• OPB: Northwest States shaping up Ebola policies as more travelers arrive home November 1, 2014 In Washington, the state said it’s basically following CDC guidelines too. Except if a traveler is at high-risk for getting the virus, county health districts will put limits on their movements and ability to go to public places. And Washington state’s current policy is to check on these people’s temperature twice daily. That’s more often than the CDC currently recommends.

If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.

Bring out your dead! The Dark Man cometh! Bring out your dead! The Dark Man cometh! Bring out your......

(Since all records of obama's past were lost in a tragic boating accident and fire, no one can be certain that the guy in the red circle isn't him...)

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...

If we had properly quarantined the unaccompanied minors from Central America over the summer of 2014 and screened them for disease, we wouldn’t have thousands of cases of EV-D68 (enterovirus), four dead American kids and dozens paralyzed.

Does anyone have a source for how many kids have been paralyzed...The Ebola news seems to have superseded much of the E-68 news.

[tbw2]

When nine children in one hospital in Colorado come down with a mysterious form of paralysis in less than two months, it’s hard not to worry.

Colorado has been hit hard by enterovirus D68, a virus that has caused severe respiratory illnesses in children around the country over the past few months.

Since then, 23 other cases of “acute flaccid paralysis” of unknown origin have been reported in California, almost all of them in children.
