WORLD THAILAND 

Thailand Is Growing Concerned That Zika May Start to Impact Tourism Thai Health officials have expressed fears that the Zika virus will have a negative impact on the country’s booming tourism industry. “If we say which province has infections [of Zika] then attention will turn on that province, and if that province is popular with tourists it will have an impact on tourism,” Anuttarasakdi Ratchatatat, an epidemiologist at the health ministry’s Bureau of Vector Borne Disease, told Reuters, 

There have been 100 confirmed cases in Thailand since January. Twenty-two new cases of Zika were confirmed in Bangkok alone last Sunday. 

Thai authorities also reported monitoring 30 pregnant women infected by the mosquito-borne virus. The health ministry told Reuters six women have given birth without complications so far. 

Samlee Pliangbangchang, former regional director of WHO’s Southeast Asia office told Reuters, “We don’t know the extent of the Zika spread in Thailand.”  

However, recent maps by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDPC) suggests “increasing or widespread transmission” of the virus in the country, which, with its tropical climate and rainfall, provides ideal breeding grounds for mosquitoes. 

Thailand welcomed nearly 30 million visitors in 2015, making it one of the world’s top destinations.

“Outra possibilidade é ter de ser o melhor pai, o melhor chefe, a melhor mãe, a melhor aluna; seja o que for, temos de estar entre os melhores, fingindo não ter falhas nem limitações. Ninguém pode se contentar em ser como pode: temos de ser muito mais que isso, temos de fazer o impossível, o desnecessário, até o absurdo, o que não nos agrada – ou estamos fora.” (Linhas 10-14)

No TEXTO ACIMA, predomina a função:

“Ordens aqui e ali, alguém sopra as falas, outro desenha os gestos, vai sair tudo bem: nada depressivo nem negativo, tudo tem de parecer uma festa, noite de estreia com adrenalina a aplausos ao final.” (Linhas 48-49)

Até no luto temos de assumir novas posturas: sofrer vai ficando fora de moda. (Linha 21)

No trecho em destaque, após os dois pontos, temos:

“Dizem que devemos nos informar melhor, mas quanto mais informamos, mais dúvidas; quanto mais abertura mais opções; quanto mais olhamos, mais se expande a tela onde se projetam nossos desejos.”

Nathalie, the swimmer who lost a leg

Nathalie du Toit, the South African swimmer, was only seventeen when she lost her leg in a road accident. She was going to a training session at the swimming pool on her motorbike when a car hit her. Her leg had to be amputated at the knee. At the time she was one of South Africa’s most promising young swimmers. Everybody thought that she would never be able to swim competitively again.

But Nathalie was determined to carry on. She went back into the pool only three months after the accident. And just one year later, at the Commonwalth Games in Manchester, she swam 800 meters in 9 minutes 11:38 seconds and qualified for the final – but not for disabled swimmers, for able-bodied ones! Althought she didn’t win a medal, she still made history.

‘I remember how thrilled I was the first time that I swam after recovering from the operation – it felt like my leg was there. It still does,’ says Nathalie. The water is the gift that gives me back my leg. I’m still the same person I was before the accident. I believe everything happens in life for a reason. You cant go back and change anything. Swimming was my life and still is. My dream is to swim faster than I did before the accident.’
