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...
A Wisconsin Elementary School got hit with Norovirus this week. The school is being totally scrubbed by professionals and should be able to re-open on Monday. Something like SIXTY little kids got sick - no deaths so far.
“A common way the virus is transmitted is through close contact with an infected person. This is either directly or indirectly, such as sharing a bathroom, a dorm room or another communal space. Cruise ships, schools, and nursing homes ‘are the most commonly reported settings for norovirus outbreaks,’ according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).”
