The patient in Washington state, now recovering because we used an experimental drug, was a 35yr old healthy non smoker.

He’d have died by now or still been in critical in the ICU had we not used that drug.

Wonderful! A non-smoking Chinese. Lots of them.
...........
Doesn’t change my point. The rate of smoking is very high among Chinese communities all over. Not to mention the incredible air pollution all over China.

Background health is critical in fighting off this bug.

All true.

I’ve just seen a lot of ‘i don’t have to worry about this because i don’t smoke and i’m not 80’ posts.

Bring Out Your Dead

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.

Agreed, we all have to worry.

The media loves to stoke a story and play to our fears.

Here in WA almost 6,000 people died from the flu, most of them would be alive if they had gotten inoculated.
