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.

To: null and void
Based on fatalities vs cases that have run the full course of infection I get ≈9.5% fatalities, if only 21.3% of the cases are severe, that would give a net fatality rate of ≈2%.

I have changed my prognosis on the world’s response to KungFlu to profoundly negative. Summed up by this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZuMe5RvxPQ

Italy can’t even find patient zero. Physical attacks on Asians there.

Passengers coming from China through Europe and lying about where they have been.

DHS won’t say it was/wasn’t man made.

CDC can’t even make viable test kits in a reasonable quantity.

The Chi-coms are clearly in total panic.

The economy will take a big hit on this that will be blamed on Trump.
