One case detected makes it clear that the virus is spreading undetected? ~ reasonisfaithBring Out Your DeadYep, 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!

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.
