Vermelhos e seropositivos


Já era de esperar: a Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) confirmou que algum do sangue espalhado no palácio do Governo tailandês pelos "camisas vermelhas", os apoiantes do ex-primeiro ministro Thaksin Shinawatra, continha HIV, Hepatite B e Hepatite C. "Cerca de 2% do sanguee stava infectado com HIV, e 5% com hepatite B e C", afirmou a Dra. Malinee Sukvejvorakij, directora do BMA. Na última quinta-feira o Dr. Kusol Prawichpaiboon expressou publicamente a sua preocupação com a possível propagação de doenças causada pela atitude pouco ortodoxa dos "Camisas vermelhas", o que levou um dos líderes do protesto, o Dr. Weng Tojirakarn, a pedir o parecer das autoridades públicas de saúde. As amostras de sangue foram recolhidas antes da polícia realizar uma operação de limpeza.

The dean of the Ramathibodi Hospital's Medical School said Friday that the hospital might have unknowingly performed a test on a sample of pooled blood from the red-shirt protesters.

Prof Doctor Ratchata Ratchatanawin, the dean, said a hospital sent a sample of blood for the Ramathibodi to test on March 18 and the result came out on March 19.

He said the result found that the sample was contaminated with hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV viruses and it was the only one of 300 samples tested that day to have been found with three viruses.

On Thursday, the Mahidol Brothers Group announced that a lab test by Ramathibodi found that the blood the red-shirt protesters splashed Government House and the PM's residence with on March 15-16 carried the three viruses.

Ratchata said the hospital director, Prof Doctor Than Supattharaphan, announced on Thursday that the hospital had never tested the protesters' blood because an initial investigation did not find record of the test with a similar result.

But a thorough review found one of 300 samples tested that day carried three viruses.

Ratchata said it was unlikely that a person would carry three of those viruses at the same time.

He said the hospital, which sent the sample for test, did not say from whom the sample came from.

The Peacekeeping Operations Command set a deadline for the protesters to start leaving the Rajprasong Intersection at 9 pm.

If they refuse to comply with the deadline, the POC would invoke the Internal Security Act to issue a formal demand for them to leave or.

Este o ultimado dado pelo governo ainda à minutos, a situação está bem explosiva.
