[null and void]

One way for figures to lie. IIRC, on a few of these threads people reported that patients dying WITH COVID-19 were being reported as dying OF COVID-19.

The party poo-poopers showed up and claimed this wasn't happening.

Didn't see that coming.

Maybe, time permitting, I'll track down their posts and name 'em and shame 'em...

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.

The false positive rate was 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 or one old fart’s life, it's worth it.

This is the stupidest thing I’ve heard of since this whole COVID-19 scam began. And I understand its a cold and not even the flu, which explains why cold remedies work.

GAH!

Let’s get this country back to work!!!

I didn’t think doctors would go along with this... I’m stunned... and shamed.
