Many folk have not had their first shot, many others have received none, for whatever health issues and personal reasons they have; and them catching any Covid-19 variant is serious. Still no vaccine being distributed for under 5 year olds. Which Western countries are vaccinating under 5 year olds against Covid? I understand that in Australia and the UK only 5-11 year olds are being vaccinated. We live in the North and it has been offered to our five year old daughter.

Bkk Brian Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 WHO's already mentioned it in a previous press briefing and there's no evidence its any more transmissible or virulent than BA1 or BA2, in fact it has less mutations than the previous ones.

I totally agree with your sentiment, but it all depends on age and what ailments they already had. Did Covid kill them or was it a contributory factor?

I tested negative with these home test kits, but i have heard that they often give false negatives. Anyway, the main symptoms lasted about 4 days and then some lingering symptoms a few days after that. If it was in fact Covid, i can honestly say that i have been far more sick with the flu Edited March 8, 2022 by Kaopad999 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Due to low vaccination rates and low previous infections. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sametboy2019 Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Every new variant is more contagious than the last one which begs the question how contagious was the original strain?...How contagious does it get before you cant measure how contagious it is?????

It's normal for a parent..........but totally self focussed insofar as it's all about the survival of your genes. less than 1 in a million COVID related daily death rate in Thailand.

Did Covid kill them or was it a contributory factor? I don't know, but the full facts are never published! I recently watched a video that suggested, of patients dying with covid, in approx. 65%, the death had been caused by Covid, which of course attributed 35% to other causes or unsure. It was from Zoe data and mentioned on Dr John Campbell's YT post at approx 7am Thai time today. I just shudder when I read these callous posts, suggesting people having co-morbidities would have died soon anyhow. (So that they, the poster, does not have to suffer trivia such as mask wearing or a PCR test). It is like suggesting a cull of the older generation.

Now, the newer BA2 strain of Omicron is headed toward eclipsing the original BA1 Omicron strain. BA2 is more contagious than BA1. Just as BA1 is/was more contagious than Delta. But I haven't heard that the newer BA2 causes worse health problems... So, there are 2 different strains of Omicron ? The last one and a new one ? I wonder what the difference is, as the first was said to be highly contagious but less severe ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallGuyJohninBKK Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 5 hours ago, Fore Man said: I still feel strongly that we shouldn’t take anything Covid is dishing out lightly or with sarcasm. Nothing I said above was taking anyone's illness lightly or expressing sarcasm about that. In fact, I've consistently posted information here on the forum with the facts of how serious the pandemic is, despite many here claiming it's "over" and that only people already sick are getting sick and dying (which isn't true). However, it is a fact that overall, Omicron tends to cause less severe health issues than Delta that preceded it. That doesn't mean that no one gets seriously sick with Omicron. Obviously some do. But my comment above simply said I hadn't seen any science or medical reporting that the latest BA2 version of Omicron caused more serious health issues that the original BA1 version, based on the overall statistics. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somewhat more contagious than the original Omicron version, according to the research thus far. And yes, in general, Omicron has been more contagious but typically less severe than Delta that preceded it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She recently got covid, had a mild fever for a day, and occasional cough for 3 days, then it was gone. On the other hand, I have 3 friends (in their 50s), triple vaxed, that were hospitalized with serious covid cases. There is no one size fits all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
