Doctor Thira warns not to underestimate Omikron as it is less severe than other species. Found spreading 7 times faster than Delta, 10 times easier to reinfect and risk trying for covid
Assoc.Prof.Dr. Teera Worathanarat, Faculty of Medicine Chulalongkorn University Has posted on Facebook about the situation of the epidemic of Covid-19 on April 2, 2022, indicating that the cumulative number of infected people around the world has surpassed 489 million, with 1,225,510 people infected in the world yesterday, with 3,578 more deaths. People totaled 489,523,949 people, totaling 6,170,351 deaths.
The top five with the most infections were South Korea, Germany, France, Italy and Australia. Yesterday, the number of new infections included countries from Europe and Asia, seven 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, they accounted for 87.21 percent of the world, while the number of deaths accounted for 74.81 percent. New infections in Asia accounted for 33.22% of the world, while the number of deaths rose to 27.69 percent.
The epidemic situation in Thailand Yesterday, the number of new infections, including ATK, was the 6th highest in the world and 2nd in Asia.
While the number of deaths yesterday 10th highest in the world
Figures 1 and 2 show the number of new infections in Thailand from data from Ourworldindata It can be seen that our outbreak graph has continued to rise. Different from other continents around the world, except Europe, where the epidemic is now recurring. Especially in the UK, the rate of infection among the population has been higher than the previous BA.1 wave (Figure 3) due to liberalization of life and lack of adequate protection.
Do not forget that the information on the Thai outbreak as seen in the picture lower than reality This is because the official statistics presented are only for the number of people tested by RT-PCR, while the number of people diagnosed by ATK was not included. And most of them enter the care system with various guidelines. Without access to RT-PCR testing, our actual epidemic graph is probably much higher than what is seen in Figures 1 and 2.
Omikron Violence Information Compared to delta in young children under 5 years of age, Wang L et al recently published a comparative study on the severity of omikron. and delta in infants less than 5 years into JAMA Pediatrics yesterday, April 1, 2022.
Omicron was found to be less severe than Delta. This was because the risk of going to the emergency department was reduced by 16%, the risk of becoming ill requiring hospitalization was reduced by 34%, the risk of being severely ill requiring admission to the ICU was reduced by 65%, and the risk of Intubation was reduced by 85%.
But the above numbers, if read superficially with passion and carelessness will be misleading smirking that I’m not afraid of Omikron. It’s just a simple, cheesy virus. It can handle it.
The most important information to know is Omikron. Cause infection to spread 7 times faster and more than Delta. The above figure is very high. Therefore, it is not surprising that in the end, the number of pediatric patients who need to be treated at the emergency department, are hospitalized, go to the ICU and intubate. including more deaths than before This is a real situation that we can see from different countries. around the world where the epidemic is severe
And it is a reminder that our Thais should be based on negligence. Don’t be fooled by the words of lies with passion that drives you to understand that Omikron is a liar. It’s enough. It’s just a common cold. or sway to understand that it is an endemic influenza in the near future
In addition to infection, illness and death What doctors and medical scientists around the world worry about is even healed during the first infection People who have been infected with COVID-19 Before, you are at risk of developing a long-term disorder known as Long COVID, which affects your performance in daily life, work, thinking, memory, mood, and increases your risk of Cause various chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, etc., leading to disability, disability, affecting both the sick, the family and society as well.
So it’s best not to get infected. always wear a mask distance from others Meet with others as necessary. Take a short time. Avoid eating, drinking or sharing food with others. If you are unwell, tell someone close to you. Stop studying, stop working, isolate yourself, and go for a checkup to get better first.
People who have already been infected, do not be discouraged. omikron ripplehave 10 times the rate of re-infection than the delta Always protect yourself and regularly check their health status If abnormal, different from the past should consult a doctor to diagnose and treat possible Long COVID
