On an average day, 30,000 people die in China naturally. They are quarantining millions, shutting down their industries, and even defense manufacturing over this virus.

Anyone who believes the infected/death numbers from the ChiComs should think again.

Wuhan is closed, but the air quality is terrible from smog.

Anything to deny Trump a big win.

Wuhan is closed, but the air quality is terrible from smog.

Smog is a contraction of SMoke and fOG.

Industry and transport in Wuhan are shut down. Where do you suppose the smoke is coming from?

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.
