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...

So we have two separate independent virus-strains potentially capable of being the Next Big One, appearing from different places.

Great, as Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD) said earlier today at Benghazi hearing: “Death Is A Part Of Life”.

So suck it up, fellas.
