Dancing with rotted corpses? What could go wrong? Anyone?
Did you read what the people think? That the government is exaggerating/ fabricating the plague to get more money ahead of the elections. “I will always practice the turning of the bones of my ancestors — plague or no plague. The plague is a lie,” Helene Raveloharisoa told the wire service. Good night! What is wrong with these people!?
Wow, the dead must not smell much worse than the living, otherwise, how could anyone stand it?
These people actually DO play “wake the dead”.
I’m glad I was born in America.
Is “Dancing Queen” playing when they dance with the corpses?
We’re lucky Obama didn’t know about this. He would have brought them all to America
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...
" Madagascar's plague outbreak is spreading at an alarming rate Health officials suspect it’s no coincidence that the outbreak
— which has infected more than 1,100 people and killed 124 since August
— coincides with the time of year when families customarily exhume the remains of dead relatives,
wrap them in a sheet, and dance with them through the streets in a sacred ritual, AFP reports."
As another FReeper asks :" Dead count up to 124 now.
Dancing with rotted corpses? What could go wrong? Anyone?"
