BANGKOK, July 25 (TNA) – Twenty-seven people tested negative for monkeypox. The tests were based on samples collected from people in close contact with the Nigerian man who is the country’s first monkeypox case, according to the Department of Medical Sciences.

 

Dr Supakit Sirilak, director-general of the department, said the samples tested negative but officials found the disease on objects in the environment of the Nigerian man including door knobs and sheets.

If that isn't a good result.

 

27 out of 19 people tested are negative.

Woah! That's a significant increase from last week - when only 4 people tested negative.

 

I'm not a doctor, but if you extrapolate this, I predict by the end of the month there could be as many as several thousand people testing negative for monkeypox!

 

Indeed, this could be a game changer for Thailand if we're not careful. If a significant portion of the population tests negative for monkeypox, it's only a matter of time before we're all facing the prospect of lock-downs not occurring. Take care out there, folks!!

Wonder what's going to kill us all next week? ????
