Iran will take this perfect opportunity to weaponize the stuff and kill half the world.

This thing is in the wild...everywhere. There already might be millions infected but not showing any symptoms yet.

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...

If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.

> Qom where a holy shrine has thousands of visitors every day and officials have introduced initiatives to prevent the people from touching and kissing the walls and ornaments around the shrine.

But of course they wipe down the walls and ornaments with disinfectant after each person kisses them, right? RIGHT???

Oh, wait...

It must be that, in the second and third week of January, that any businessmen and mid-level party officials who had an excuse to leave China “on business” did so.

It would be interesting to know how many sons of Central Committee members remain in China today.

UPDATE: Iran confirms 10 new cases, 5th death

Update 6:15 a.m. EST Feb 22: The numbers might sound low, but the surge in diagnosed novel coronavirus cases in Iran is boosting concerns among global health officials the outbreak could soon reach pandemic levels.

Iran’s health ministry confirmed 10 new cases of the virus – bringing the country’s total to 28 – and a fifth fatality.

The ripple effect among travelers, however, is sounding alarm bells among infectious disease experts.

According to the New York Times, cases confirmed in both Canada and Lebanon have been traced to travel to and from Iran.

“The cases that we see in the rest of the world, although the numbers are small, but not linked to Wuhan or China, it’s very worrisome,” Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, director-general of the World Health Organization, said Friday at a news conference at the agency’s headquarters in Geneva. “These dots are actually very concerning.”

Kianoush Jahanpour, Iran’s health ministry spokesman, said that of the 10 latest reported cases, two were diagnosed in Tehran and eight are in Qom.

According to The Associated Press, two elderly patients died in Qom Wednesday and the two Tehran patients either visited or had links to Qom.

Iran - 43cases... 8 deaths (officially)

However, I’m hearing that number is 18 dead (which would mean about 900 cases, if 2% case fatality rate)
