The next frontier.

My personal fear is that I live in the United States, and 85%(?) of the population have absolutely NO idea of the carnage and terror of an infectious disease and/or virus that can and does sweep through a population.
We are condemned to listen to politicians and bureaucrats whose prime concern is to continue in place.
When the only way to to quarantine those who potentially carry that dread virus, it becomes NOT a health issue, rather a “civil rights” tag is attached.
Those infected, in vast proportions, may indeed die, but their Civil Rights will be fully protected.
That will make one hell of an epitath.

The number of deaths from Ebola has stayed under 5,000 for almost a week. Have people stopped dying?

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...
