siampolee Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 (edited) BANGKOK, Aug 19 -- Airports of Thailand (AoT) have assured that no Ebola-infected travelers have reached the country through its airports. Myanmar tests local man travelling from Bangkok for EbolaBANGKOK: -- A man traveled from Thailand to Myanmar has been suspected of catching the deadly Ebola virus, Myanmar's Ministry of Information reported Wednesday. BANGKOK: -- The Communicable Diseases Control Department has been instructed by the Public Health Ministry to coordinate with its counterpart in Myanmar to find out if there were any Thai passengers on the same flight with a Myanmar passenger who came from Liberia and Guinea and was suspected to be infected with Ebola. It would seem as if the authorities in Myanmar are a trifle more alert and more in command of matters compared to their Thai counterparts. A.O.T.

Popular Post cornishcarlos Posted August 21, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted August 21, 2014 No one has entered Thailand that might have Ebola.... Well apart from maybe those folk that could have been on the same flight as this guy... Oh and the other people that slipped through earlier. But apart from them, no one has entered Thailand that might have Ebola... Of that we can be certain. On a plus note, tourist figures are expected to exceed expectations. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no Ebola infection in Thailand!! Now does this suggest that to date there is no Ebola afflicted persons in Thailand? That they have not as yet been found? That the country is totally free of any chances of Ebola infected persons coming here due to stringent precautions? The worlds governments like the fourth estate are somewhat ambiguous in the comments that they both issue and print. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Preman Posted August 21, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted August 21, 2014 The possibility of Ebola breaking lose is very scary, but it is real. They should be tracking down every single person who was on that flight (if the tests are positive). I do not know how long the testing procedure is. But it could be too late. All it needs is a few people "out of Africa' to contaminate many... and those many more... and so on. I am speaking from a very real experience. I contacted SARS on a flight from Hong Kong to LA in 2003. The guy in the seat in front of me was coughing and spluttering. I was very very sick for two or three weeks. The media latched on to SARS about a week after the flight. I saw it on TV. Around the same time, The USA disease control centre in Atalanta contacted me because I was on the flight and they already had a few confirmed cases from the flight. They sent someone to take my blood samples... and sure enough, I had it also. The point is, - by the time they track every passenger on a flight where something is suspected, it is too late. They can only quarantine that person. But, the real damage is already done. Fortunately, I got through it, and as I understand it, am now immune to that particular nasty. But Ebola? Much more heavy and deadly. When I start to read this stuff (however badly it may be written), - it certainly brings back memories and scare the Sh... out of me. I just pray that this does not spread to other populations. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So unless he has transfered his saliva, sperm, vomit etc to every woman/man he has been with on the flight and has seen since arriving in Bangkok its probably only him who has anything to worry about. If its confirmed that is, he could just have the flu.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ebola_virus_disease 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prbkk Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 This is NOT highly contagious in the way that SARS and MERS are, or appear to be. This does require some significant exposure to body fluids.

Therefore , cabin crew should follow routine infection control precautions for ill travelers identified during flight. Although Ebola does not spread through the air, these routine precautions include management of travelers with respiratory illness to reduce the number of droplets expelled into the air. Keep the sick person separated from others as much as possible. If the sick person is coughing or sneezing, provide a surgical mask (if the sick person can tolerate wearing one). If a mask cannot be tolerated, provide tissues and ask the person to cover mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone who is that ill is sweating, touches many doors, items in a store etc, yes it isn't as contagious but it is no joke.
