could be around 85,476.
However, restrictions on access to both RT-PCR and ATK testing services in the country will directly affect the number of infections to be detected. If you check less, the numbers will be beautiful. So we see many countries that are very epidemic, but care about the welfare of everyone in the society, so we dabble in checks to let people know their health status. and behave properly Protect yourself and those around you.
This is the heart that has always been emphasized that Disease screening systems are essential in dealing with severe outbreaks. Must have a lot of testing potential free of charge Easily accessible by everyone without sticking to the rules
Lessons from the previous year up to the present pointed out to all people in society clearly public health policies and measures disease control How are the screening tests, including vaccines? And it makes us live in a safer or more risky environment.
From the lessons we can see from countries around the world, good public health policy effective would lead to the welfare and safety of people’s lives in society not many losses Both in terms of the risk of infection, illness, death, as well as not seeing the waiting in line to check overnight. getting stuck on the road suicide or other
For countries with a lot of epidemic outbreaks, including Thailand, strict self-defense. Routines are absolutely necessary.
always wear a mask distance from others Meet people as needed. Take a short time. Avoid eating, drinking, or sharing food with others.
If you’re feeling unwell, even if it’s minor, you should tell those close to your family and at work. stop studying, stop working Hurry up to check and heal first. It is a responsibility to oneself, family and society.
It’s better not to be infected.
Because covid… is addicted… not just you.
And there will be a chance of long-term long-term problems with COVID
Let’s help each other share as we can. Let’s fight together and be safe together.
Let’s turn on survival mode…I’m sure that Thai people can do it.
