webfact Posted July 29, 2020 Author Share Posted July 29, 2020 Thai student in Egypt dies after contracting Covid-19 By The Nation A Thai student in Egypt has succumbed to Covid-19, the Royal Thai Embassy in Cairo revealed today (July 29). An official statement published on the embassy’s Facebook page said that on July 24 the embassy was informed that a Thai student aged 26, from Al-Azhar University, was seriously ill and admitted to hospital. Yesterday, the hospital notified the embassy that the student passed away. The embassy has urged stranded Thais in that country to remain calm. Between July 27 and 29, the embassy screened 290 Thai passengers and 35 other reserve passengers for Covid-19. The 290 were set to take a Cairo-Bangkok flight back home. Six did not pass the screening and a responsible organisation was called in to take care of them while the embassy was temporarily closed for sanitisation.

People with underlying illnesses are at the highest risk, meaning the older and fatter you get the more likely you are to have underlying illnesses. Statistically that's just a fact, but it has never meant younger and slim people aren't at risk, most people have known this for months already, its literally in the news on a daily basis. Not even healthy people are risk free, but statistically you're at much lower risk of becoming seriously ill. However, the statistics of anyone contracting Covid and getting permanent damage (lungs, brain etc) is a lot higher than most people are aware of, even among asymptomatics. Mild permanent brain damage could even be a common result of Covid scientists says, as we know Covid affects the brain (smell, taste, vision, nervous system, seizure, stroke, fever, tiredness, headache, loss of speech, loss of movement etc). How severe and what it means in the long run is being studied, and will take years, perhaps even decades, of observation and testing. But, the healthier you are, the less likely you are to be become seriously ill. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in Narathiwat and this province and the rest of the Three Provinces region has been hit hard by the virus. Maybe it's for the better that borders stay closed for foreigners. Thai people are of course welcome to return, but are - thank God - subject to extensive health measures. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's been more than enough reports of young people dying in various countries to dispel the notion that it only kills old people. Evidence to date suggests that two groups of people are at a higher risk of getting severe COVID-19 disease. These are older people (that is people over 60 years old); and those with underlying medical conditions (such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease, and cancer).The risk of severe disease gradually increases with age starting from around 40 years. It's important that adults in this age range protect themselves and in turn protect others that may be more vulnerable. In the USA deaths of people aged between 25-34 to date was 992 or 0.0073% of the overall recorded deaths at the time of the report, i.e. 135,579 people, increasing with ages above 60. Interestingly enough, deaths from Pneumonia were higher. https://data.cdc.gov/NCHS/Provisional-COVID-19-Death-Counts-by-Sex-Age-and-S/9bhg-hcku View DataCreate Visualization Data as of Start week End Week State Sex Age group COVID-19 Deaths Total Deaths Pneumonia Deaths Pneumonia and COVID-19 Deaths Influenza Deaths Pneumonia, Influenza, or COVID-19 Deaths Footnote 07/29/2020 02/01/2020 07/25/2020 United States All Under 1 year 14 8,459 77 2 14 103 07/29/2020 02/01/2020 07/25/2020 United States All 1-4 years 9 1,620 54 2 41 102 07/29/2020 02/01/2020 07/25/2020 United States All 5-14 years 19 2,498 84 6 50 147 07/29/2020 02/01/2020 07/25/2020 United States All 15-24 years 202 15,609 312 65 52 497 07/29/2020 02/01/2020 07/25/2020 United States All 25-34 years 992 32,454 1,173 438 150 1,863 07/29/2020 02/01/2020 07/25/2020 United States All 35-44 years 2,554 45,974 2,569 1,077 242 4,259 07/29/2020 02/01/2020 07/25/2020 United States All 45-54 years 6,927 85,744 6,749 3,088 572 11,056 07/29/2020 02/01/2020 07/25/2020 United States All 55-64 years 16,648 198,216 18,267 7,696 1,217 28,220 07/29/2020 02/01/2020 07/25/2020 United States All 65-74 years 28,353 301,375 31,292 13,102 1,424 47,736 07/29/2020 02/01/2020 07/25/2020 United States All 75-84 years 35,806 370,715 39,448 16,079 1,451 60,428 07/29/2020 02/01/2020 07/25/2020 United States All 85 years and over 44,055 466,957 44,256 17,194 1,359 72,307 07/29/2020 02/01/2020 07/25/2020 United States All All Ages 135,579 1,529,621 144,281 58,749 6,572 226,718 07/29/2020 02/01/2020 07/25/2020 United States Male Under 1 year 8 4,715 51 2 8 65 07/29/2020 02/01/2020 07/25/2020 United States Male 1-4 years 4 947 27 1 25 55 Edited August 1, 2020 by 4MyEgo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did go to the hospital here in Thailand for the flu once-that time was a bit harsh-this flu felt like dengue fever-had that a few times as well. I exercise a lot-been part of my lifestyle for around 35 years now. I exercise 3-6 days a week for 2-3 hours. I think that has something to do with it? In any case, I guess I am fortunate.
