“dozens”.
Pikers.
At that level of monitoring, this bug is going to get loose and burn up humanity.

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...

.. the World Health Organization warned other isolated infections in Europe were "unavoidable". Wish I had a copyright on 'Famous Last Words' lately . . .

I'm not trying to scream Captain Tripps in a crowded theater, but I think this strain of ebola is a little more infectious than the Oministration is telling the sheeple.

. . . the World Health Organization warned other isolated infections in Europe were "unavoidable". "Isolated"? When a woman is infected while treating a patient, and several others are infected while treating her, most people would not call that chain of connected events "isolated".
