City spokeswoman Sana Syed said Tuesday that Bentley is staying in the former residence of the executive officer at the decommissioned Hensley Field, which is owned by the city. Bentley was moved Monday from nurse Nina Pham's apartment to his new home, where he'll be monitored.

Consider this scenario:

Doctor Contracts Ebola and passes it to his pet dog.

Before showing symptoms he takes dog into pet groomers who contract ebola and passes it to every other cat and dog they groom....

The pets as a vector is a very scary aspect of Ebola....

By the time the pet groomer shows symptoms it is far too late as the dogs and cats have spread it...

[ I heard they put the dog in a kennel ]

Putting an ebola exposed dog in a kennel would be the dumbest thing ever. You would create hundreds of asymtomatic carriers of ebola...

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...
