So far it looks like the predictions of some posters that ran up to 6 billion by June of 2016, may have been too high.

Reported cases are going up much faster than new reported deaths.

” Ebola death toll rises to 5,420”

And this very same year, the death toll for the flu will be 500,000.

If one wishes to successfully manage risk, they should concern themselves with the flu and not Ebola.

The WHO believes that the number of deaths is likely far higher, given that the fatality rate in the current outbreak is known to be around 70 percent.

We won't get fooled again

Health/life BUMP!

If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.

Bring out your dead! The Dark Man cometh! Bring out your dead! The Dark Man cometh! Bring out your......

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...
