There must be fifty companies manufacturing test kits now.

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.

Obviously this will never happen in a m*slim country. Too busy raping women, slicing heads, yelling “allahu akhbar” and throwing gays off high buildings.

I had to cancel my trip to Israel on Monday. There is panic over there.

Israel has cutting edge pharma R&D, this is good news.

Well this sounds more promising than some vaccine that other company claims they can develop in 2 weeks and start dosing people in 90 days. Unless it cures the afflicted I can’t see people running out to inject themselves with some brand new little-tested anti-viral drug because they are afraid of catching it. We gonna inject ourselves with brand new stuff every time some new mutation of a virus appears? Doesn’t sound like a good idea.

The problem, as always, is knowing who is carrying the virus. People can carry it and not show symptoms. If this can quickly and accurately detect the virus, and be scaled into mass production, it could be of good use. It would be a hassle, but we could at least quarantine incoming travelers and test everyone coming in. It would slow things down a bit - though I concede it is very early and we don’t know yet how fast this is going to spread from here if at all.
