It's no more serious than an ordinary flu, folks...

Nothing to see here, move along...

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.

But they likely were contagious before they broke into a fever...

That's going to be one busy call center. Maybe name tags connected to a fitbit instead?

[Dr. Sivana]

They will need more people to collect the numbers, get useful results, and report them as needed.

The Democrats doing that in Iowa should be about done with that here.

Right here, right now, it is MUCH LESS dangerous than the flu.

Unless you’ve moved to that part of China :)

Too many here lump China and the US in together as to how they approach a situation like this.

Or some just like drama.

At least let’s get a few hundred cases in the US before we start screaming like little girls :)

ciao

Maybe they can hire the Iowa Democrat Party to keep tabulations for the city

[FtrPilot]

Are they issuing free rectal thermometers?

[RummyChick]

Then what happens. I saw a video where workers were shoving a guy against his will into a van.

So you report you have a temp. they come get you and shove you in a van and take you to a crematorium??? Well... a little bit of an exaggeration but what are they going to do with you

Hospital staff already cant handle the volume

Wouldn’t sharing an improperly sanitized thermometer put people at risk ...

[GulfMan]

That will be within the next week

[AU72]

The flu in the US has already killed over 10,000 this season.

My brother-in-law succumbed 3 years ago.

Check back in next week...

This police state crap is what the Nazi-Commie oligarchs had in mind for us, and most like by the same vehicle - plague of some sort. Prima Facie evidence for the advantages to human freedom implicit within a world composed by independent nations states. They provide the underpinnings of analytical logic - comparison.

Why are they not dealing with underwear?

Wuhan should require ALL 11 million citizens to change their underwear every half hour.

Underwear MUST be worn on the outside so they can check.

[NEMDF]

So.... they are going to start killing them off, as soon as they have a bit of a fever, it sounds like. One way to reduce the threat of spreading, I suppose.

Watch this video starting at 36 minutes, and watch all the way to at least 54 minutes.

The narrator is an idiot, but the video is beyond belief.
