Eeeee-bolllll-aaaaaa ping!
Bring Out Your Dead
We’re gonna need
a bigger cart!
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...
I am not a proponent of sending our troops to West Africa. I don’t want them anywhere near Ebola, but who is going to protect our agency personnel in-country over there? Should we pull out all U.S. personnel, including over 100 CDC staff? I don’t know. What is the risk if we let Ebola continue to spiral out of control as infections rise 700 a week? I don’t know that either.
I am also not a fan of WND’s journalism. The troops will not be dealing with patients one-on-one and shutting off air traffic to and from West Africa will not stop Ebola.
This is an unprecedented, unmitigated disaster.
