The World Health Organization has approved the first rapid test for Ebola in a potential breakthrough for ending an epidemic that has killed almost 10,000 people in West Africa, it said on Friday.

The test, developed by Corgenix Medical Corp, is less accurate than the standard PCR test but is easy to perform, does not require electricity, and can give results within 15 minutes, WHO spokesman Tarik Jasarevic said.

the cure to obola requires an incantation:
many years ago when i was an old man, my young mother taught me to drive. But one day, while breastfeeding on her, the gear shifted and we hit a small blade of grass. The blade fell over and hit a small elephant which died instantly. Later that morning before the cock crowed, i laid down in my pillow for the night. The moon shone darkly upon my little dead elephant. Oh how i miss how he use to stand at attention at her presence at the doorway.

this must be repeated three times, while bowing backwards while wearing an off white silk slip and pantyhose (sheer only) and facing mecca or obama’s toilet in the white house.

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...
