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...
But CDC Frieden says not following protocol is the problem. Let’s wait until the Ebola czar decides what is right. /sarc
TPTB have know about Ebola for how long and this latest outbreak for how long?
Health/life BUMP! Be prepared.
“We strongly urge the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO) to seek funds for the purchase and transport of PAPRs to all healthcare workers currently fighting the battle against Ebola”
Sorry folks, but the CDC spent that money researching why lesbians tend to be overweight and on the struggles sexually confused individuals suffer through in Canada. A large chunk went to teach Africans how to put condoms on.
That’s far more important than protecting the lives of front line health care workers in the US.
