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.

I wonder what long-term effect Coronavirus will have on support for the open borders globalist agenda. I hope and pray that we will return to sanity - not an isolationist bunker mentality but a responsible level of national independence.

Kind of like a suicide bomber but biological, I’d guess.

Get them sick with corona and send them to countries of their choice to infect as many others before being caught.

Interesting tactic.
