Travellers Urged to Monitor for Bird Flu Symptoms After Trips Abroad

[webfact]

 

Travellers returning to Thailand from regions with H5N2 bird flu outbreaks have been advised to self-monitor for respiratory symptoms for 14 days. The advisory comes as a precaution following global concerns about the Avian Influenza A (H5N2) virus. 

 

Dr Thongchai Keeratihattayakorn, Chief of Disease Control in Thailand, confirmed that the country has remained free of bird flu cases in humans since 2006.

 

Despite this, the health authorities are taking proactive measures, collaborating with the Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation, and the Department of Livestock to surveil animal populations for any signs of the virus.

 

Travelers are urged to be vigilant and seek medical advice immediately if they develop flu-like symptoms, including respiratory difficulties, after returning from affected regions. Though no recent human cases have been reported in Thailand, vigilance remains crucial.

 

Dr Thongchai noted that the Department of Medical Sciences and the Department of Livestock possess advanced laboratory capabilities to test for the H5N2 strain, ensuring rapid response in the event of an outbreak.

 

The emphasis on vigilance follows a confirmed case by the World Health Organization (WHO), which reported the first fatality from H5N2 earlier this month.

 

A 59-year-old man in Mexico passed away due to complications from the virus, which included breathing difficulties, diarrhoea, and vomiting.

 

The man had underlying health conditions such as chronic kidney disease, diabetes, and high blood pressure but had no direct contact with poultry. An outbreak was noted in his area in March, making his case the first human contraction of the H5N2 variant.

 

Despite the incident, the WHO maintains that the overall risk to the public from the H5N2 virus remains low. Nevertheless, Thai authorities urge continuous monitoring and adherence to recommended health precautions to mitigate any potential risks.

There is something amiss with the reporting about this case. I won't go into details but I'm hearing conflicting news about the guy involved.

 

Not just his chronic health conditions

100% , if Biden still runs - after not going blank in the debates or wandering off and falling off the stage - he will declare a bird flu pandemic and hide in the democrat bunker again

looking more and more likely he will not run...perhaps pardon Hunter then retire on medical/family issues   Gavin Newsome runs against Trump...yes pure speculation.

Whatever.

 

Hopefully your misinformation doesn't hurt the one you are closest to. 

 

Unfortunately conspiracy theorist spiral out of control and lose everything. 

 

Perhaps your time would be better spent researching scientific studies than gathering information from "truth Social" and reruns of "Alex Jones podcasts".
