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...
Southwest PA checking in here (and thanks for the Ping).
Saturday, my 17 year old son came down w/a cold, quickly went from scratchy throat, congestion to SICK running a temp. Slept all Sunday (fever, chills, nasty congestion—but no wheezing.) Missed school yesterday (found out high absenteeism for September, and this “bug” is dropping teens).
This morning, I’m getting it. Pounding headache and beginnings of sore throat.
