The Impact of XBB.x Mutation in Thailand’s Battle Against COVID-19

Political news must follow what the new government will look like. after the last election But Thai people may accidentally forget to set up a card to protect themselves from COVID. Because since the beginning of 2023, COVID has come back to spread again. From the omikron mutation to XBB.x, especially the 3 subspecies hybrids.

First XBB.1.5 came in, followed by XBB.1.16 and XBB.1.9.1 is taking its place. Causing new infections to increase continuously, an average of more than 400 people per day, with an average of 6 deaths per day, according to the Department of Disease Control, reporting the cumulative number of infected people since the beginning of 2023 with 18,000 people.

It is information that indicates that COVID Continues to spread due to mutation, causing “Assoc. Chulalongkorn University Must come out to warn that Omicron has spread since the beginning of the year, with 1 thousand species of buds sprouting, but the species that must be monitored from data from the World Health Organization A weekly report reveals the XBB.x strain spreading around the world. It is a hybrid of 9 subspecies, of which the first 2 XBB.1.5 and XBB.1.16 are classified as interesting subspecies.

The other seven subspecies BA.2.75, CH.1.1, BQ.1, XBB, XBB.1.9.1, XBB.1.9.2 and XBB.2.3 are classified as the species to watch. In the past, the subspecies XBB.1.5 had the most outbreaks worldwide. and currently has a decreasing trend however, the subspecies XBB.1.16 and XBB.1.9.1 took over in increasing proportions. will continue to spread Causing each country to find a way to protect

In Thailand, it’s still troubling. like all over the world because it has to drive the economy and open tourism But when the liberalization of travel without protection Causing a large number of COVID outbreaks followed by the deaths of people Which in Thailand began to spread since the end of March this year until the beginning of April, starting to erupt more from various festivals especially Songkran people do not protect themselves Therefore, it is not surprising that there is an ongoing outbreak. Entering the 8th week and statistics from the Department of Disease Control More and more patients are hospitalized and after this may increase again

“It’s not a seasonal flu epidemic like the fake news says. But Thai people are addicted to COVID around them. Until the question always arises that How sick will it be? And according to data from infection with the XBB.x strain, there will be a large number of symptoms. For example, Singapore’s data indicates that there are about 80%, but they are sick and don’t go to the hospital, about 55-63% are stuck and go to the hospital, 29-37%, seriously ill, 6-8% are intubated, whose protection depends on each person’s judgment. do it or not?”

when addicted to COVID besides being sick or died There will be symptoms. Try COVID. especially the omicron There is a chance of causing long-term problems, about 10%, but it depends on who the jackpot goes to. and more importantly Fake news that if infected with COVID, immunity will be good, which is not true, but if infected next time, there will be a greater risk of getting sick in the hospital and twice the risk of Long COVID symptoms causing abnormalities in the brain memory analytical thinking affects the respiratory system cardiovascular system increased risk of diabetes from medical information which asks if COVID is shoddy or not

from the current COVID epidemic situation Self-defense is an important weapon and 3-4 booster vaccination will help reduce sickness. But if more vaccination is to be boosted which recommends that the 608 risk group should receive the injection young people have a good body Assess your own risk whether it’s very risky or not. If working outside If you meet a number of people, you should inject.

But the new version of the vaccine, Bivalent, produces immunity for only 3 months and then decreases after that. must weigh themselves Moreover, there are not enough new vaccines, so it is not possible to rely on vaccines alone. Another method of spacing is needed. Do not eat together with other people. Wear a hygienic mask while going out. and may need to evaluate themselves If you have fever, cough, sore throat, runny nose, and body aches, you should check your ATK.

“If a positive result is confirmed, it is likely to be infected. or if there is a risk of infection, if the result is negative, there may be a chance of a false negative should be examined at least 3 days in a row, besides the inner nasal cavity can prod behind the pharynx to detect repeated infections If infected, should isolate from infecting others for at least 7-10 days. If only 5 days, there is a 50-75% chance of infecting, if 7 days, the chance of infecting is 28-30% and 10 days is only 10%. When you are sure that you have recovered Should check for infection again to be sure.”

protection against infection or not to be re-infected is the best And I would like to emphasize that all ghost drugs, including marijuana, Andrographis paniculata, in the medical research have never confirmed that they are used for prevention or treatment. like a thieves It can help reduce the flu. but not for specific use If infected with COVID, in case of treatment at home, there should be an ATK test kit, home remedies, including pain relievers, cough suppressants, and sore throat relief. and should have a mercury thermometer

It’s important to rest. and drink plenty of water eat soft, bland food to reduce throat irritation To take care of yourself, but if you still have a high fever for 2-3 days, have shortness of breath, lethargy, can’t eat, you should see a doctor for a lung X-ray. and continue to treat symptoms
