22? A whole 22?

This is for the upper crust of the EXEMPT.
They are protected, of course.

One of my nieces former roommates, and long time friend, works in that hospital.

This does not fill me with joy.

Maybe just a test. Maybe just to evaluate how prepared we are when the ISLAMIC STATE (aka ISIS) starts delivering martyrs with screwed up diseases.

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...

Here is a good simulated image of what the Ebola virus looks like. You would need a very good electron microscope to see it this big.

Russian scientists visualize Ebola virus molecule

Darn thing can actually incorporate human proteins into its outer layers.

Just a thought I had. I wonder how the mosquitoes carrying the Ebola virus would fare with DDT in use.

Does Ebola now join Malaria to make a new total of deaths attributable to Rachel?
