Thailand's weekly new COVID hospitalizations peaked last spring at 3,085 in early June amid a similar run-up that began in mid-April. To put this tripling of weekly COVID new hospitalizations in perspective the Thai population of almost 72 million should be taken into account. The May 4 week number of 1,792 new COVID hospitalizations means 1 in approx 40.000 got hospitalized for 'Covid'. Add to this - as admitted by the CDC - that Covid symptoms are very similar with having catched flu, there should be no reason for any panic. Imo such scare-mongering is only meant to 'combat vaccine hesitancy' as the uptake is 'disappointing' (for the credibility of Public Health officials and revenue of Big Pharma). 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TallGuyJohninBKK Posted May 7 Author Share Posted May 7 (edited) No, I never said or meant to imply that the elderly aren't most of the reported COVID deaths here. They are... I merely pointed out, they're not ALL or the ONLY reported COVID deaths here, which is correct. Sorry if my phrasing didn't properly convey that intended message.

Thailand's weekly new COVID hospitalizations peaked last spring at 3,085 in early June amid a similar run-up that began in mid-April. As I wrote several times before, one should look at these figures in context. The population of Thailand stood at 71.85 million in January 2024. And so these cumulative figures since the start of the current year translate into: # COVID new hospitalizations (14,937) > stands for 1 COVID hospitalization per 4.810 persons during that 4.5 month period # COVID deaths (104) > stands for 1 COVID death per 690.865 persons during that 4.5 month period Pretty scary he? Oh yes, and of the 11 new official COVID deaths, the MoPH below is reporting that 4 were male and 7 female. By age, 10 were 70 and above, and one was age 60-69. I think that pretty much shows that COVID could be a small risk for the ELDERLY, but that it is a Big Nothing-burger for the younger and working-age population. And hey, why would the Public Health authorities want EVERYBODY to be up-to-date with their Covid-shots considering that they now finally admit that the shots have 'rare uncommon' adverse effects? And remember that these adverse effects are all short-term... Edited May 13 by stats unsourced and unsubstantiated claim removed 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that pretty much shows that COVID could be a small risk for the ELDERLY, but that it is a Big Nothing-burger for the younger and working-age population. You're talking about risk only on the basis of Thailand's relatively few official COVID deaths -- which past studies have shown to be undercounts to the actual levels of likely COVID deaths. And for the record, Thailand among its official COVID deaths has reported one involving a young child and another involving a 20-49-year-old just in the past month. No details about the particulars of those cases. But that assessment doesn't take into account the much larger numbers of serious COVID hospitalizations -- 588 current as of last week, and 14,937 total thus far for the year. And for that group, the Thai MoPH doesn't publicly release any age or other demographic information. So we don't really know the details of just whom COVID is making seriously ill in Thailand. I'd guess the elderly predominate there as has generally been the case elsewhere in recent times, but to what extent younger people are involved as they have been elsewhere in smaller numbers, we simply don't know.

dhupverg Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 (edited) >>No details about the particulars of those cases. >>>So we don't really know the details of just whom COVID is making seriously ill in Thailand. So just keep pushing fear than, well done. Makes sense that those who passed away were elderly and in poor health, also makes sense that those who are seriously affected are also elderly and in ill health. What doesn't make sense is that those who are seriously affected are young and heatlhy, but nevermind that, keep pushing fear.

But that still leaves a lot of younger people in the remaining one-fourth to one-third of the population who still are getting sick from COVID. Per the U.S. CDC: "During the first seven months of 2023, adults 65 years and older accounted for 63% of hospitalizations and 88% of in-hospital deaths from COVID-19." That means people under 65 accounted for more than one-third of U.S. COVID hospitalizations during that period, and 12 percent of in-hospital COVID deaths. https://www.cdc.gov/ncird/whats-new/changing-threat-covid-19.html Edited May 13 by TallGuyJohninBKK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 70 year old who’s spelunking and running thai marathons may not want to for example.

Of the 6 new official COVID deaths for the past week, the MoPH below is reporting that 5 were male and 1 female. By age, all 6 were reported to be age 70 and above. https://ddc.moph.go.th/covid19-dashboard/?dashboard=main The latest MoPH report on new weekly COVID hospitalizations marked the first reported decline in new cases after 10 consecutive weeks of increases dating back to mid-March. Even so, the current levels of new weekly COVID hospitalizations remain more than three times higher than at the start of the recent surge. The weekly new COVID hospitalizations during that period have been: March 16 -- 501 March 23 -- 630 March 30 -- 728 April 6 -- 774 April 13 -- 849 April 20 -- 1,004 April 27 -- 1,672 May 4 -- 1,792 May 11 -- 1,880 May 18 - 1,882 May 25 -- 1,801 By comparison, Thailand's key weekly COVID indicators to start 2024 were 664 new COVID hospitalizations and 4 COVID deaths for the first week of the year. Last year, Thailand had a similar spring COVID surge that saw new weekly COVID hospitalizations peak at 3,085 in early June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
