So this is the next in a long line of “latest and greatest” pandemics that are going to kill us off.

Just another reason to halt immigration and Quarantine America. Illegals are returning us to pre WWII levels of infectious diseases and types. Not to mention these Ebola type diseases.

"Illegals are returning us to pre WWII levels ..."

Illegals and legals are bringing these Third World
diseases into unprotected America. The unwarranted numbers
of legal Third World "immigration" into America
must be stopped. No more immigration or work visas
or green cards for the Third World pestilence harboring
peoples and nations. America did not vote this.

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.

#8: "Let me guess - this virus originate in Norway? Japan?"

LOL. You are such a stitch!

It originated in Kerala, India. Kerala is India's communist run state, and has been run by communists since the late 1950s. Also plenty of homos in Kerala too, that coastline (along with Goa) is known as India's "homosexual Riviera". These are favored destinations by first world homo "vacationers".

What a surprise, world threatening epidemic takes originates in debauched third world sh*thole. What a surprise!

if this virus had killed 200 million of India’s 1 billion+, I might be tempted to call it an epidemic.

it does not become global until it spreads outside of India and hit multiple continents.

I am so sick of this hysterical fear-mongering.

It sounds like we have very little time left to pass universal gun background checks and a new AWB.

How else could we stop this threat?

I know! Iknow! Ribbons! We can all wear little loopy ribbons. All we have to do is pick a color scheme that hasn't been used to death already.... oh, wait.

Nevermind. How about we all change the color of our Fakebook page background to black? Or something... That's bound to work!!
