Bring out your dead! The Dark Man cometh! Bring out your dead! The Dark Man cometh! Bring out your...... (hat tip to: fivecatsandadog!)
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...

The Japanese are usually much more proactive than this; I was surprised to learn earlier today that they hadn’t restricted travel to/from the infected African areas.

At least the guy will have access to Avigan if he’s positive.

“You would not become infected with Ebola unless you come into contact with an Ebola patient..."
But, if you feel feverish, don't ride the bus, just in case.
I was just commenting on this in another thread, but think of some of the mostly densely populated areas of the world. Like Mumbai, with 14 million people living in about 190 square miles of each other.
How well will quarantines work there?

Half the train commuters in Japan already wear face masks.

Japanese Sanitation would surprise MANY.
This is one area where they are not as advanced as what would be expected for a modern nation.
OK, I'll say it!
They still have open sewers and the place stinks. Not a good place to drop Eboli.

Well, now...this oughta spike the conspiracy-theory/tin-hat stories for the next week.
In all seriousness: If there were ONE other country on the planet where Ebola might be most likely to mutate (outside of its natural environment & host)...
Japan: Mutation-central and radiological garbage dump.
