I guess this post deserves the obligatory, “and so it begins ...”

[proust]

Impossible. I was told it was too warm.

Ebola was in Nigeria too.

[Kriggerel]

Yes, it appears that it was caught by the Nigerian Prince, who needs your help transferring forty (40) million dollars out of Nigeria.

“Dear Sir,

A foreigner in our country died of the Corona Virus, but he left behind a large fortune in the bank where I am an officer...”

Well this points to WEAPONIZED virus. If it is popping up everywhere, it was spread there on purpose.

Good thing President Trump has that travel ban to Nigeria..remember when he was called racist for that too..pepperidge farm remembers

They’ll do contact tracing. Good chance it will be cornered before it spreads.

Hopefully.

here we go!!!

there's gotta be a hundred thousand Chins in africa

[duckbutt]

Doesn’t China do a lot of business in Africa as a whole? Not sure how specifically in Nigeria —but my guess is that’s where the origin is....

One case detected makes it clear that the virus is spreading undetected? ~ reasonisfaith

Yep, it has “spread undetected” to a grand total of one person. ~ House Atreides

right, SA, a *SINGLE* person “is *PROOF* of an enormous problem” ~ catnipman
This is tripe
One person! One person!
Now all of a sudden there's this vast population base of undetected people. ~ DoughtyOne

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.

What’s a Nigerian prince to do ?

[Mariner]

Isn’t this the most densely populated real country in the world?

210 million people in a country a little bigger than Texas.

“The case is an Italian citizen who works in Nigeria and returned from Milan, Italy to Lagos, Nigeria”

Any place that vectoring-out sick people has it REALLY BAD, so we can add Italy to that list.
