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...

If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.

Sounds like it will be about another 2 or 3 months before it’s out of control in the US.

Iran now Syria now Lebanon.....that’s the variant of this virus that will soon take China off the headlines.

Current thinking is One host could infect up to 7 others. Crazy.

Not following this to closely, but they have reports of virus coming back into people who are ‘cured’.

The second round stops the heart.

“We are concerned about the number of cases with no clear epidemiological link, such as travel history to or contact with a confirmed case,” he said.”

Because there are too many asymptomatic carriers or with such a mild case they pass it on without getting tested because it doesn’t occur to the mildly ill that it is anything other than a cold. This makes tracking it nearly impossible if there are too many unrecognized/unreported cases.

This may result in a great winnowing of the elderly, chronically ill and the homeless when/if it breaks out of containment in the US.

Yeah western docs say no way but there is plenty of chatter from their Asian counterparts that swear it to be true.

One of the sources I've read is that Hubei is releasing patients on day 10 of treatment to self isolation. So what we may be seeing are these "cured" cases worsening after release.

Hell, they’re not going to contain it. It involves governments.
