I thought you might be interested.
Yep, the little rascals brought their own construction crews and armed guards to the Dark Continent.
Wonder how the Chicoms handle exposure for their troops and employees.....
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...
Sounds like a the movie World War Z or Contagion.
Thanks. Last I heard they were sending 300. This would be a dramatic increase from that number.
Unless they are willing to shoot large numbers of people this is worse than pointless. You think none of them will get infected?
It does doesn’t it?
Yes it is quite an increase, isn’t it?
I expect both their troops and ours will get infected. I assume that if the Brits are going to do a blockade, they will use their weapons to enforce it.
I find it interesting that their officials and press at least mention the issue of restricting movement. Whereas ours pretend that the troops will just go over there and all will be perfect harmony.
Que Sera Sera.
Good questions.
Well, unless they take the full Zombie killing precautions of shoot them, don’t touch the corpses, and burn them from a distance, plus go with level 4 containment protocols, then they will be okay.
