a fool in paradise ~ Bigger question is how many epidemics and pandemics are currently in progress and where are they globally?Bring Out Your DeadI wouldn't discount the possibility that they have a new and improved deadly plague 'in the can' just waiting for the moment when the rest of the world is so throughly sick and tired of wearing masks that we will refuse to don them yet again for another "false" alarm.

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...
Quarantine the sick. Protect the vulnerable. Free everyone else.
