To date, health authorities in Mexico’s largely rural Durango state have documented 79 meningitis cases over the past few months.

Meningitis is typically associated with painful inflammation of the brain and spinal cord, often caused by a virus or in some cases bacteria or a fungal infection.

The first case of meningitis in Durango was confirmed late last year when doctors diagnosed several cases of aseptic meningitis, an especially harmful inflammation of the brain.

The infected patients in Durango had all been subjected to surgeries that used spinal anesthesia in private hospitals in the sprawling state’s capital...

Biden will bring the corpses in and grant them citizenship to infect the current citizenry.

Looks like it was from the spinal anesthesia.

At least in Durango.

Sounds like the Messicans are paying a price for allowing all the foreign invaders to pass through their country on their way into America.

I was guessing that Durango’s private hospitals were for gringos looking for cheap or controversial surgery, but after a long search I did not find any evidence of that.

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.

The false positive rate was 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...

Quarantine the sick. Protect the vulnerable. Hang the guilty. Free everyone else.

It's not really so mysterious then, is it?

It takes some effort to get a global pandemic going. Bird flu, Ebola, SARS, etc. this one fizzled out.
