“We’re not seeing community spread here in the United States yet, but it’s very possible, even likely, that it may eventually happen,” said Dr. Nancy Messonnier, director of the CDC’s National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases. “Our goal continues to be slowing the introduction of the virus into the U.S. This buys us more time to prepare communities for more cases and possible sustained spread.”

Buys pharma time to come up with a vaccine to make $$$ on.

Medium to low risk. I think the state legislature should use them as props to grandstand against a quarantine. Maybe, not just having them speak at a session, but be guests of honor at the legislators' buffet trough?

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...

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

Thanks for posting. Health/life BUMP!

“being monitored”

I don’t think “monitoring” will help much. Either they’re well, and no worries, or they’re sick, and they’re now spreading the disease.

Monitoring could tell us how aggressively we need to implement mitigations, but we already know enough to know that aggressive mitigations should put in place, aggressively. I don’t see much of that, though.
