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.

Civets again?Perhaps.
IIRC, ferrets can get human influenza (or was that the common cold?)...

We have zero vaccinations for viral pneumonia. Arguably, since many cases of viral pneumonia start with influenza, one could assert that the flu vaccination provides some protection from viral pneumonia.
Thanks for the comment. I thought we did have a vaccine for viral pneumonia.
Interesting that we don't, eh?

“We have zero vaccinations for viral pneumonia.”
I got vaccinated for it. It’s really bad for the old folks (that would be me).

We have zero vaccinations for viral pneumonia besides the Flu Shot on the market now. It may not cover this virus.
This is a correction of an earlier post of mine minus some coffee and input from Mom Md.

concern it may have been transmitted from animals.Bam! Knew it from the headline. It's always birds or pigs over there. It's always bush meat in Africa. It's always illegals and immigrants in the US.

One of my husband’s military friends (USAMRIID) says the Chinese are not sharing data on this outbreak like they have with past outbreaks.
While they have quarantined the area and the affected people it should be noted that they have done the same thing in the past when they are actually ‘quarantining’ Muslims, Falun Gong, Christians, Catholics, and other protesters.
There’s also a chance that this isn’t pneumonia but instead a further spread of the November 2019 pneumonic plague outbreak:
