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...
These reports are official calculations, not forensic. There's, therefore, no mention of the mob storming an isolation clinic in the incredible West Point slum of Monrovia, Saturday. Anyone familiar with that story, and the ground, and equipped with but little imagination can project what result will soon blossom out of that.
Things are certain to become far more officially "worse," and reported after the fact, with barn doors closed after the cows have fled.
Monrovia is sufficiently isolated now, perhaps; already remote and now restricted from the airways, but the leap to Lagos...
With no pictures, there is no story reported from the Captive Press, so will we ever fully learn the story unfolding in West Point, as the incubation period peaks around labor day?
Not likely, I suppose, will anyone report LIVE from Monrovia, nor will there be time to mention the story in passing with such important matters pushed in front of the cameras in Missouri by Oakland slackers funded by George Soros.
