Popular Post webfact Posted May 20, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 20, 2022 By Nop Meechukhun Bangkok – Prominent Thai doctor Yong Poovorawan asked the public to monitor the spreading situation of “monkeypox” abroad closely but not to panic over the disease as no case had ever been found in Thailand since 1970. The doctor stated on his Facebook account today, May 20th, that monkeypox is not a new disease. It is similar to chickenpox but the severity and the transmissibility of the monkeypox are much less.

There indeed is no need to panic. It's a DNA virus so nothing like Sars-Cov-2. As for "no case had ever been found in Thailand since 1970." well Australia which from what I can gather has never had a case of monkeypox now has 2 cases.

phetphet Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 I was reading this morning that the most recent cases in the UK are amongst gay and bisexual men. That it's not normally classed as an STD, but gay seems to be a contributing factor to the current cases there. https://apple.news/Ae0x9l8QLSlyBP7hpHJkrGQ Similarly in Spanish cluster traced to a sauna: https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/spain-reports-14-new-confirmed-monkeypox-cases-total-21-2022-05-20/. Now in several other countries: As of 19 May 2022, 38 cases have been confirmed worldwide. Of these, 26 cases have been confirmed in the following EU/EEA countries: Belgium (2), France (1), Italy (1), Portugal (14), Spain (7), and Sweden (1). In the UK, nine cases have been confirmed. In North America, three cases have been confirmed in Canada (2), and the US (1). The majority of cases have been in young men, many self-identifying as men who have sex with men (MSM), and none with recent travel history to areas where the disease is endemic. No deaths have been reported so far, and only two cases have been admitted to hospital for reasons other than isolation. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustThisOnePostOnly Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 The problem is if this strain of monkeypox was deliberately weaponized, in which case all previous experience with regards to virulence goes out the window. We live in a world where the firemen have every incentive to start the fires. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spidermike007 Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Just to be clear. We are supposed to be scared of Covid. You want us to live in a constant state of fear so we will not hit the streets and express our displeasure with the leadership. Correct? But, we should not be afraid of the monkey disease? OK. Got it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockhound Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Covid was not worth panicking over either. But, 2.5 years later, here we are still wearing facemasks and taking our temperatures and with a host of other useless and pointless restrictions. Oh - and a devastated economy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worgeordie Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Just waiting for a Black death type scenario to kick off.......???? too many people living closely together ,many in unhygienic situations , Mother Nature as she does ,tries to balance things so ups pops a disease to cull the population . While this Monkeypox is not a serious disease ,just look how fast diseases can move around the World now , regards Worgeordie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
