Mo Yong confirmed that the incubation period for COVID is now shorter. but easier to stick decreased disease severity In the future, the severity of the disease will decrease accordingly. And in the end we will have to live with this virus forever.

COVID-19 Shorter incubation period, easier to infect, less severity of disease
Since the outbreak of COVID-19, the average incubation period of the disease in the early stages is 5-6 days. The incubation period has always been shortened. Up to the current species, Omicron has an average incubation period of 3 days from the date of exposure to the symptoms.
When the incubation period is shortened, the existing immune system Get ready to provoke an incoming attack. To mobilize out to fight and prevent it, so it’s easier to keep in touch. Sometimes even with a high level of immunity already formed. cannot prevent infection But the level of immunity that exists Still enough to help inhibit the multiplication of the virus in a later period. This is why the severity of the disease is reduced.
Overall, most of Thailand’s population, more than 90%, has immunity to COVID-19, whether through vaccination. or by spontaneous infection, more than 70% of them are infected, causing them to be infected even though they can get infected symptoms will be less
And in the future, the recurring immunity is repeated. and move more directly into the species due to a large number of infections The severity of the disease will decrease accordingly. And in the end we will have to live with this virus forever.
