They shop short of accusing China of engineering a WMD and deliberately unleashing it on the world.

Probably a bad idea to recognize an act of a shootin' war with and between nuclear powers. Better to make them pay dearly by non-nuclear weapons means.

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.

The false positive rate was 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 or one old fart’s life, it's worth it.

Agree. CIC is the one to declare that it was an act of war. Which he may or may not do, we shall see. They need to pay very, very dearly and I have no doubt that Trump is doing and will do so even more.

And now CCP is declaring a second wave, how timely.
