The man is 68 and if he really only went to Nigeria it seems unlikely he died of ebola. But, good on them for checking it out.
Given his age, and what goes on in Phuket, he probably died of exhaustion.
We needed an Ebola humor break. Phuket if they can’t take a joke.
Thai Ping
Nigeria has a very low numbers of Ebola cases ... not likely an Ebola infection... in my opinion.
I live in Thailand - not far from Phuket... and I believe from what I know of Thai Immigration ... should this case somehow turn out to Ebola... Thai visas granted to African countries will cease forthwith... Not just West African Countries...
Thailand has very strict immigration protocols... Wish the concept would catch on in the U.S. Government.
And in other Thai news:
BANGKOK: A three-year running survey by Srinakharinwirot University revealed that Thai men are the most unfaithful partners in the world, with one researcher citing ‘small penis size’ as a reason for their infidelity.
Thailand?
Com’on folks, you’re slipping.
Bring Out Your Dead
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
So far the false positive rate is 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
