Health Covid Cases Spike in Thailand: 28,000 New Cases in Just Two Days
File photo courtesy of Photo: Xinhua/VNA Thailand is witnessing a significant surge in Covid-19 cases. Over two days, 28,294 new cases have been tallied, escalating concerns. The rise comes as the rainy season begins and schools reopen, leading to a spike in infections. The Department of Disease Control (DDC) recorded 10,192 new cases on June 2, 2025. A day earlier, June 1, saw 18,102 new cases, underscoring the rapid increase. Among these, 9,304 were outpatient cases, while 888 were severe enough to require hospitalisation. Unfortunately, there was also a death reported during this time frame. By May 27, 2025, the year’s cumulative count of COVID-19 cases had reached 323,301, alongside 69 fatalities. Mortality largely affects the “608 group”, comprising the elderly and those with pre-existing health conditions. Prominent urban areas such as Bangkok, Chonburi, Chanthaburi, and Chiang Mai are the most affected, accounting for a significant portion of the fatalities. Dr Taweesin Visanuyothin of the Department of Medical Services links the surge to late summer's rain-triggered illnesses and school openings. With influenza showing similar symptoms to Covid-19, individuals can easily confuse one illness for another. The situation is not yet critical, given a low mortality rate of 0.106 per 100,000 people. Dr Suthat Chottanapund, Deputy Director-General of the DDC, notes that these trends align with seasonal patterns. Schools and the rainy season create environments conducive to upper respiratory infections. He calls for vigilance and personal preventive measures like social distancing and hand hygiene. The prevalent Covid-19 strain, XEC, is highly infectious, but its symptoms remain mild. Therefore, fears of widespread hospitalisations are unwarranted. This is reflected in the mild symptoms most patients experience, akin to influenza, allowing recovery without extensive medical intervention. Individual precaution is crucial, especially for high-risk groups, such as the elderly or the very young. Those with severe symptoms should seek medical attention. Treatment options include antiviral drugs like Remdesivir and Paxlovid, which remain in supply. To prevent widespread disruptions, authorities advise symptomatic individuals to wear masks and maintain hygiene but recommend against closing schools or workplaces. Those with mild symptoms are encouraged to deal with Covid-19 as they would with a common cold. Some precautions include wearing a mask and avoiding large gatherings for the initial days of illness. Meanwhile, the Government Pharmaceutical Organisation ensures no shortage of necessary medications, including Molnupiravir for moderate cases. With the current measures and treatments in place, authorities stress the importance of wearing masks and regular handwashing, especially when symptoms are present. Dr Sakan Bunnag from the Department of Medical Services advises against halting daily activities or mandating self-quarantine, as the severity of the disease does not currently warrant such actions. Thailand’s public health authorities continue to monitor the situation closely, emphasising vaccination and personal precautions to mitigate further outbreaks while maintaining essential societal functions.

Crime Man Hacked to Death with Machete in Hammock After Row Over Puppy
Picture courtesy of Workpoint News A 41-year-old man has been arrested in Buriram province for the brutal killing of a younger acquaintance following a heated argument over a puppy. The victim was attacked with a machete while resting in a hammock and later died from his injuries. The suspect, Mr Khomsan (also known as Boy), was taken into custody by police from Mueang Buriram Police Station after confessing to the fatal attack on Mr Weeraphon (also known as M), aged 37. The incident occurred around 17:00 on 3 June at a friend’s hut in Ban Pho Thai, Krasang Subdistrict, Mueang District. According to investigators, Mr Khomsan admitted that he struck the victim twice with a machete while he lay in a hammock. He claimed the attack stemmed from long-standing verbal abuse and taunting by the victim, despite the two not being close or working together. On the day of the incident, Mr Khomsan cycled to the hut, a place he often visited to drink with friends. As he approached, he accidentally ran over a puppy belonging to the hut’s owner. Though the dog was unharmed and Mr Khomsan apologised, Mr Weeraphon, who was lying in a hammock, allegedly shouted profanities at him, saying: “Are you blind, you idiot?” Mr Khomsan said he felt deeply insulted, especially as the dog’s owner had not expressed any anger. Holding onto past grievances, he returned home to retrieve a machete, then came back and attacked Mr Weeraphon while he was still lying in the hammock. He said he did not know at the time whether the victim had died. Mr Santhaya, 46, the hut owner and owner of the puppy, confirmed that there had been an argument between the two men earlier that day. He said he had tried to intervene and separate them but was unaware that Mr Khomsan had returned later and carried out the attack. The victim’s aunt, Ms Napaporn, 54, expressed outrage, calling the act premeditated and unforgivable. “People argue, it happens. But to kill someone like that, while they’re defenceless, is beyond cruel. Don’t bother asking forgiveness from the family, we will never forgive this.” Police have charged Mr Khomsan with murder and have transferred the case to investigators for further legal proceedings.

Trump Justice Department Probes Biden’s Use of Autopen in Controversial Family Pardons
This thread while insanely important news / implications will be ignored by the forum leftists - guaranteed. These truth bombs always ignored while the Leftists prattle on about starving children somewhere somewhere (but not US) Gonna love to see how truth will be twisted to defend highly illegal actions and the pardons themselves. -
