“Are they all white guys?”

It’s the military, and they’re engineers, so most probably are.

Are they all white guys?

Does it matter? Our soldiers shouldn't be going over there for this anyway!

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...

Actually the Army is historically involved with health and infectious diseases and greatly so in modern times. That link you posted is something that the Army does do, you didn't know that the Army operates laboratories and research in Ebola and other infectious diseases for cures, and protecting themselves from bio warfare, and weaponizing it for our own defenses? “”August 21, 2013 – 2:00 PM Eastern Time (301) 619-2285 Fort Detrick, Maryland. Scientists have successfully treated the deadly Ebola virus in infected animals following onset of disease symptoms, according to a report published online today in Science Translational Medicine. According to first author James Pettitt of the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID), the research team previously demonstrated that the treatment—known as MB-003—protected 100 percent of non-human primates when given one hour after Ebola exposure. Two-thirds of the animals were protected when treated 48 hours after exposure. “” ========================================================= “We had a large footprint in Africa,” Cummings said of the Defense Department’s response to the first Ebola cases reported in 1976 in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, formerly Zaire. Since that time, the Defense Department has answered numerous calls for assistance from the World Health Organization (WHO), nongovernmental organizations and ministries of heath and defense, he said.”
