looks like the medical ethics decision is to give the experimental drugs to health care workers first.

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...

Vaccines generally don’t work well after a person is infected. The only common exception is the one for rabies, and that’s because of the slow replication rate of the virus.
