webfact Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Picture: Thai Rath Thailand's health authorities have not changed the status of monkeypox from a disease of concern to a dangerous disease. Dr Jakrarat Pithayawonganon of the department of disease control said after a meeting that he recognised that the WHO had designated the disease as an emergency. But he stressed that Thailand needed more data before and health guideline upgrades and that at present the country was completely able to handle the situation as regards monkeypox. He said that upgrading monkeypox to a danger list would mean accepting that symptoms were dangerous and spread was fast - this was not the case with monkeypox so it remains on the watchlist of diseases, reported Thai Rath. -- © Copyright ASEAN NOW 2022-07-26 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

I have always said the cure was worse than the disease. IMO that was and is the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
