DeKalb Schools blocks two from school amid Ebola concerns
Two Dunwoody students who recently returned from West Africa were blocked from enrolling in DeKalb schools this week as a precaution against the spread of Ebola.

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...

I’m somewhat surprised to see the DeKalb County Schools doing something so sensible. Kudos to them.
I can't believe it! Dekalb did something right! I guess they were bound to make a mistake and NOT do the wrong thing sooner or later.
