Community spread. I wonder how long COVID-19 has really been in the U.S., but was not diagnosed because there were no test kits.

It has been an interesting week.

No test kits, flu symptoms, flu season.

When you hear hoof beats, assume horses, not zebras.

But sometimes it really is zebras...

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.
