It’s probably true that he died.
Not so sure about “from infection”.
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.
It’s what totalitarians have done since before the taming of fire.
Bkmk
It makes the containment of the virus harder, if information concerning its spread is squelched by mindless bureaucrats.
Yep.
REDUNDANCY ALERT!
34 years old (BCC) before he succumbed to communism.

Sorry, thats huge. I dont know how to size images
It’s not too big but you can adjust the size by putting “width=400” or whatever number you want at the end but before this character “>”
He looks pretty healthy to me. Maybe a tad frightened.
I’m sure his communist masters really went out of their way to save him.
That pic was making the rounds on Twitter about a week ago
According to this source, he is alive, on ECMO

All major news outlets still reporting “dead”.
I hope he is still alive.
Me too. Well probably never know.
