The purported DART barfer turned out to be a false alarm. She didn't live in the Duncan apartment complex, after all. She spit, she didn't throw up. She did have a low-grade fever, the cause of which may have been a spider bite on her hand.
That’s good to know!
wonderful news
A link to this thread has been posted on the Ebola Surveillance Thread
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...
Thanks for the ping!
