According to the Ministry of Public Security, local public security authorities recently listed 20 novel coronavirus pneumonia patients nationwide who intentionally concealed their ailment, contact and travel history and could be charged with endangering public security as their irresponsibility led to many more people being isolated or even infected.

Following the outbreak of a contagious disease, it is obligatory for citizens to report their history of contact with infected people or travel history in epidemic areas, especially if they feel unwell themselves. It is not only about their personal health, but also about society's security.

Since the recent outbreak of the novel coronavirus, local authorities and the media have reported many cases of NCP patients concealing their contact history, travel history and even illness, earning wide public criticism.

In Xingtai, Hebei province, a 64-year-old woman concealed the fact that she had been to Wuhan, the epicenter of the outbreak, even after she felt unwell and was hospitalized. As a result, not only did she fail to receive the required treatment and died, but 77 people who had come in contact with her－including medical staff who were treating her－had to be isolated.

China always does this for "just the flu". Nothing to see here, move along...

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.

I’m just glad that everyone coming into the USA is, and will be, truthful and honest about it, even though they know they might need to spend two weeks in an army barrack.
