Stargeezr Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Maybe there will be more action when we all read only 2 politicians died of rabies this week. Geezer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanleycoin Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 (edited) Most Thai's think you just go to the pharmacy and get a pill for Rabies and it will get better. Amazing Thailand. Get rid of the Soi dogs today, it's the only way forward Edited March 16, 2018 by stanleycoin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jak2002003 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Publically say the there is nothing to worry about and rabies is under control will now make the problem a lot worse. This is because people will stop thinking about it... maybe not go and get treatment if bitten because they now believe its all OK. They won't bother going to vaccinate their dogs, cats either now. How stupid! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything under control 2 deaths last week, 2 deaths this week Next they'll be saying apart from the deaths the disease has been totally eradicated It takes two months from when you get infected until you get sick and die, Maybe the situation is under control now, and the 2 deaths got infected two months ago? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Theory Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 I’m going to make some thin metal shields under my pants and inside my socks to protect me against bites ? no hope for safety. I just need to get rabies in 21st century ? ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cardinalblue Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Neeray.... if one understands Thai cukture, the answer is unlimited... the point is clearly related to how other ways people die here... why would thailand have a quantifiable number for rabies when nothing else is? it's a very silly question unless one views it a rhetorical question with sarcasm in mind.... all of a sudden there is going to be a quantitative analysis mindset when none existed yesterday.... it it belongs in the same category as discussing Thai medals at the winter olympics - irrelevant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sincerely hope the people who call the Thais stupid and say they're totally void of critical thinking skills have read this Firstly: your claim of 2 months is only correct in that it can take 1 week to a year to materialize. So remind me again: how many months in 1 week, or how many years in 2 months? Secondly: Even if your "out of thin air" assumption of 2 months was correct, the only way of knowing if the outbreak was under control would be after there have been no deaths for at least 2 months for your information http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs099/en/ Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt.— ABRAHAM LINCOLN. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevieboy2 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 In Hua hin it is really out of control as wild dogs comb the beach day and night. I dont understand why they let them run astray especially when they know they have a problem. With all the tourists on the beach you think they would get rid of the stray dogs.

David Walden Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 4 hours ago, neeray said: It is obvious that the member means "how many deaths are acceptable", as it relates to the Ministry reassuring public that rabies situation is 'under control'. This thread really doesn't have anything to do with road fatalities, drownings, malaria blah blah blah. Rabies is the topic here. Goodness me only 2 people died from Rabies last week. At the same time 300 people died on the roads and about 1000 were badly injured...sorry for being flippant about people dying but only 2 is quite acceptable ...TIT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KruJA Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 How many deaths acceptable? Obviously anything under 15,000 per year. That's about how many die in road accidents and Thailand doesn't do anything about that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lucjoker Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 2 deaths a week ? 17 in 2017 ? That's the lowest number of all ! There are more people dying from flee-bites ,hangovers , swallowing toothpicks.......hit by faling coconuts......dirty beercans...... This thing was never out of control , in fact it is the safest thing in Thailand . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some figures by WHO about Malaria deaths world wide put the figures as about 3 million each year. Thankfully Thailand is almost clear of this problem...A plus for Thailand.

Thankfully Thailand is almost clear of this problem...A plus for Thailand. It has been reliably suggested that major drug companies already have a solutions to combat malaria. But the problem mostly only exists in 3rd world countries. The major cost for manufacturing and distributing the treatment would be very costly, the drug companies would have very little chance of getting a return for their investment. I suppose money talks...pity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donotdisturb Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 And dont forget that livestock can get rabies too. Any mammal can. Bats can infect cattle. Rabies is not limited to pets. Infected animals can show zero symptoms. It's a nasty disease... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabies is a disease you should not wish on your worst enemy. The virus attacks the central nervous system and brain, causing uncontrollable muscle spasms.

Cake Monster Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Rabies is right up there in the league of nasties, along with Anthrax, People and Animals can be infected for months with no obvious symptoms, and when the symptoms do appear, its already too late for the poor soul infected as the disease is nearly always fatal.

rosst Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 The way to control rabies is to tell people that any dog not in a yard or on a leash will be shot, and then do it. Follow up with free vaccinations for ALL dogs and free medical treatment for dog bites and monkey bites, problem solved 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
