Before they depart ,too late on arrival
Who is doing the screening?
Some muzzie woman in a burqa holding a thermometer?
If she is an ISIS agent, ready to give up her life for the Muslim cause, do you think she is going to stop any potential ebola patient?

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...
