They’ve got Chinatown.Bring Out Your DeadThe same Chinatown that had a plague outbreak in 1900, and they refused to do anything about it.
It ultimately infected the ground squirrels, and thanks to San Fransisco, today plague can be caught throughout the western US.
This is probably not to time to remind everyone that when the "gay plague" hit San Fransisco, they refused to close the bathhouses...
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.
