This is a story the Main stream news media is not focusing on. The CDC is making major mistakes in mishandling major diseases. Someone was recently contaminated with Ebola because they did not follow the procedures.

Rather than create a new position, shouldn’t they instead just replace the person who is in charge of that job right now?

So the problem is that everyone was just doing everything randomly up to this point?

Everything’s all right now folks. They will have a safety chief.

We were told they were the best before they were caught violating their own protocols repeatedly for years.

But now one safety chief will be the solution to everything effed up in the cdc.

Thank you big govt. Thank you so much.

Exclusive: CDC to hire lab safety chief after Ebola, bird flu mishaps

At what salary?

I guess if the head of the CDC is any indicator, The CDC is too incompetent to follow lab safety rules, so expand the bloated buraeucracy and bring in another level of incompetence.

“hire lab”

Maybe a Labrador would run things better than this crowd of incompetents!

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...
