National Geographic was cited. Interesting.

There’s quite a bit here about the doctor who was arrested before issuing a statement of guilt along with other information on how the government over there controls speech.

They did not provide a source link. At the time of this post, Googling the direct quotes cited shows only kaztag.kz and FR as sources for what was cited. I can not find those quotes at nationalgeographic.com.

Maybe there is some kind of translation error here?

Of course it did. I think there was a lab biochemical weapon lab in that province something leaked out and there you go. Please correct me if I’m wrong but I think that’s what I read.

Letting the Chinese play with pathogens is like letting a caveman play with an armed nuclear weapon. In either instance, nothing good is going to happen.

because what else do you do with a barely 70-yr-old Mao-ist Great Leap Backward country - why, give ‘em a biolab! What could possibly go wrong in a country where even basic hand washing is a foreign concept?

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.
