Several cruise lines have changed itineraries due to concerns over Ebola, canceling port stops in West Africa.

On Holland America Line's 35-day African Explorer cruise aboard the MS Rotterdam, from Cape Town, South Africa, to Southampton, England, three ports of call in Ghana, Gambia and Senegal will be replaced with an added overnight in Cape Town, an added overnight in Cape Verde and a stop in Tangier, Morocco, according to Holland America spokesman Erik Elvejord....

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...

Shucks. You mean I have to change my plans to visit Monrovia, Freetown, Accra, Mumbasa, Brazzaville, and all the other places on my African adventure.

I’ll be calling my travel agent to change my tickets to Detroit.

Why does the CDC own a patent on the Ebola Invention?

Ummm, that’s a published patent application, not a granted patent. The inventor/assignee didn’t ask to have the application examined until July of this year, and there is no guarantee that the USPTO will issue a patent against the application.
