Thai Flu
Has anyone been following the current intellectual property events? Seems that in response to the government's attempts to confiscate drug patents, Abbott Laboratories has decided not to market new medicines in the LOS.
This should be of more than passing concern to those currently of sound body. Consider a major flu outbreak. In that event one Dr. Suwit Wibulpolprasert, Thai representative to the World Health Organization, has proposed holding Western tourists hostage until Bangkok receives flu vaccines.
Thoughts? What sort of precautions can be taken? One more incentive to get off the tourist visa treadmill.
