...."Thirteen of them had hypertension and 11 had diabetes. Other chronic diseases among the deceased were renal disease, high cholesterol, lung and heart diseases, liver disease and obesity."....

What is the purpose of printing things like that day after day in all government produced announcements? I think in a way it's the Thai way of saying they didn't die fully from Covid, but from extenuating circumstances. Have other countries printed info like that endlessly?

It's been very clearly understood for over a year that health conditions can worsen the effects of Covid. Repeating and publishing it incessantly appears to me to be an attempt at deflection.

^^ It would be more interesting to know the severity of the pre-existing conditions. How serious the hypertension. How serious the diabetes, type 1 type 2 etc. Were the deceased on medication, etc.
