A milder form? Really?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.
worldometer is reporting that the US has it’s 16th case in Humbolt county North Carolina. And a close contact has symptoms as well. They are isolating at home.
“a milder form of the disease”
Is that uneducated journalist optimism? Or is that a doctor’s opinion? Or the opinion of a microbiologist or virology specialist?
