Winter brings respiratory illnesses that make it a killer–pneumonia being the major culprit.
I looked at my handy dandy globe and found that Thailand is a semi tropical place.
The points to be made–even in mild climates winter is a killer, AND it appears that Thailand ain’t gonna be so mild this year.
You might recall that the major respiratory illnesses peak in winter, the viral and bacterial illness, flu and such.
Pneumonia is a devastating disease in the elderly. Influenza is bad for old and young and pregnant woman and immune suppressed people like diabetics and people on medications that reduce resistance.
