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.

The false positive rate was 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...

If a quarantine saves just one child's or one old fart’s life, it's worth it.

Mornin' Nully. Post #13, right above your...Cryptosporidiosis, also listed as "newly emerging" has been know since 1976. It is one of the most common waterborne diseases and is found worldwide

Some of those diseases never left. They’ve been here all this time, but someone wants to upset the gentlemen at their breakfasts. So they made up this map. Good one, too. Few diseases can be stopped by masks.

Wash your hands! Don’t touch your face! </soap box
