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...

17 have died in Wisconsin. Many seem to be elderly with underlying conditions...heart, lung etc. Have not been able to pin point the source.

Well, don’t drink the water, eat the food, shake hands, breathe second-hand air, use public toilets or have sex with anyone while you’re there and you’ll probably be safe.

Really? To early in the morning for funnies - to avoid the area if possible.

I believe it only affects people who are already dying.

Think I’ll get a Tyvek suit with a bubble over the head and breathe canned air. Or something.

May be mosquito born - but not proved. Use products with Deet to be sure. DDT to be absolutely sure — oh ... the birds, the children oh my.

There's always the "Naked Gun" solution:

DDT to be absolutely sure oh ... the birds, the children oh my. When I was a 'children', we used to play and ride our bikes behind the DDT fogger trucks. (Actually a jeep with a fogger trailer, more fun than when the C-47s fogged from the air, we couldn't keep up with them!)
Really enjoyed watching the skeeters drop dead around us as we followed the truck.

Nothing happens until I have my first cup of coffee in the morning. Nothing. Then I’ll have my second. Who knows what happens after that.
