The sick passenger had completed the journey from Las Vegas but was escorted off the plane once it landed at Baltimore/Washington Airport Saturday afternoon...

several of us here are interested to see if any caucasian people are catching it. So far it appears that answer is no but hard to tell with news reports.

I presume all ethnicities are vulnerable....if this is not a man made virus.

As I have stated before, I Have a blood disorder that is more common in certain ethnicities. Asia is one of them but mine likely came from Mediterranean origin.

Ethnicity may effect the virus and it’s mutations.

ROTFL! 😄

I know this virus is a serious subject, but that pic is funny as hell.

*** calling into question US strategy to contain it. ***

There is no realistic US Strategy to contain it. Flights from China to US inviting thousands of incoming potential disease vectors continue unabated.

Everyone I know is sick and coughing, but ya know, it is winter.

This story was posted this morning. I laughed out loud.

For example:

“Life is of paramount importance. This has been seen clearly in the work by the Communist Party of China during its seven decades of governance in the new China. Putting people’s lives first has always been a priority when working to make Chinese people’s lives safer, richer and healthier.”

There is a video of a man with a lose fitting mask in a rage at a hospital over their lack of care. There are several people behind the desk in full biohazard gear from head to toe. I can’t find it now. I half expected military people to burst through the door and haul him away to prison.

Funny you should mention that because watching the videos linked here https://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3811220/posts I found it peculiar that there is not a uniformed person in any of them.

Which leads me to wonder if the military is simply not showing up (seems unlikely) or if anyone caught filming the military is promptly separated from their cell phone.

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...

If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.
