snoop1130 35594 Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 BANGKOK (NNT) - The number of reported COVID-19 cases in Thailand went down in the final week of 2022, but health professionals have asked people traveling during New Year holidays to monitor symptoms and self-isolate if infected. Health authorities in Thailand reported 2,111 hospitalized COVID-19 cases during the week of 25-31 December 2022. Fatality numbers also went down, from 89 cases to 75 cases in the same week. In a Facebook post, Dr. Thira Woratanarat from the Faculty of Medicine, Chulalongkorn University, asked people traveling or attending gathering events during the New Year holidays to closely monitor possible symptoms. According to the doctor, anyone exhibiting symptoms should immediately self-test for COVID-19 using an antigen test kit, and self-isolate for 7-10 days following a positive result. People experiencing symptoms should get follow-up tests for 3 consecutive days to rule out false negatives.

It hasn't disappeared.....and now there are a couple of mutated strains, having their way, that are quite nasty belittling every aspect of what we really knew about it before. XBB.1.5 and BQ.1.1 variants are proving that our inscrutable and fake science is failing us. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukrules 33321 Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 (edited) Everyone trying to keep the latest variant out of their country which is absolutely doomed to failure without exception, even China couldn't manage it. Unless you want covid to stay the same then variants are the eventual way out of the covid situation. Remember when the much more harmful Delta was circulating in Europe and the much milder Omicron (perhaps by a factor of 100) emerged from Africa - what did they do - they tried to keep it out and keep Delta instead - the exact opposite of what they should have been doing. If 'they' had their way they would have kept it out and Delta would still be the current version circulating in the Europe area countries.

JonnyF 29843 Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 I don't think the holidays will cause much of a spike. We random tested a few dozen employees on their return to work today and all were negative. Allowing the Chinese in untested? Yeah, that will do it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
