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.

Heck, I just got the normal flu and it’s freaky these days....

Thank you so much.

If it weren’t for these threads and the devotion of those who post news and links faithfully every day, I would be lost.

Working in a hospital has gotten me thinking and observing more than usual for the last month. For some reason I can’t explain, this virus “felt” different to me from the beginning. I’ve found a degree of complacency- even apathy- when talking about it at work or with friends. It disturbs me because so many will be caught off guard when tshtf.

There’s NO excuse for our government’s behavior yet it’s unsurprising.

I’m grateful to you all for being interested and active!
