“was moved to March out of an abundance of caution and because of their travel history”

I am encouraged by this. Maybe we’ll avoid all dying after all ...

Also, in before the “If a quarantine can save a life post”

Does anyone know if they are kept away from each other at the base..or does everyone risk getting it from that kid?

Has anyone heard of a non-Asian getting this?

The patient was among a group of 195 Americans being housed at the military base. All were placed under a 14-day federal quarantine last Friday, two days after the travelers landed.

I wonder how well these folks are being separated from non-quarantined people, or even other (uninfected) quarantined people. I hope the ambulance crew and hospital staff are prepared. You would think they would have prepared a facility on the base.

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 move was taken "out of an abundance of caution," the release stated.

Seems to be a LOT of "abundance of caution" going around lately.
