Popular Post webfact Posted July 11, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 11, 2023 BANGKOK (NNT) - The Medical Genome Center has issued a warning to the public to brace for the ‘Langya’ virus, which is a species of henipavirus. The pathogen, which is being closely monitored by scientists worldwide and the World Health Organization (WHO), has potential ramifications for global health. Associate Professor Dr Wasan Chantratita Head of the Virology Laboratory and Medical Genomic Center at Ramathibodi Hospital of Mahidol University, explained that the Henipavirus group are zoonotic viruses which can transfer from animals to humans. The virus was first identified in 35 farmers of China’s Zantong and Hebei provinces between 2018 and 2022. The emergence of the new disease requires close attention due to research data suggesting that the virus’s spike protein can bind to human cells. This has raised concerns about a potential increase in transmission rates and similarities with the COVID-19 coronavirus, as it may spread from animals to humans and eventually through human-to-human transmissions. Despite last week’s daily COVID cases nearly halving from the previous week, doctors are continuing to emphasize the importance of receiving booster vaccinations. Dr Wasan nevertheless assured that Thailand is ready to respond to health threats, such as by utilizing clinical metagenomics technology to detect infectious diseases of unknown origins. Potential medical countermeasures for combating viruses include decoding their genomes, which can produce results within 24-48 hours. This in turn allows for timely control, prevention and treatment of emergent or recurrent diseases that pose a potential threat to the public. by Paul Rujopakarn Source: https://thainews.prd.go.th/en/news/detail/TCATG230711104853528 -- © Copyright NNT 2023-07-11 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

Nonsense.. applying terms like 'face diapers' and winging on about a few Thai folks wearing masks is the act of a cry baby who probably holds a grudge over having to wear masks some years ago in the bank. We all know some nationalities in particular have problems being required to comply. They should mind their own business, what some random Thai strangers choose to do in their own country is up to them. Hardly breaking news! Not wearing a helmet is also a choice..... Thais make it every day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thais make it every day. a few ? most thai are still wearing masks jacko. so people are not allowed to act like cry babies then ? are people not allowed to hold grudges ? you want this to become illegal ? everyone agrees with your point of view or it is not acceptable ? you sound like a cry baby. grow up as you stated originally. and again not wearing a helmet is breaking the law. regardless of it being a choice or not. wearing a mask is only a choice. huge difference.
