Assoc. Prof. Dr.Woratanarat teapot Another said that “Covid” and “flu” together will increase the risk of death. The latest UK HSA data highlights the following important precautions: a COVID-19 infected patients along withinfluence will be 2.35 times more likely to die
Two … the latest wave of outbreaks facing the UK The elderly group is the group with higher infection rates than other age groups, possibly due to the faster decline in immunity than younger people. This increases the risk of infection, illness and death.
However, the second group with the highest infection rate consisted of workers aged 50 and over, adolescents, and early working age, respectively.
“What we learn and should do is Get the covid vaccination must complete the required time and should also go for the flu shot. Especially those in the risk group … self-preparation will benefit both themselves and their families and society. “
“Everyday life” should be protected on a regular basis. Wearing a mask correctly will greatly reduce the risk.
Reflecting the overview of “Omicron” in the world, Kerkhove MV of the World Health Organization provides the latest information that current virus covid-19 Omikron species dominate the global epidemic. There are more than 300 descendants of the subspecies, of which 76% are descended from subspecies BA.5.
One of the most interesting dimensions is “Covid19 infection in pregnant women”
The US CDC released a systematic review of academic data (Oct.19, 2022) that found that pregnant and COVID-19 infected women are at risk for both themselves and their unborn babies.
at risk for pregnant women Starting from … deaths from various causes are 6 times higher than those not infected, therefore … preterm birth (less than 37 weeks) 1.6 times … The risk for fetus is fetal death in the womb. stillbirth) 1.8 times, neonatal deaths 2.35 times 28 days after birth, 2.2 times the risk of fetal distress from fetal distress.
Therefore, expectant mothers should strictly protect themselves. Be careful in everyday life avoid risky behavior risky place Including various risky activities … Vaccination will reduce the risk. and it has been proven to be safe.
Strengthening for all “Wearing a mask correctly, as a routine, can greatly reduce the risk. The risk of spreading the infection Under the current social environment It is only the decision of each person to act that determines … The path we decide to take is the one we choose to face ”.
at the end of last week Many Asian countries, such as Singapore, South Korea, Japan, Hong Kong, continued to increase the number of daily infections. from the strong explosion of the “XBB” strain in Singapore … reaching 12,000 daily infections
Some European countries are still rising, such as Switzerland, while the previous ones have started to slow down, such as Germany, Austria … It should affect the surge of the latest wave of Europe and some Asian countries, to follow other countries as a result of both of the original BA.5.x and of mutant variants such as BQ.1.1, XBB and others.
“BA.5” is more likely to require hospitalization than BA.2.
Recent Danish research by Hansen CH et al, published in the journal Infectious Medicine, The Lancet Infectious Diseases (October 18, 2022), suggests that people infected with the BA.5 strain are at risk of becoming ill until hospitalization. 1.34 times more than BA.2.
reiterate that … with the above situation Daily life requires constant protection. Wearing a mask correctly can greatly reduce the risk.
There is also information that “Philippines” … there are outbreaks of both XBB and XBC with 5 deaths of XBC strains … Thais should protect them. live consciously always wear a mask Remembering the lessons of the last two years, you must know that “the sparrow, catch it, stop it, don’t cover it” caused what happened in the past.
Open the record of the “Covid-19” virus epidemic on October 21, 2022. Yesterday 279,217 more people were infected in the world, 747 more deaths, for a total of 631,809,778 people infected with 6,578,102 deaths .
The top five with the highest number of infections were France, Italy, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea.
The number of new infections has countries of Europe and Asia occupying 8 among the top 10 and 17 among the top 20 of the world … which the number of new infections Every day of the world now comes from Asia and from Europe. together they accounted for 91.15% of the world population, while the number of deaths accounted for 80.85%.
Another interesting point is that the “XBB” virus strain has spread to 26 countries.
Two days ago, the World Health Organization’s WHO Weekly Epidemiological Update said that omikron still accounts for 99.7% of global outbreaks, with subspecies BA.5 still accounting for 78.9%.
However, the XBB subspecies, caused by crossing BA.2.10.1 and BA.2.75, was found to have spread. to at least 26 countries around the world
the key is Scientific evidence shows that the XBB is a breed to watch out for. because it is more resistant to immunity than all strains of the COVID-19 virus as ever
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Teera Woratanarat, believes that in principle It is expected that the factors that have a strong influence on the nature of the epidemic in each country. It’s not just about the viral strain. But it will be a question of general control and prevention. disease of that country Because the surveillance system is concentrated or weak.
This includes reporting the real situation to the people in the company in a detailed and timely manner. or open as much as you want Open when you want to open … Perceived dangers and risks of people. as a result of the policy Measures of government agencies that have the task of protecting and enhancing the health of people’s lives or not?
In the end, the most important thing is “To take care of the health of every citizen and family to protect themselves during daily life. Live life consciously, with caution and wear masks correctly. This will significantly reduce the risk ”.
