Today's (Friday) update
"Thai officials have now stated that Thailand's first monkeypox patient, a foreign man on overstay, is believed to have fled to Cambodia by swimming across a river in Sa Kaeo illegally."

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.

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!
