[Mustank]

Too much piaks

[Nzy]

Besides affecting women giving birth, are there any other issues?

 

I read that it can cause GBS also? The same thing that caused the guy who ate the raw fish to lose all his limbs.

Kena is the construction site... guccoland site one. Sims urnan oasis.

 

Wondrr why media only wan2 report as 60 sims drive..

[Vegas]

[Camrysfa]

Grrr.....MOH has been keeping quiet on the outbreak? One day after saying we have broken the egg, it is followed by shocking news today that there are 41 cases .... and 34 have fully recovered! How long have the news been canned?

 

Breaking news says 41 cases

[Darthrevan]

Aside from the Aljunied and Sims Drive cluster, there are also other areas of concern, said the authorities. These include Khatib Camp, Sembawang Drive, and places where the construction workers live such as Joo Chiat Place, Senoko South Road, Toh Guan East and Lorong 101 Changi

 

 

its recommended to avoid these areas

I know right... it's the same aedes mossies right. Those little buggers are everywhere.

 

Wonder how long the virus stays within the body.

 

The longest documented case is the zika virus is still found in semen > 6 months after contracting it.

Think it's an italian male.

Besides affecting women giving birth, are there any other issues?

 

it can cause guillian barre syndrome as well.

But for normal males, non pregnant women, the danger should be lower than say just getting dengue fever. 

 

But if you get it in early pregnancy, good luck.

[Wt_know]

so no piak piak for 6 months?

I feel the concern is not to be a 'spreader' in the first place, and infect the pregnant ladies.  Worst is symptom is mild, and every male will feel they are fit to travel. I'm sure those with pregnant wifes will be worry if the MRT was filled with these healthy looking males.

Not just from those mossies.... sex also can transmit

He must be relieved, thinking "So that must be what she meant when she called me 'mosquito dick'!"

You're mixing up Guillain-Barre Syndrome with Group B Streptococcus. Two different things.
