Looking at the world and coming to Thailand, we …
Whether analyzed from the lessons of 75 countries that repeat the epidemic before us Or analyzed via the number of tests compared with the rate of infection in the country that is close to us Both approaches consistently point out that This repeated outbreak of Thailand is likely to have a large number of latent infections without further testing.
This can be seen from the distribution characteristics of infectious cases that are not confined to different risk groups. As seen in the first wave the next But spread to common people who spend daily life in society Including family members, relatives, friends, people who work, go to events and social activities, etc.
If we cannot break the cycle of the outbreak Will result in infecting people without symptoms and with symptoms More and more numbers Most of them are unaware because they have not been tested. And will have long-term consequences Before knowing the situation, many sick people would be seen at the same time or at the same time.
In addition, if you look at it for a long time In regards to the health of people who have been infected with COVID-19, it was found that despite hospital care, Or recovered from the original infection A large number of patients will still have various symptoms. Chronically for several months We call it “chronic COVID” or “COVID long hauler”. Most recently, it was studied in about 1,700 patients. As many as 76% of people in Wuhan, China, have had various symptoms after treatment such as fatigue, insomnia, etc. It was originally educated in Europe such as the UK. The condition was reported to vary from 10% to nearly 50% of all cases.
The nature of those outstanding symptoms will affect the quality of life of the population. And affect productivity in work as well, so everyone should protect themselves from infection. Be aware of the current severe epidemic situation Always wear a mask, wash hands frequently, at least a meter away from other people. And observe the symptoms of themselves and their families, if they are unwell, they should seek treatment Stay at home Out as needed Not eating and drinking in the store Best takeaway
