webfact Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Everyone must help prevent second wave of Covid-19 infections: virologist By The Nation Dr Yong Poovorawan, an expert virologist at Chulalongkorn University In a Facebook post on Friday (July 31), virologist Dr Yong Poovorawan called on people to work together in preventing a second wave of Covid-19 infections. The expert from Chulalongkorn University said a second wave of infections has emerged in several Asian countries like Hong Kong, Vietnam and China, while the Philippines, Indonesia and Japan are getting up to 1,000 new Covid-19 cases daily. “Until a vaccine or medicine is found, we have to do our best to prevent the spread of Covid-19 in Thailand,” he said, adding that as more people are returning to normal life, the number of children and adults with respiratory complaints is increasing. “If a second wave emerges, medical personnel will have to conduct Covid-19 tests on these patients as well,” he said. “This is why, we must all help each other so we can lead normal lives.” Source: https://www.nationthailand.com/news/30392217 -- © Copyright The Nation Thailand 2020-07-31 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpanishExpat Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Funny guy...2nd wave in Vietnam with those few cases!!:) And yeah...the cases went up again in China, Japan, Hongkong, Australia. But the big difference is that all those countries ACCEPTED that and got used to live along with the virus. Moreover they are not as heavily dependent on tourism as Thailand is. That guy with his stylish hair cut sits in his ivory tower and surely won`t get an financial problems, even if Thailand would stay locked until 2022. Meanwhile, the majority of Thai people got salary cuts or lost their jobs at all. Proud to be number 1 country in the world to contain the virus. Proud to have 0 local cases for over 2 months. Good for them, but let`s see what economic price Thailand will have to pay for that strategy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ukrules Posted July 31, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 31, 2020 There are no 'second waves' - they are first waves in countries which suppressed the virus when it 'emerged'. It will get you in the end unless the entire country stays shut until everyone is vaccinated. Either it's been everywhere here already or it's coming... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
