It is a New Topic so of course it ain't appropriate to much. However, the topic could be the dengue epidemic currently ravaging (allegedly) Kampot/Cambodia or Tuk Tuk drivers being a new source of Gossip/news.
Teaching English! I never taught just got paid to appear like I did, but yeah, a few hours online in the evenings chatting to bored Japanese and Koreans, better than TV and more entertaining than sitting in a bar, cheaper too.

I thought they were dying from going to Nowhere Bar. Where is Nowhere Bar and do you go there, Horace?
Maybe there's a lot of dengue in Nowhere Bar.

Nowhere is on the same street as Bistro 23 and as it is full of tattooed skinny people with bits of metal in their faces I don't bother, also it doesn't open till something like 5pm and shuts when the last person has died or passed out which is usually around 5am. I believe on the weekend they are open 24 hours Fri-Mon!
I'd rather drink in my garden watching the sky at night and listening to the insects/ frogs , etc.

FWIW someone from my work was laid low with dengue when they visited the provinces a couple months ago. Does seem to be worryingly common.
I contacted it twice in Phnom Penh. One time I barely noticed it but my coworkers insisted I fuck off home to rest.
I'm unsure if one dengue virus is more debilitating than another or if the individual him/her self is somehow more predisposed to misery with an infection, but I had a godawful three days of it.

Are people actually going to a lab and getting nucleic acid amplification tests to confirm they have dengue or just coming down with a fever and assuming that it's dengue? I'm guessing it's not the former.
By the way, whatever happened with that dengue vaccine that came out years ago? Guess that didn't work out too well.

Dr. Gavin Scott did the blood test thing for me at least.MONEYBACKGUARANTEE wrote: ↑Thu Sep 21, 2023 8:11 pmAre people actually going to a lab and getting nucleic acid amplification tests to confirm they have dengue or just coming down with a fever and assuming that it's dengue?

The older one can only be given to people who’ve already recovered from dengue once. The newer one is still very new and only approved in a few countries, not sure what its availability is here?MONEYBACKGUARANTEE wrote: ↑Thu Sep 21, 2023 8:11 pm

Me too, but I think there's a little plastic thingy test you can do at a pharmacy?Alexandra wrote: ↑Thu Sep 21, 2023 8:45 pmDr. Gavin Scott did the blood test thing for me at least.MONEYBACKGUARANTEE wrote: ↑Thu Sep 21, 2023 8:11 pmAre people actually going to a lab and getting nucleic acid amplification tests to confirm they have dengue or just coming down with a fever and assuming that it's dengue?
I do the exact same thing at night in Kampot. Great way to spend the night. Haven't been into a bar here in 3 years. Way too many nutters for me.horace wrote: ↑Thu Sep 21, 2023 3:51 pmNowhere is on the same street as Bistro 23 and as it is full of tattooed skinny people with bits of metal in their faces I don't bother, also it doesn't open till something like 5pm and shuts when the last person has died or passed out which is usually around 5am.
