Popular Post snoop1130 Posted December 22, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 22, 2021 BANGKOK (NNT) - Members of the public are urged to check themselves for COVID-19 symptoms ahead of the holiday period in case they are infected with the Omicron coronavirus variant. The Ministry of Public Health has issued a list of symptoms that people should be aware of before going out to celebrate the upcoming holidays. Headaches, runny noses, and frequent coughing followed by weariness, muscle aches and pains, and sore throat could potentially indicate a COVID-19 infection. Unusual night sweats are also a possible symptom of COVID. People with chronic illnesses and the elderly being are asked to seek medical attention if they exhibit any of these symptoms. People are also advised to take an antigen test even after getting vaccinated if they recently traveled to risk areas, and to consult a doctor immediately if symptoms persist. Meanwhile, Dr Supakit Sirilak, director-general of the Department of Medical Sciences (DMS), reported that the Omicron variant has so far spread to 89 countries and produced three known sub-variants. 6,000 patients are known to be infected with the BA1 sub-variant, while 18 people contracted the BA2 substrain and 5 were infected with the BA3 version. The Omicron variant spreads faster than the Delta variant but there is no conclusive evidence on whether the new strain causes more severe infections than the previous variants. The World Health Organization also reports that while Omicron might have undermined the effectiveness of vaccines, the performance of T-cells and B-cells remains intact. Health officials meanwhile say booster shots should increase the effectiveness of the body’s immune response to the new variant. -- © Copyright NNT 2021-12-22 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow ASEAN NOW on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Snig27 Posted December 22, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 22, 2021 The air is beyond polluted in much of Thailand and these idiots are suggesting we check for "Headaches, runny noses, and frequent coughing followed by weariness, muscle aches and pains, and sore throat". Try walking in the street. 2 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheScience Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 (edited) Just blather. Does it really need to be said that in the middle of a pandemic that if you have symptoms of covid that you shouldn't go out in public for a party or holiday? The conscientious won't go. The self serving will go anyway. Simple-minded to say, simple-minded to report and simple-minded to post here. This only adds to the manufactured hysteria.

Popular Post dinsdale Posted December 23, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 23, 2021 Australia is going to let it run. High levels of vaccination but letting it run will see the end of Delta with little health impact to society. Will not at this point LOCKDOWN. Way to go in my opinion. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or it could potentially indicate the flu. Which millions suffer from each year without going into isolation while seeing businesses close. How do we tell the difference without having a Covid test?
