I had problems reaching Dr Mercola website. I switched to OpenDNS: 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 and I was able to get through and it seems faster all round now although still still the normal variability in speed from 0kbs to very fast. In CM but not sure of the ISP in this guesthouse where I'm staying.

"Evacuations occurred across Songkhla province. More were expected as the waters continued to rise, according to officials at the Songkhla province Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Centre. At least 40,000 people were ill across nine southern provinces, most of them with influenza, the Public Health Ministry said, adding it had sent 1000 mobile medical units and 100,000 medicine kits to the affected provinces."

Does anyone know more about this influenza? Like how sick are these people getting? And should tourists be concerned?
