News Forum - Thailand reports 9 cases of new Omicron BA.2 subvariant

[Thaiger]

Thailand has detected the nine cases of the new Omicron subvariant BA.2, which is spreading across the globe with at least 40 countries reporting infections involving the mutated strain. The infections in Thailand involve both Thais and travellers from overseas. Through the laboratory procedure of whole-genome sequencing, Thailand’s Department of Medical Sciences and participating laboratories detected the BA.2 infections. The first case was detected on January 2 and reported the case to GISAID, a global initiative promoting the “rapid sharing of data from all influenza viruses and the coronavirus causing Covid-19.” When it comes to the severity of symptoms and […]

Stop the ridiculous overreaction and fear mongering nonsense. 

 

Open everything up and let people live and businesses thrive. 

 

The insane policies are the true disease

Yes, viruses mutate. That's what they do. Just more fear mongering. In the meantime, daily deaths from covid in THA flutter in the teens. Don't panic.

Another sub variant. This has only been detected because genomic sequencing was done. When Omicron cases surge, not only will PCR testing be too slow, it will be impossible to do genomic sequencing because of the sheer number of infections.  Rapid antigen tests will have to supplement the testing. Then they will be in short supply and health authorities will basically be flying blind. If anyone wants to contest that...... that is what has happened in the last month in my country. That's not fearmongering....it's fact

Being worried about omicron is absolutely fear mongering, and is ignoring the actual science and data 

[think-and-ask]

1. all viruses as on t.ell v.ision, not make you, sick or dead.
check food, shower-water, air ( 1.2 low energy waves. e.g. in-format-ion )
and health care ( oppress symptoms, for hours ).
-
2. who lives, unhealthy for long, ( wrong mindset ),
get sick or die ( too degenerated ), caused by entertainment industry,
what is never a need for any restrictions, as
-
3.1-4 ( think on 1.2 ) masks what not help,  distance causes depression,
lockdown damages life-economy, and vaccine for experiments,
by governments ( corrupt private administrations ).

Oh no, another variant .....Soooooooo scared !!

Another excuse for the military junta to keep bars closed and only allow restaurants in select areas to sell alcohol
