So glad we are sending 1,000s of troops there to die.

(Yes, sarcasm)

Perhaps I should consider moving to Britain or some other responsible government.

Yes, and this is another bad virus — a little different from Ebola but not much — mortality rate is a bit lower though.

Both Marburg and Ebola have been around since at least 1976.

We cannot link this to what is happening in West Africa

One in East Africa and the the other in West Africa. He's right, there's no link at all.

In the Twitter universe, the low infos would think that cute little Ebola was dating the dashing Marburg!

I've heard two different news reports that what we are seeing is actually Marburg Virus. I have heard two doctors with Ebola experience say that Ebola literally melts internal organs and bones within 48 hours and there is no recovery. One who was working in Africa in the outbreak in the late 70s said their only strategy to contain spread was to quarantine entire villages and let everyone die.

If it is Marburg, however perversely, I would be relieved. Very relieved. It means that a deadly airborne virus has come, but thankfully it is not Ebola and is not an airborne version of Ebola.

Either way, I have very little confidence after listening to Obama’s spokespeople and the guy from CDC Atlanta.

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...
