PING!!!
Have we suspended flights to West Africa, yet?
Delta is ending it’s Liberia service from Atlanta, but what about United?
what bottle?
there’s been no quarantining of cities or grounding of flights
I fully expect to see Ebola cases in the US by 9-11
Can we get afraid and concerned now? or are we suppose to be in the mindset group of, don’t say anything; just be happy, don’t worry.
Thanks for posting. BTTT!

Health/life BUMP!
I heard that it was a different version than the one in west Africa. I guess there are several strains of Ebola, some more deadly than others.
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...
From what I read on another thread, the virus strains are different. The cases in DRC are Sudanese/Zaire variations.
The question is how the hell could there be simultaneous outbreaks of different strains.
I try not to wear my tin hat and think through these things critically, but this whole thing has a Stephen King vibe to it.
