Wishful thinking going back long before the H1H1 flu that was supposed to be extremely widespread and deadly and was NOTHING.
I am beginning to understand that it is not about warning us to a possible pandemic, but they are hoping for one to depopulate the earth. It is just wishful thinking on their part. Of course they expect that their inoculations and technology will save them from being part of the 60% who dies, but it is purely wishful thinking on their part.

It probably is wishful thinking ... the ultimate ZPG ... but I do hope somebody has enough self-interest or smarts to keep an eye on this. Watch the incredibly sad movie “1918” (Horton Foote, writer and director) if you want to know what a serious flu outbreak is like.

Wishful thinking going back long before the H1H1 flu that was supposed to be extremely widespread and deadly and was NOTHING. So might this another ploy to put tax dollars into the pockets of special interest groups like AGW alarmists, wind machine farms, California high-speed train?

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...

IIRC we went through this overhyped panic some years ago and nothing came of it. Are we being "prepared" for round 2?

My mother had memories of the 1918 pandemic, as she was born in 1912. She started school a year late because all of the schools had to be closed to lessen the chance of spreading the disease. (Maybe there was also a shortage of teachers at that point....)
