499.6 million already, tomorrow will surpass 500 million
Yesterday, around the world, 515,032 more people were infected, 1,917 more deaths, bringing a total of 499,630,064 people to 6,205,365 deaths.
The top 5 with the most infections are Germany, South Korea, Japan, Australia and Italy (but including Thai ATK, we will be ranked 5th in the world for the second day in a row).
Yesterday, the number of new infections had countries from Europe and Asia occupy eight of the top 10 and 15 of the world’s top 20.
The number of new infections every day in the world now. from Asia and Europe together accounted for 83.02% of the world’s population, while the number of deaths accounted for 84.66%.
New infections in Asia accounted for 39.08 percent of the world, while the number of deaths rose to 32.65 percent.
…The epidemic situation of Thailand
Yesterday, the number of new infections, including ATK, was the 5th highest in the world and 3rd in Asia.
While the number of deaths yesterday It is the 6th highest in the world and 2nd in Asia, second only to South Korea.
…analysis of outcomes from public health policy administration and disease prevention and control
The main results seen are
One, the number of new infections, including ATK, is in the top 5 in the world amid a situation where most countries around the world are down. But our epidemic continues to be severe.
Two, the number of deaths per day, ranked in the top 5-10 in the world in a row. In addition, as of yesterday, our daily death toll was number 2 in Asia and accounted for 5.47% of all deaths globally and 16.77% in Asia.
Third, data from Ourworldindata from the two images can be seen that, if comparing the same period in the previous year of the outbreak, Thailand has a much higher death rate (Excess mortality rate) since the second, third and fourth wave of the outbreak. It shows clear results from the administration of public health policies and measures that are not effective enough to control disease prevention. and organizing the maintenance service system
above results Probably empirical evidence proving what is what.
Covid-19 can handle it. Is it enough, sparrow or normal?
…Proper Mindset will lead to good results
in principle The war on severe disease requires countries around the world to stand on a mindset that does not underestimate the performance of pathogens. Emphasis on risk reduction seeks to bring welfare and safety in life to people in society
If you can It will be reflected in policies and measures that reduce risks. not increasing the risk and planning for drug and vaccine management in terms of compliance with developed country guidelines, quantities, and timeliness that can be procured The rules are set and affect accessibility for all.
It is not organized and causes health inequity problems. There is a problem of secret codes to skip queues or access by connections, as seen many lessons from the past to the present.
…Long COVID research update
Sugiyama A and team from Japan Survey report on Long COVID-19 among 127 former cases of COVID-19 from 2 hospitals in Hiroshima during August 2020-March 2021.
It was found that at the time of the survey There are 52% of patients with persistent symptoms after the first infection.
As many as 49.5% of those who had experienced mild symptoms reported residual symptoms, the most common symptoms were olfactory, taste, cough, etc.
compared and found that People aged 60 and over are 3.63 times more at risk of developing accruing symptoms than those under 40.
Of all patients with Long COVID, 29.1% had an impact on performance.
In addition, another important problem is Stigma and discrimination accounted for 43.3%.
The results of the study highlight the importance of each country providing a system of care, rehabilitation, and counseling services to long-term COVID patients, which are expected to be large in the future after the end of the heavy epidemic.
It’s not just a medical issue. But no less important is the problem in daily life. and social and economic implications. both for the patient, his family, and the country
Finally…bottomline
It is best to protect yourself and your family from infection.
The heart is wearing a mask because it is everyone’s last line of defense
