Yet here, HERE, we have people who think that every infected American with full-blown frank symptoms has a birthright to a private jet to America, and treatment in an American hospital.

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...
Funny that is pretty much what they are saying on the radio this morning...
Sick Americans to be evacuated to come home for treatment.
Basically the whole ‘we don’t leave our citizens behind’ syndrome
