Posting reference article documenting significance of fomites in spread of viral diseases and the speed with which viral transmission spreads.
Useful for pounding sense into doubting Thomases....well, maybe.
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...
fomite bing
Thanks for the ping!
