“In a statement, the WHO said that motorbike-taxis and regular taxis are “a hot source of potential virus transmission” in Liberia where conventional Ebola control interventions “are not having an adequate impact”.”

I’m sure it won’t be a problem here if it gets in the public transportation system. After all, we don’t have sex with dead bodies or anything like that /s.

Sounds like the old assumptions about transmission and safety need a little revision, or two.

If you can catch it from a taxi ride, then the old “very close and personal contact” rubric is not operable.

We are told that the only way to spread Ebola is with contact with bodily fluids. If that is the case, how can is spread so rapidly? Is there something our government is not telling us???

Does Obama want to send American soldiers over there to ‘help’... help get infected then bring it back here?

Entering the logarithmic phase. September. Look at the parallels with the time of the 1918 Flu epidemic.

Bring Out Your Dead

We’re gonna need

a bigger cart!

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...
