Just FYI. Nothing to see here. REALLY nothing to see here!

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...

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

Looking at the three data point from before they were caught cheating last time, they exactly overlap to the current three data points!

Are they reusing the same the rate is flattening algorithm to cheat again?

Read this from today's NY Times before you begin celebrating. More than half of China is under quarantine (750 million).

Residential lockdowns of varying strictness — from checkpoints at building entrances to hard limits on going outdoors — now cover at least 760 million people in China, or more than half the country’s population, according to a New York Times analysis of government announcements in provinces and major cities. Many of these people live far from the city of Wuhan, where the virus was first reported and which the government sealed off last month.

Sounds like they have a cure! LOL.

But I do wonder how many people here will make that claim.

On a side note, I just started wondering how our precious government schools are going to handle the inability to provide laptops to their students. I guess they can go order real TEXTBOOKS - assuming that we can still publish them...

“didnt report”

[Lady Heron]

The people working in the crematoriums have been saying that China is not reporting the deaths. Those crematorium can no longer keep up with the bodies.

Keep reading...

Not reporting any & not having any are 2 different things

Gee, Ya THINK???!?!???

Q: If 100 people are welding into their apartment building, how many are alive after one month?

A: Only the cannibals...

The Rule: A human cannot live three minutes without air, three days without water, or three weeks without food.

“Keep reading...”

You know I’m not trolling...what am I missing!

China is lying by omission.

Their magical zero death rate is being uncritically reported by people who should know better without a single qualm or quibble.

If they feel the need for a BIG LIE of this magnitude and transparency the real on the ground rate must be so high they don't think there will be anyone still alive to contradict it.

Just my 2¢

What's your take?

[backwoods-engineer]

It’s COMMUNIST China— lying and hiding the truth is an art form with the Commies.

[null and void]

Oh, and I do know you are trolling.

[BobL]

I’m with you, thanks. I suspect that they’ve concluded that it’s a waste of time to count the numbers, despite all of the Westerners spending hours trying to use the numbers for predictions and trends (LOL). What’s real the point now, pretty much everyone (at least in Wuhan) will get it, and will have to make it through on their own. I’m not sure for the rest of China, yet, but there may be an element of the same.

I knew the numbers were BS when they locked-down Wuhan with less than 600 cases (and less than 150 deaths)...not to mention all the spreading going on around the world prior, as in Singapore and Seattle, when there was supposedly 40 or 100 cases throughout the entire country.

By the way, I was looking at one of the ship location web pages. If you go to the major ports off of China, you see hundreds of freighters, just sitting there, waiting.

No surprise for us, but it will be very eye-opening as Americans and others start to learn the hard way just what is inside of those containers (or, more specifically, what should be inside of those containers).

When I was younger I could hold my breath for longer than three minutes no prob!

Toss that rule, good sir!

So do you think that this virus is an escaped bio-weapon, nully?
