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.

The R0 in first world nations is below 1. We wash our hands. We don’t raise and slaughter animals in our living spaces. We aren’t so densely packed into cities, and rural areas have all of the amenities of large cities.

Large apartment towers share the same air handling between residents. Human feces are used as fertilizer for vegetables in China.

If the virus gets deeply into the PLA, the CCP may lose their grip on the population.

I think the steps the feds took today are pretty aggressive. I’m sure more radical steps are in the offing if the virus doesn’t show signs of containment here in the US. After the Chinese left the barn door open for a month while telling no one, the chances this not running it’s course kinda disappeared.

“But the Chinese government’s revealed preference — what it’s actually doing, rather than saying”

Actions speak louder than words despite the naysayers words on this forum and elsewhere.

This is an insightful piece. It’s beginning to look as if the nurse or doc that did the YouTube video about a week back saying 90k in Wuhan had the virus was right and wasn’t some conspiracy whackjob.

There were several videos that first week...but they have stopped. No freedom in China.

It must be a true crisis for them to do what they’re doing. And not one leader across the world says a word about the lies the Chinese government has told.

Oddly enough- it’s docs and scientists who are calling them out.

Haunggang has also been quarantined to their homes.
