...a nigerian...assume he's like an original model as in pitch black...how difficult could it be to find him...not like he can blend in

They could probably spot him with a helicopter...LOL

If the Nigerian guy could swim across a fucking river to Cambodia - maybe this European guy can pole vault to Malaysia.

Sorry, I couldn’t resist posting the following photo, which is doing the rounds on facebook:

In case there’s someone out there who doesn’t quite get it, here’s a video clip of The Monkees, a 1960’s rock and pop band:

Today, August 10th, 2022, I received the following email from the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office regarding Monkeypox:

Monkeypox

Travellers arriving from countries where monkeypox transmission has been recorded in the previous 21 days are asked to complete a health declaration form for contact tracing. If you are suspected of having monkeypox, you will be isolated in a hospital and prevented from travelling further until the results of a PCR test for monkeypox are known. This can mean at least 1 day of isolation.

• if the result of your test is negative, you will be allowed to resume travelling;

• if the result of your test is positive, you must continue your isolation in hospital, and be monitored by health officials. Patients will be discharged after an isolation of approximately 21 days or when they are no longer considered to be infectious.

During your stay in Thailand, if you develop symptoms of monkeypox, you can seek medical advice at nearby hospital facilities, or contact Thai Department of Disease Control’s national hotline for monkeypox 1422. Check your travel health insurance cover before you travel. More information about monkeypox can be found on the NaTHNaC website: https://travelhealthpro.org.uk/news/...nternationally

For those who are concerned, there is a vaccine. Not sure if it is accessible in Thailand or not however.

I expect most members of this board were vaccinated against smallpox as children, and have the scar to prove it. The main question is how effective these vaccinations are after several decades. Looks like they hope it offers some benefit as in many places they're denying the monkeypox vaccine if you ever had the smallpox one. In Thailand they were still vaccinating children well into the 1980's.

Fast and cheap quantity test for antibodies will tell it.

Fast and cheap quantity test for antibodies will tell it.

I cannot find any information about any fast, cheap antibody blood test. Can you give more specifics?

A clear, unequivocal sign of infection is a sudden and insatiable appetite for bananas, coupled with an overwhelming desire to masturbate while hanging upside down from trees, as those clutching admission tickets applaud wildly and urge those infected on to greater obscenities and a bit if theft alla Gib!
