[Pearls Before Swine]

People are lying on the floor in a puddle of vomit and excrement, with blood coming out of their eyes, and go un-noticed? Hard to believe, even for Africa.

"That's a lot of unreported."
"Ping Null and Void."

ughdingo doodoo, your arm just fell off and you smell like hippo poop. How the hell can you not notice that?

[null and void]

...because collapsing and bleeding out from every orifice is too subtle to be easily detected!

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...

If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.

The internal organs liquefying is not a tip? Ha Ha.

(Yeah, I made a joke about Ebola...)

[GingisK]

What is that oozing out of all of your orifices? Blood; why do you ask?

Half of the cases of everything are likely going undetected.
