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...
If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.
Good grief! Every other thread is on coronavirus!
I think I need a little break from FR for a little bit.
Do you have your mask yet ?
No, I’ll save it for you
Most Everyone at the restaurant with the idiot from China will probably get it.
“China upped the death toll to 39”
They probably forgot a couple of zero’s
APT is the stock for the masks. You could see the panic in the price today but it fell off some. Didn’t sell mine at the peak.
It’s the new internet fun-time obsession. Bored people will meme this thing into the Black Plague before Monday.
Like years ago when were all obsessed about “WW3” with Iran.
OTOH people are still posting threads and comments.
39 in a country of 1.2 billion. How scary. France must have 100 million people. 3 cases in a country of 100 million. How frightening. Pretty soon they will have 10 or 20 and then they will have 30. And then none. I guess it gives people something to worry about.
Seems to be 2.7% to 3% fatality range - not a good thing if they can’t control/treat/prevent it from spreading.
