And, "he had unprotected sex with a female" Ugghhh, if ever there was a case for wearing condoms that's it right there! Why is it that these African guys always seem associated with trouble of some kind in Thailand? And white men never cause trouble right? Typical response from a racist. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Remind me not to see your doctor. Presumably he’d also tell you HIV is a gay disease too. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 ? Ah right, so all us lucky white folks are safe then. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try to make this nice and simple for the Health Minister should he be reading this (my guess is he reads the Farang Pub forum to make his decisions). A disease that is almost impossible to spread except by actively trying to spread it, is not a disease that requires the person to lose their freedom. Of course, this point also applies to the equally stupid syphilis tests for work permits. There's no need to test for it, because it can't be transmitted at work or in public. The syphilitic ill person would need to be malicious in intent or beyond stupid. Let's contrast with COVID-19. Spreads through the air. Is astonishigly transmissible; possibly the most transmissible virus ever known to man. Kills around 1% of those infected. Is frequently symptomless. And... can re- infect easily, collapse the healthcare system and cause chronic illness lasting 2 or more years. My only explanation is blunt racism. If you have the vivid imagination of a racist then you will believe a blackman will try to sleep with everything in sight. That comment is simply stupid. Both syphilis and small box can be transmitted. The government is correct in preventing people that have these diseases from infecting, for example, prostitutes. Apparently, our lefty woke friend Couldn’t care less about prostitutes health and he’s only worried about skin color. A black man, as you said, indeed slept with a girl the previous night. The problem with Lefties is that they don’t acknowledge reality. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. It is reported in the U.K. that this virus is very active amongst the gay community maybe the powers to be should investigate and test the gay community in Phuket as he must of caught it from someone in the local community as he is on overstay for a long period of time 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with Lefties is that they don’t acknowledge reality. You are the embodiment of a low- information voter. If governments locked everyone up for having some mild infection that is impossible to transmit except by intimate physical contact, then everyone with Chlamydia should also be locked up (about a quarter of women). By your logic, a Cold infection requires camps and public executions. Yes it's the case he could transmit it. Perhaps one person every couple of days. But with COVID, it transmits to 18 per infection on average. And kills 1%. By Day 10, a COVID outbreak would be around 10- 100,000 (around 100+ deaths), but a monkeypox outbreak would be around 5 people, all with mild symptoms. The key with diseases is disease vectors. Monkeypox struggles to transmit. It almost only transmits through extreme and lengthy bodily contact. It does not require medical incarceration for having the virus. I really hope you are not the Health Minister's advisor. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevemercer Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 Another storm in a tea cup. Monkey Pox can only be spread by direct skin to skin contact. Most (>90%) recorded infections are spread through gay sex. Maybe sex with lady boys is a risk factor. Regardless, catching monkey pox is not a concern for the majority of people in Thailand. Taking basic precautions to prevent HIV will also be effective against Monky Pox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont confuse me Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 "According to the police, the man arrived in Phuket on October 21st last year and had lived at a condominium in Kathu district since November. His visa has expired." Are they saying that he arrived In October and 9 months later symptoms appear or has he caught it from someone who is already infected? If that is the case then it's well and truly here! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also possible to be infected with both illnesses and not have symptoms especially syphilis. People can be infected and infectious for years with syphilis without them knowing. Monkey pox is currently mainly prevalent in the gay community. Sexual health and testing has nothing to do with racism.
