Report Covid-19 Resurgence in Thailand: Over 8,000 Cases Reported in a Week
Correct; this has always been the challenge of a flu rapid test. They exist, but there is no big market for them, because for most doctors, they are pointless. Any diagnostic test has use if it produces an actionable outcome, ie does the test tell the doctor anything different from what they would have done anyhow. A patient comes in with the sniffles. The doctor takes a tests. Its not flu; instruction to the patient, go home and take Lemsip. Its flu; go home and take Lemsip. Anti-virals have a really narrow window of efficacy, and are a waste of time for the majority of cases The procalcitonin or PCT test, has been a rip rawing success. The PCT test is a rapid test that can differentiate between a bacterial or a viral infection. Before, the doctor was pressured into writing a script for antibiotics. Now he has a test to tell the patient that they don't have a bacterial infection, and antibiotics would be pointless, The best use case for a rapid test is cardiac marker testing. You have a "heart attack". Properly done, the paramedic will be doing a series of quick blood tests, so by the time you arrive at ER, there is already a plan how to treat you, because time is of the essence. During the Pandemic, at least for part of it, there was a case for mass rapid testing, because there was still a great deal of uncertaintyl. Now, that case has considerably weakened; for most people a positive diagnosis of COVID would lead to the same outcome as the common cold, flu etc. You take yourself to bed. Just before COVID, there was a lot of work going on to identify the biomarkers found in people who really suffer with the flu. For most people , flu is a minor illness but for some, it really is a killer. You can draw general inferences about age, obesity, general health, but there are significant exceptions. eg the 100 year old lung cancer patient, for whom COVID-19 was nothing, through to the young person is apparent great physical health who succumbs. Biomarker tests have great potential to actually identify those at most risk. All those morbidities might be related to the same biomarkers. -

Accident Teenager Killed in Crash After Motorbike Group Panics at Police Presence in Nonthaburi
Picture courtesy of Kaoded. A 16-year-old boy was killed in a crash during the early hours of 11 May, after a group of teenage motorcyclists reportedly panicked at the sight of a police patrol, resulting in a collision with a pickup truck on Highway 9 in Nonthaburi province. The fatal crash occurred at approximately 01:45, near the Phra Udom canal in Khlong Khoi sub-district, Pak Kret district. Officers from Chaiyaphruek Police Station, along with rescue workers from the Poh Teck Tung Foundation and the Buaphet Nonthaburi Rescue Association, responded to the scene. The deceased, identified as Mr. Watcharapong Dongsingh, 16, was found lying on the road with severe abdominal injuries. His internal organs had been exposed due to the force of the impact ripping him open. Nearby, a white and red Honda Wave motorcycle, registered in Bangkok, lay on its side. About 50 metres from the scene, officers discovered a silver Mitsubishi pickup truck with damage to its front and left wing mirror. The driver, Mr. Somkiat Mingsantia, 43, remained at the scene and cooperated fully with the police. According to Mr. Somkiat, he was transporting fresh seafood from Maha Chai to Nakhon Ratchasima when the crash occurred. He reported that 5–6 motorbikes emerged from beneath a bridge and swerved onto the main lane after spotting a police patrol vehicle with flashing lights parked at the roadside. One of the bikes suddenly veered into his path, giving him no time to brake or avoid the collision. His truck clipped the motorcycle before he was able to steer the vehicle to safety at the side of the road. Police officers stated that initial evidence suggests the group of teenagers panicked upon seeing the police patrol, prompting a sudden and unsafe manoeuvre that led to the fatal crash. Officers are currently reviewing nearby CCTV footage to determine the precise sequence of events. There is also the possibility that the deceased may have been run over again by another vehicle, as there were no visible traces of blood on Mr. Somkiat’s truck. The body of Mr. Watcharapong has been transferred to the Institute of Forensic Medicine for examination. The investigation remains ongoing. Adapted by Asean Now from Kaoded 2025-05-12. -

Regarding Inhaling Modern-Day Refrigerants: Oh, don't ask why. Oh, don't ask why.
Yes. But, this is probably the ONLY drug that is still legal.... Would you not say, Sir? Note: Oh, WAIT.... Some "person", will take exception to my facetiously calling R32 a drug. Is there any humor in this forum, when we take everything so seriously? I do wonder. Note2: In case you want to know, R32 is NOT a drug..... Do I need to explain it to you? I wish you guys were smarter.....REALLY..... -
