Covid-19 when the situation changes As times change, measures must also change.
Yong Phuworawan 2 March 2022
In the past two years, especially in the beginning of the COVID-19 epidemic, there has been a high severity and high mortality. Epidemics increase with time. The trend of disease severity began to decline.
In the first year, our aim must be zero. or no patients at all The measures are very intensive. Close the house. Close the city.
In the second year, we begin to realize that this is not possible. Our aim is to minimize the number of infections. There are many measures to close the house, close the city, refrain from many activities.
This year (3rd year) we already know that this disease. must stay with us we must be together The severity of the disease began to decrease. There are more patients tens of thousands of people a day The mortality rate is 1-2 per thousand or less (if ATK is included). Measures need to be changed. No time line tracking. No city closure. Measures will focus reduce the severity of the risk group fragile group Congenital diseases must be taken special care to reduce losses.
diagnosis I must admit If symptoms are mild or asymptomatic, ATK testing should be sufficient. RT-PCR testing is costly. cannot be done thoroughly It is done in groups with very fragile symptoms, high-risk groups, or requiring special care.
Care is the same. We wouldn’t be able to isolate the infected person in the hospitel field hospital as before. If the house can be separated, stay home and treat the symptoms. Antiviral drugs will be used in people with severe symptoms, such as high fever or at risk groups. Those with good health, few symptoms, symptomatic treatment is sufficient. Andrographis paniculata is also useful.
isolation of the infected It takes a period of 10 days. Those who are exposed to high risk are isolated (Isolate). ATK test on day 3, day 7, if negative results can go to work. But protect yourself fully for another 5-7 days. Low-risk exposure can work. by protecting yourself and observe symptoms fully for 7 days
It can be seen that various measures tend to change all the time depending on the situation.
