Which is impossible in a short time, the implementation of policies according to the wrong recommendations can lead to disaster. Current status of COVID-19 Available vaccines have a limited reduction in the risk of infection. even to prevent severe illness prevent death But the efficiency deteriorates over time. Medicines used in Thailand are limited. and the type of drug used primarily It is different from developed countries. Despite efforts to bring in new drugs But it’s a bit slower than the situation. and limited quantity due to expensive
allegations that poor economy Must be open to move forward at this point, there will be no one to stand in the way. Because in the past, the current 2,3,4 waves are not effective enough to control the disease until the epidemic spreads. Exceeding the original measures, the first wave will be effective, but the claim that Tens of people traveling from foreign countries have been diagnosed with infections. Compared to tens of thousands of domestic infections per day Therefore, opening the country to the economy that has to be done and continues is not the right logic. But the above phenomenon In fact, it reflects that The epidemic situation in the country is severe. What should be done is to create more effective policies and measures to control disease in the country. not released as before by walking economy But the health of the people in the country is messed up.
walking economy but need to adjust the working style life in the country to be more cautious more defense It is not to create an eloquence for people to hold their heads in a society that poses a risk to their welfare and safety in life. Above all, Long COVID is a black hole that the world’s medical knowledge has clearly indicated that it can occur following infection. And there is a chance that it will be a serious problem that will affect in the long term in the future for both the family and the country without a clear prevention or treatment. In addition to preventing infection Although some research has found that vaccination may prevent some. but not much The efficacy was different for each type of vaccine used, with the mRNA type being more effective than the vector virus type.
Dr Thira also stated that living with COVID is It’s the truth, but it’s not for you to accept the wreckage. What to do is Presenting the real situation to the people in the society to know that the epidemic is severe can’t take it now But they can help each other by living conscious lives. protect yourself regularly Forget regarding the past life Removing the mask is not something that can be done in a short time. The state must prepare a service system for comprehensive and thorough examination, care and rehabilitation of COVID-19 patients.
Creating policies and measures Must not use personal or group beliefs to push for cold or influenza acceptance, although current knowledge is unable to determine so. and abandoned the original idea to declare it endemic which is impossible in a short time
