He: I think we should worry

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.
How about tests BEFORE they leave their sh*t hole country???
They should also include pig ebola, which has killed 1/5th of the world pork supply since Spring. The swine in China, Cambodia, Vietnam and other East Asian regions has already suffered a 40% die-off from pig ebola (called African Swine Fever by the world health people to remove the ebola connection in the public’s perception).
“...EBOLA screeners to test blood samples...”
Not a job with much of a future and retirement benefits.
How do you keep the traveler isolated until you get results back?
Will you test everyone arriving from a certain country, or specific airport, or plane?
If one passenger tests positive, does that mean everyone on that plane must be tested? How do you get them to stick around?
Another airline "perk" - minimum-wage wannabe "doctors" poking you with needles. This should be fun to legislate.
Does this mean thousands of African “climate refugees” or “migrants” are on their way here with a layover in the Bahamas?
What about the Africans who stormed across our southern border?
Some of them did just that and were re-settled in Portland, Maine awaiting their “asylum” hearings. Send them back!
Many of them are from African countries with Ebola.
