when Ebola patients vomit, it’s filled with the virus
one drop of infected blood on your skin is enough to infect and has a very high probability to kill
not quarantining those countries is beyond stupid
towns better start drawing up plans to self quarantine and keep people out

On the plus side, when Germans get biological fear, they react forcefully. I spoke with an old German dermatologist who remembered the last time Germany had a trichinosis outbreak, in the 1950s. He said it was like returning to Nazi days, as anyone who sold meat might get a 2am wake up call by inspectors, who would inspect every bit of meat, including canned meat, by opening it, in his store.
The same way the zombie virus spread.

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...
