Thailand’s Department of Disease Control (DDC) announced the discovery of the country’s fourth confirmed monkeypox case today (Friday), in a 22-year-old Thai woman, the first infection in a female found in the country.

 

DDC Director-General Dr. Opart Karnkawinpong said that the Thai woman reportedly frequented Bangkok night spots once a week and, on July 29th, she developed a fever, followed by blisters, which appeared on her legs and hands the following day. They then spread all over her body.

 

On Wednesday, she checked into a hospital in Samut Prakan for diagnosis and treatment. Specimens were sent to the Medical Sciences Department and the lab at the Faculty of Medicine at Chulalongkorn University, which confirmed she is infected with the monkeypox virus.

I would imagine that is more the fault of the author and proof reader of the article than the doctor actually saying soup.

Do you think in, for example, Australia they say in the headline "Australian man does x" or in the US "American man does..."? 

No country does that. It's the default.

Who has she given it to is the better question.

I'm not sure I believe a word of this. I suspect it is a fabricated story.

Regular washing of hands with soup (from link to Thai PBS)

 

Thai Red Curry Noodle soup with lots of chili - would just about kill anything (IMO)????

i agree let it go about anutins comment.

 

do you also agree that thai media and society in general should also let it go and stop always pointing the finger to the foreigner when referring to this ? or are you going to deny that happens ? 

Yes, and? Who cares?
