27 December 2023 Dr. Manoon Leechawengwong, head of the ICU specializing in respiratory diseases, intensive care patients, and elderly diseases. At Vichaiyut Hospital, Facebook post “Dr. Manoon Leechawengwong FC” stated…

“On December 16, 2023, I went to a party with friends who graduated from the same school at a restaurant in Bangkok. A total of 41 people came to eat lunch, ages 75 and up. The event ran from 11:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.

The restaurant is an enclosed space. Install air conditioning relatively small size A total of 6 round tables can be set up, tables next to each other, no outsiders, only food servers wearing masks at all times.

Everyone who attended the event was healthy. No one had any obvious symptoms of a respiratory infection. There was talking, singing karaoke, eating, drinking. No one was wearing a mask.

One week has passed and it appears that a total of 11 people have been infected with the COVID-19 virus, representing a ratio of 26% of the people who attended the gathering infected with the COVID virus. Everyone has been vaccinated against Covid. Some people are infected for the first time. Some people the second time, even though they are 75 years old and older, have congenital diseases. Most have mild symptoms like a common cold, including fever, cough, sore throat, and runny nose. They are prescribed antiviral medication. Symptoms improve quickly No one has had pneumonia from Covid infection. Not all infected people went up to sing karaoke. Probably got infected from talking closely without wearing a mask. I was lucky that I didn’t get stuck along with my friends this time.

We must accept the truth. The Covid virus is still with us. It is difficult to avoid infection. During the New Year period, there will probably be more COVID infections. Even if you are infected, don’t worry. This disease can be treated.

Life must go on. Don’t let the COVID-19 virus Let’s block and disrupt various activities that we have planned in advance.”
