“Dr. Prasit” revealed the heavy COVID round Diabetes – Obesity – Cardiovascular Disease People with worrisome medical conditions Point out the death was not the only cause of lung damage. But died from kidney failure – blood does not supply limbs Emphasize that the virus always develops itself, ready to mutate, MPs won Thai people, creating their own health to cope. Using a behavioral vaccine to maximize self-defense Both before and after vaccination
Prof. Dr. Prasit Wattanapa, Dean, Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital Mahidol University said the new wave of COVID-19 is more severe and different from the first. By many factors Since the beginning of the orbit Illegal immigration offenses Anonymous Investigate the origins of difficult diseases The severity of the disease from the mutation Especially people at risk In which the lungs do not work fully When the virus attacks the respiratory system, it may damage the lungs 10-20% until the lungs do not come back, including 1. The elderly when older. Various organs will deteriorate over time. 2. People with diseases related to the lungs, such as lung disease, lung cancer, emphysema, even a slight lung damage. Will affect life greatly The body will deteriorate quickly. 3. People who are heavy. With subcutaneous fat Or under the abdomen Including diabetics This group was at risk for more difficult breathing. Because the windshield is difficult to move Make the lungs work less
Dean of Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital Mahidol University said the research found when COVID-19 Into the body Immunity is fully functional on the 2nd or 8th week after exposure to stop or help prevent the disease. If the immune system is normal for the first few weeks, it becomes fully functional and then gradually decreases, so a group of people who have been infected, but do not show symptoms and recover on their own if their immune system is not normal. Because there is an underlying disease That requires medication to suppress the immune system, such as diabetes, which cannot control sugar levels itself Vascular disease White blood cells cannot manage pathogens. These people were exposed to COVID-19. Will have severe symptoms Patients with severe symptoms, not just lung damage But there are quite a few people who die from kidney failure, blood does not support limbs. The severity of the infection also affects other organs. Therefore, people with underlying diseases are at even greater risk.
“The nature of all viruses, not just COVID-19. It will always adapt or mutate. As in England it was found COVID-19 is transmitted more easily and quickly, so help reduce risk factors. That becomes a crisis: 1. Meet with a risky person. 2. Being in a risky area 3. Participate in risky activities 4. Going at risk times All Thai people have to deal with these 4 risks as far as possible according to their own factors and conditions of life. No need to wait for the state to issue measures There is no need for compulsion. This is what we will help protect the lives of ourselves and those we love, ”Prof. Dr. Prasit said.
Dr. Suprida Adulyanon, manager of the Health Promotion Fund (Thai Health Promotion Foundation) said that people with congenital disease In particular, chronic non-communicable diseases or NCDs (Non-communicable diseases) such as high blood pressure, diabetes, kidneys, heart, blood clots and cancer are at risk of COVID-19. It is 5 times more severe than the general population, with 4.8 million people with diabetes in Thailand, and data from UNIATF (United Nations Inter Agency Task Force Mission to Thailand on Noncommunicable Disease) reports that people with obesity increase their risk. The incidence of COVID-19 was 7 times more severe, while 13.1% of the obesity increased in children and youth. Increase the risk of up to 1.5 times and drinking alcohol results in the body’s immune system. In the fight against the virus is lower Even with only one heavy drink Therefore, we should always take care of our health. Because a good body is a major cost To combat all diseases, not just COVID-19, and to improve self-defense, peers and vulnerable groups By wearing masks, regularly washing their hands, spacing them away from themselves to become a person at risk It’s like we’re creating a behavioral vaccine against infection. Both while the vaccine hasn’t come yet Or even have a vaccine These health-promoting and disease-prevention behaviors should also be continued in parallel.
