Lemme guess - fork over large amounts of dollars to the UN and the problem will magically disappear.

You want to see terrifying? Walk into any nursing home. That will bring you back to reality and what really matters.

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...
More cheery news for a Friday...

Infectious Disease - Bd— (
Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis ) fungus
Currently only known to affect amphibians
Bd— (Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis ) in full—kills frogs and other amphibians by eating away at their skin and triggering fatal heart attacks.
It’s often said that the fungus has caused the decline or extinction of 200 amphibian species,
but that figure is almost two decades out-of-date.
Scheele’s team estimates that the fungus has caused the decline of 501 amphibian species—about 6.5 percent of the known total.
Of these, 90 have been wiped out entirely.
Another 124 have fallen by more than 90 percent, and their odds of recovery are slim.
Never in recorded history has a single disease burned down so much of the tree of life.
At this point of the study, the fungus is known only to affect amphibians due to it's dependency on moisture,
however, what are the chances of the fungus trans-mutating to affect food supply or to infect mammals ?
