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...
I read somewhere that Legionarre’s never disappeared. What’s not common is identified clusters. Does it sometimes get diagnosed as pneumonia?
There is a link between water temperature and fine spray shower heads. Low water temps, i.e. energy saving, allow the bacteria to grow and fine spray, i.e water saving, shower heads aerosolize the bacteria allowing it to be inhaled. Once in the lungs it enters the blood stream.
Neat uh? Some cities and hotel chains recognize this and keep their water hot. To prevent scalding they install special valves.
Legionnaires Ping....
RIP.
Now it is SEVEN dead. This seems like a major outbreak, and what good is the CDC or the NYCHD?
