It's pingie thingie time!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.
The false positive rate was 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 or one old farts life, it's worth it.
More pings, sorry if I missed anyone

CNN anchor Brooke Baldwin has tested positive for coronavirus
It looks more and more like the decision has been made that slowing the virus wins out over saving the economy.
The eventual attempt to rebuild it will be interesting.

State confirms 7 deaths from coronavirus at St. John Parish veterans home
BY GORDON RUSSELL | STAFF WRITER APR 3, 2020 - 9:25 AM
At least seven residents of a state-run home for military veterans in St. John the Baptist Parish have died after testing positive for coronavirus, and at least 18 residents of the home have been infected so far, state officials confirmed late Thursday.
The cluster of deaths at the Southeast Louisiana Veterans Home in Reserve appears to be the second-deadliest outbreak of the coronavirus in a facility for Louisiana seniors. At Lambeth House in Uptown New Orleans, at least 53 residents have tested positive and 13 have died from the coronavirus.

On the current track it looks like 1100 or 1200 for today.
I agree. I take several hours a day and work in my garden and doing other farm work. It is very restorative
how long before Don Lemon and Anderson cooper get it? surely they just got tested

waiting for the fix
Let me guess. It wasnt me it was the Distributors! How did I do?
I agree, although I would say saving lives is saving the economy.
If one goes down they both do, honestly.
So?
