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.

The false positive rate was 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...

Quarantine the sick. Shield the vulnerable. Free everyone else!

I’ve been criticized for advocating a ‘shield the vulnerable’ approach. Some have called that ‘age discrimination. If the elderly are to be confined at home and told to wear masks, then everyone should be confined and told to wear masks.
