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.
Cue,... “Leaving on a jet plane”
A thread earlier today mentioned that it was widely believed Ebola is caused by witchcraft, so infected persons want to get out of useless modern hospitals and see their local witch-doctor, pronto.
I didn’t know they’ve developed a vaccine.
