Popular Post webfact Posted June 26, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 26, 2023 New COVID-19 infections in Thailand and other countries were steadily falling over the past month, with fewer fatalities, according to Dr. Opas Karnkawinpong, public health permanent secretary. He expressed concern, however, for people over 60 and those suffering from underlying diseases, pointing out that most of the fatalities were people over 70 and those who were not vaccinated. According to the Department of Disease Control, there were 1,653 hospital admissions between June 18th and 24th. Of these, 265 suffered from lung infections, 164 need ventilators and 36 died. Dr. Opas appealed to relatives of those over 60 or with underlying conditions to bring them to hospitals or clinics for COVID-19 vaccination, along with the anti-flu vaccine. They are also advised to bring children, aged from six months to five years, for COVID inoculation, to reduce the risk of death or severe symptoms.

Popular Post harleyclarkey Posted June 26, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 26, 2023 Seems all normal now. But people, thankfully in low numbers, are still dying, others in hospital ICU and many with lung issues. Long Covid is a serious overlooked problem.? We all went through a planet changing epidemic. Will it ever end? 1 2 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right about the natural selection, just not in the way that you meant it. I just pray that you really are as "vaccinated" as you claim to be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it will not disappear...it will stay with us.... And the anti vaxxer will get infected and will have the same immunity the vaccinated have after they got infected on top of it. And that immunity will help but you'll still get the next mutation.... Now in 2023 really everyone should know that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's start with the most basic concept: If the R number for any infectious disease drops below 0 in a population, the disease will disappear in that population.
