Singapore follows WHO guidelines & doesn't include non-pneumonia fatalities in its death counts. If the US did the same, we'd have reported only 86,000 COVID-19 deaths so far, or 45% of the 190,000 certified by the CDC as of 9/25.

I bet Singaporean hospitals didn't get paid a bounty for every COVID case reported, nor an extra bonus for every one put on a ventilator!

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. Protect the vulnerable. Free everyone else.
