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...
The idiots in the CDC and WHO: “we MUST bring the infected here!”
Unlike Ebola, the new virus,spread by the feces of the flying mammals, primarily causes psychosis. It affects only liberals,rendering them batshit crazy.
A few weeks ago I found a lucky penny covered in batshit.
there are not too many ways to make ebola worse, but making it fly is certainly one of them.
Bats are a protected species in Britain. I watched a program about a couple who were renovating/restoring a historically listed building to live in. There were bats nesting in a specific area under the roof. The couple by law would have to continue to provide that resting/nesting spot for the bats. You can't just simply get rid of them. You can be arrested if you do.
Unanimous is very mountainous and relatively unpopulated. That said, if this virus was really bad for people, China is a very bad place to start an epidemic. All those new middle class Chinese would hop on the first plane to Vancouver or San Francisco or Singapore, and then it’s all she wrote.
From bat-shit crazy to bat-shit deadly.

Researchers from Singapore's Duke-NUS Medical School, in collaboration with scientists in China,
have identified and characterised a new genus of filovirus from a Rousettus bat in China.
Their findings were published in the journal Nature Microbiology.
Bat-borne viruses around the world pose a threat to human and animal health.
Filoviruses, especially Ebola virus and Marburg virus, are notoriously pathogenic and capable of causing severe and often fatal fever diseases in humans by affecting many organs and damaging blood vessels.
Researchers named it the Měnglà virus because it was discovered in Měnglà County, Yunnan Province, China.
The Měnglà virus is genetically distinct, sharing just 32%-54% of its genetic sequence with other known filoviruses.
It is found in different geographic locations compared to other filoviruses.
This new genus, which could include more than one species, sits in between Ebola virus and Marburg virus on the evolutionary tree.
The Měnglà virus also uses the same molecular receptor, a protein called NPC1, as Ebola virus and Marburg virus to gain entry into cells and cause infection.
