This is what “change” looks like.

Just a dress rehearsal for what's coming to America. Cordons would serve elite interests well, helping to "control" the population.
RESIST.

Cordons, common in the medieval era of the Black Death, have not been seen since the border between Poland and Russia was closed in 1918 to stop typhus from spreading west. They have the potential to become brutal and inhumane.It's unfortunate, but sometimes that is necessary in order to save a much larger number of people. Just like amputation of a man's limb to save his life.

This strongly implies we have a much higher rate of infection than what is being reported.
Unfortunately, it also means things are going to get a lot works. Cordons can work, but they often don’t. It concentrates the disease, and potentially infects those guarding the cordon. It also gives a high motivation for people to flee (in order to not be locked up with sick people) which spreads the disease.

Hope they’re more motivated than our BP.

Eeeee-bolllll-aaaaaa ping!
Bring Out Your Dead
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
So far the false positive rate is 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...

I know this is picky, and OT, but shouldn’t the word in the title have been “Wracked” not “Racked”? Doesn’t the NYTimes know anything of the English language? Don’t they have editors?
I feel like I’m living in the 1500’s when there was at least an excuse for not knowing spelling and grammar, because they hadn’t been standardized yet.
Back to serious topics like death and illness...
