Yesterday, around the world, there were 324,196 more people, 745 more deaths, a total of 668,619,304 people, and a total of 6,713,594 deaths.
The top 5 most infected are Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Mexico.
Yesterday, in the number of new infections, countries from Europe and Asia occupied six of the top 10 and 15 of the top 20 globally.
The number of new infections per day around the world right now from Asia and Europe Combined, accounting for 92.03 percent of the world, while the number of deaths accounted for 86.97 percent.
…looking at the epidemic situation in Japan
The latest wave is the 8th wave.
Reflecting that Omicron is not shoddy because it causes more than two hundred thousand infections per day Although somewhat less than wave 7, but instead causing the number of daily deaths to be statistically higher than every ripple ever.
Let’s look at the stats in Tokyo this morning.
Hospital accepting COVID-19 patients Sleep more than 55% of the treatment
Last day, more than 15,000 people were infected in Tokyo, of which only 1,800 were elderly people aged 65 and over. and 28 people died.
While the vaccination rate of the population in Tokyo. About 66% of people received the third dose and about 78% received 1-2 doses.
…information seen from Japan reflect that Must not underestimate COVID-19 despite the high vaccination rate
It will be noticed that the data from Ourworldindata point out that Japan’s vaccination rate seems to be higher than Thailand.
The heavy outbreak in Japan is likely due to a number of factors, such as population density. Including exposure to tourism with many people traveling to travel.
However, if observed carefully, it will be found that the number of deaths from all causes (excess mortality) in Thailand is much higher than Japan. may reflect that we need to be aware of the real situation in the country that The number of infections, illnesses and deaths both directly attributed to COVID and those associated with COVID-19 with underlying disease may be higher than what is seen in the weekly report.
Even more, if fully open for tourism from severe epidemic countries, there is a chance of influx of people who are infected both knowingly and unconsciously. inevitably increases the number of infections in the area And will result in more infections within the country in a short time
…Therefore, it is necessary to be aware of the surrounding situation. live a conscious life always protect yourself
Wearing a mask correctly and consistently while working, studying or traveling It will greatly reduce the risk.
