It has passed 600 million…it takes regarding 2 years and 9 months.
Yesterday around the world, 624,379 more people were infected, 1,145 more deaths, bringing the total to 600,218,960 people, and 6,470,506 deaths.
The top five with the most infections were Japan, South Korea, Russia, Italy and Taiwan.
Yesterday, the number of new infections included countries from Europe and Asia, seven of the top 10 and 14 of the world’s top 20.
The number of new infections every day in the world now. from Asia and Europe together accounted for 89.69 percent of the world, while the number of deaths accounted for 71.35%.
…The epidemic situation of Thailand
From this morning’s Worldometer data, it was found that
Number of deaths yesterday 14th highest in the world and 6th in Asia, although the Thai Ministry of Health has adjusted the reporting system from 1 May until the number of reports is greatly reduced.
…compared to the Spanish flu and COVID-19
The Spanish flu is considered the most severe outbreak in the past. It infected regarding 500 million people, taking regarding two years and two months from February 1918 to April 1920.
While COVID-19…(not a common flu and not the flu) that transcends the flu. The latest statistics today have exceeded 600 million in 2 years and 9 months.
Let’s look at the time when COVID-19 hit 500 million was found around April 9, 2022. Estimated time, it was found that the first case in the world was found in November 2019, that is, it took regarding 2 years and 5 months.
It will be noted that up to 500 million people are infected with COVID-19 as much as the flu. But do not forget that the eras are different for 100 years. Advances in medicine, hygiene, technology, and more are far greater than in the past. But the outcomes for infection were not that different. One reason that can be explained is population density and social environmental factors such as risky lifestyles
However, the very different outcomes between the past and the present are number of deaths The Spanish flu era is estimated to cause around 17-50 million deaths, while the Covid-19 era is a peak of 500 million, with 6.2 million deaths as a result of drugs and drugs. vaccine including medical science and technology
The worrying thing is that the Covid-19 disease has not stopped at 500 million, but the outbreak is still ongoing. as a result of viral mutations lifestyle and self-defense of the people This includes health injustices that occur and impair access to essential services that are universal, inadequate, or of poor quality, such as diagnosis, care, prevention and social support mechanisms.
with the current situation in Thailand Daily new infections are still very high. The number of deaths has been ranked among the top in Asia and the Top 10-20 in the world continuously. reflects that we realize Self-defense during everyday life is essential.
Academic circles around the world are not only concerned regarding infection, sickness and death, but a long-term problem like Long COVID is the Pandora box that doesn’t want the jackpot to happen. because there is not enough knowledge of precipitation and there is no specific treatment yet.
Vaccination reduces the risk of Long COVID by regarding 15%.
So the best way is Routine preventive lifestyle
Wearing a mask correctly is key.
