I and my wife catched (one more time) the covid in Patttaya 3 weeks ago, it's over today in Pattaya.

I had fever for 2 days, not worse than a bad flue in Europe but worse that my covid in 2020 (fever only 1 day)

 

99,9999% of people wont die, dont think too much :).

 

I came back last Thursday from Pattaya after spending 3days there .Saturday i started having the same near same symptoms as the time i had confirmed Covid . Sunday was worst , really think it was Covid , unconfirmed , didn't test myself but i say when reading this 99.9% sure it was covid . Headache , tired , throat ache and minor cough.  Yesderday still cloudy in my head , but for the rest pretty much ok , very very similar like the times before .

You're working with incomplete information. What if (for the sake of argument) I add to your hypothetical, another hypothetical: "90% of the living are vaccinated and 10% of the living are not"? Then, what do you infer? 

 

A: 30% of the population is unvaccinated (hypothetical to make the point) and 83% of them die; 70% of the population is vaccinated and 37% of them die. 

So, would you say the vaccine is useless in this scenario?

My father was sick...did not need the doc, but it needed a few weeks till he was 100% the same and not tired all the time.
He wasn't sick with anything else the last 30 years....so it had more power than every other thing the last 30 years.

I wonder what happened to the homegrown vaccines.  Never hear about them anymore. 

 

 

They have ordered.

The surge in covid cases coincides with the surge in tourists.  When I get a vaccine for Hep A, I don't expect to get Hep A.  Covid is mutating so any vaccine is essentially useless.  I call it hope for the masses.

I just see the donated ones from South Korea and France.

 

Totaling just over 1,500,000 million doses.

Booster, booster, booster....step up folks. 

yeah, it's called science, the booster works in stopping serious illness. Not radical, other vaccines require this.

That's not exactly what it says.  To put it in numbers out of the 64 deaths.

32 of the dead had not been vaccinated.

19 of the dead had been originally vaccinated but never had boosters.  This means they were basically unvaccinated at this point.

13 of the dead had been vaccinated and had boosters.  (but it doesn't state how many boosters or how long since their last booster)

My doctor told me,about 2 weeks ago, that the vaccines available now are bivalent.

According to Dr. Tares Krassanairawiwong, director-general of the Disease Control Department, 2,632 COVID patients were admitted to hospitals between May 14th and 20th, an average of 376 cases a day and, of these, 64 have died, averaging seven deaths a day. Lung infections were recorded at 401 cases and, of these, 226 of them needed ventilators.

I don't believe the numbers. Two hundred twenty-six people on ventilators due to Omicron Variant? Where are these people?

Nothing like that available around here in Sakhon Nakhon or Udon Thani.

 

I even paid ahead of time for it from Udon Thani Bangkok Hospital.  They refuse to refund my money despite never getting the bivalent vaccines, blaming the government. 

Getting refunds for anything seems to be difficult in Thailand - even though you have a receipt and the original packaging, and the item is faulty, or on closer inspection not what you ordered/expected.

Without going into comorbities and with covid or from covid I find the interesting bit is an average of "376 cases a day" being admitted yet estimating "actual daily infections could be between 18,800 and 26,112.... ." We can average that to around 21 or 22,000. Out of this number 376 average are admitted to hospital. Chances of getting it is very slim. Chances of needing to be hospitalized is very slim and chances of dying almost nil.

And again as everyone with a brain knows that covid-19 is not dangerous for a normal person and that nobody have "died" from covid-19. 

For younger healthy people , covid is no issue . For elderly it is a different story. Many people around the world have died from it , and yes not with it but really from covid. Relatives from me ( married on family) lost 4 people in 3 weeks in 2020 , yes to covid . 1 person of those was expected to die anyway as she was very old and had multiple things going on already , there you can say , died with covid but not from covid (which is actually also not true , since then nobody ever died of AIDS ) . The others were not young , but were just normal people  of around 70y old .

Anyway , covid strains now are lot milder and are more or less on par with flu . I had flu this y and i gave it to my parents also unfortunate . Nearly killed my father ... i hope the covid i had now didn't go to them , since it might just kill them easy .

Yes, over 70  is old and they should be vaccinated, as in the danger demographic. Actually, I think 65 is.

There  might be this number on ventilators but are they on ventilators because of covid. There's something else going around. Friend thought he might have covid. Got tested twice at hospital. Nurse told him he didn't have Covid but there is a cold going around.

Have you been vaccinated? Not sure covid can give you COPD. Certainly a comorbidity so can make it worse.

Interesting, thanks. All I know is I was fine until I got Covid.

Actually fine now, and thinking of coming off the inhalers.

My wife and I caught it last September. Odds are, given timing, that we got it at the hospital where we got our fourth jab. Place was, as usual, overcrowded by sick folks.

It really was not too bad, sure I've had worse bronchitis, but hate to think how sick this old man might have been without the jabs.
My poor wife was miserable, too, but did the usual wifely thing of pretending not so she could take care of her "old boy".
