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.
Can I say, I just dont understand these flu numbers. I have been watching the state by state flu deaths reported by health departments, and to date none even reach 100. Im not seeing anything near 10,000 that is claimed. Not saying it isnt bad, just that I dont understand the totals the CDC comes up with.
