(long lag for this one, take South Africa for example, first country in the world to experience Omicron, their deaths are still rising or perhaps just coming to a peak) I wonder why that might be ? Is Omicron a very slow burner compared to Beta/Delta ? The case peak in SA was between 10-24 December (7+ weeks ago). Could it be with higher prevalence of cases that non-directly attributable deaths are being recorded as COVID ? Anyway, the good news is that SA current deaths peak is around 20-25% of the level of the Beta & Delta waves. In other words, a 75-80% reduction. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anchadian Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 The main CCSA meeting chaired by the PM will take place today. They will review the latest situation which has seen new case numbers jump to over 10,000, but the number of deaths and patients in ICU remain low and stable. Will they ease restrictions or increase them? #Thailand Quote Tweet UPDATE: 15,242 confirmed new cases and 8,268 probable cases. 182 cases were from abroad and 135 from prisons. Out of 111,393 patients, 55,058 are in hospital . 23 deaths (0.87% mortality rate) 569 in ICU (+6) 113 on ventilators (-1) https://twitter.com/RichardBarrow/status/1491954410054123522 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, the good news is that SA current deaths peak is around 20-25% of the level of the Beta & Delta waves. In other words, a 75-80% reduction. Good question, why did it take so long for the SA deaths to start rising and why have they continued that way for so long? Its not the case with other countries (except maybe the US) that have already seen the peak of Omicron. Maybe down to reporting issues, vaccine coverage, testing? However as you say the percentage of deaths is well below that of delta and Beta although the percentage of deaths compared to the first wave they had with the original strain of covid-19 is around 35% - 40%. Its reasonable to assume that deaths here in Thailand will continue to rise but again nowhere near previous levels. Together with a less virulent variant the vaccine coverage here is far better. Although only 62.2% of over 60's have had two doses and just 19.9% have had a booster so we may get more hospital admissions in this age group. It is a waiting game to see how it plays out here. https://media.thaigov.go.th/uploads/public_img/source/100265.pdf Edited February 11, 2022 by Bkk Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TallGuyJohninBKK Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Translated from the MoPH: "Dr. Chakrarat Pittayawong-anon, MD. Director of the Department of Epidemiology, Department of Disease Control, said that during the past week, children 0-9 years old and adolescents 10-19 years old have higher infections, with groups 0-4 years old and 5-9 years old mostly infected. Family infection, age groups 10-14 years and 15-19 years, are school infections. As for the exposure to infected people outside the home and in the community, it is a group of 15-19 years. especially young children. Please keep distance from the elderly and people with underlying diseases. because it may be infected and cause severe symptoms Especially the elderly over 70 years old will have a mortality rate 200 times higher than that of young children. Therefore, we have to campaign to get vaccinated for both children and the elderly. to reduce the risk of infection Reduce severe symptoms and death." https://www.facebook.com/informationcovid19/posts/501709224780740 As explained elsewhere and before, a good explanation of ONE of the reasons for vaccinating youngsters, apart from protecting their own health.

I know this government is concerned and there has been talk already of canceling Songkran. I hope they don't scrap the travel programs for tourism, and not jut because I am still outside and heading back soon, but more because people are still hurting financially. Wonder why it's taken a longer period of time for the cases to spike up versus elsewhere.... Edited February 11, 2022 by ThailandRyan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same thing with Delta last year. The spikes in Thailand with Delta and now Omicron always seem to trail those in places like the US and UK in terms of timing. Cases and hospitalizations in the U.S. have just peaked lately, and now have begun trending downward... Thailand appears just on the beginning of its Omicron up-slope. source link: Edited February 11, 2022 by TallGuyJohninBKK 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
