What, this guy was on overstay, and he has disappeared?  

  Why was he not kept in custody? Since my family doctor just told me today that this is a gay disease,

maybe the gay population in Thailand should be told to be on the lookout for this fellow.

Just saying.

anybody can catch it

Rubbish, just anybody can not catch it unlike covid. You have to come into contact with somebody who has it to start with as has already been explained in this thread.

More likely with a male (or multiple males) and doesn't want to admit it, considering the statistics in countries with thousands of cases whereas only a handful of those are female

It is quoted he had sex with Females.

I am sure this is exactly what the 90 day reporting system was designed for and will allow for his immediate capture and prove it's worth!????

Of course he will report his location along with the rest of us law abiding aliens. 555. Time to review this 90 day folly.

The person that he had sex with should be worried. Its possible he either caught it from them, or infected them. If so, and it was a sex worker, there will likely be more cases coming to light soon.

But @Caldera  stated this "More likely with a male (or multiple males) and doesn't want to admit it"  which is within the realms of probability.

 

Frankly the entire island is potentially at risk whilst contacts of the Nigerian are currently unknown. and what about those 70,000 Indians claimed to have visited by TAT ?

Two of his "friends'' have been contacted and are now in 14 day quarantine :unsure:

Watching this mornings news it appears the Nigerian man in question has been in the country since last year.  If so then where did he pick up the infection, enquiring minds want to know.

Read the FULL story then.

Really.  So those 2 leads to another 2 etc etc. but hopefully not. But who did he catch it from in the 1st place in Phuket ?

I did, he had sex with someone, so when exactly, 2 to 3 weeks ago is not much to go on now is it, and without saying where or with whom....and who are we to believe since he fled, as he was on an overstay, and avoiding treatment. Many ways to get off of the Island without getting caught.

It's selfish people like this guy that cause the disease to spread.

Is he selfish ? or the sex worker that had un-protected sex with him ?

Perhaps at the time neither he, nor the sex worker were showing any symptoms. No excuse for unprotected sex of course but just a simple "what if" explanation.

If he is on overstay from last year, there must be at least one other person in Thailand or has visited Thailand as the first recorded case in the world was in April this year.

How many ladies/ gentlemen can a 27 year old Nigerian hump in 3 weeks? Ha!

That's the question, also raised elsewhere. It suggests that whilst he may be the first officially confirmed case he must have contracted it from someone .  If that is proved to be the case then Phuket could well be the epicenter of the outbreak in Thailand. Wonder how TAT will spin that one.  

Only the heads of the TAT officials will be spinning, so fast that next week they’ll be forecasting 300 million tourist arrivals next month.
