…reminds the understanding of endemic diseases
“Endemic doesn’t mean harmless”
Endemic diseases should not be used in campaigns to misunderstand that they are common diseases, not scary, do not care, do not worry anymore.
endemic disease actually refers to a disease that is identified as It is common if one travels to that area, that territory, that country.
endemic disease Will be used when encountering that disease on a regular basis in that area by knowing how much infection rates are in a constant manner which may increase or decrease according to the season and can predict the change of pathogens to a certain extent in order to plan for coping not to cause the outbreak to be out of control.
To manage endemic diseases well, it also “needs” to have effective therapeutic drugs and vaccines that can be used to prevent them. not relying on,” said the ghost drug. or herbs” that can be assumed to be effective without being proven by standard and accepted procedures.
the most important is Endemic disease does not mean “not dangerous”, does not mean “weak, sparrow, common, not severe”.
Many diseases that are endemic in some continents, some countries such as yellow fever, Ebola, etc. are found in Africa. cause infection It also has a high mortality rate as well. Even the familiar diseases such as tuberculosis and malaria are found to be endemic in various areas of Thailand, but they are already serious and can lead to death.
Therefore, if understanding the endemic disease And following up on social networks throughout the past will find it worrisome. because there is a tendency to misunderstand that COVID-19 will become a common cold, sparrow, endemic, without worrying or self-defense
with current situation Overall we have a large number of infections. and more than most countries around the world Therefore, the people who will come It is well aware that it is entering an area of a country with a high probability of infection. The local translation is “endemic area” or “endemic area”.
The term “endemic disease” therefore has no meaning any more important than the one described above.
What should be paid attention to is How to make the epidemic alleviate more than before?
Preventing the spread of infection is the final answer to solve this problem.
It is not the only dependency on vaccines. Because vaccines are expected to be effective in reducing the risk of severe illness. and death
thinking and advocating various policies and measures in all dimensions of society to make people protect themselves not to infect or spread To be more efficient than it was is necessary.
…Wear a mask. This is key to protecting the welfare and safety of you and your family members.
The problem is not the superficial thinking that the infection will disappear in no time. but unfortunately may die even after receiving the vaccine
moreover The most unfortunate is the occurrence of Long-Term Disorder, or Long COVID, which can affect people of all ages. Whether you have been infected with no symptoms at all, have few symptoms, or have many symptoms. can all be born and will deteriorate the quality of life It is a cost burden to the patient, family and society in the long run.
Live, work, study, do business consciously, always protect yourself. will reduce the risk a lot
It’s best not to be infected.
