Qom is the religious capital of Iran, home to many seminaries and the Shrine of Masoumeh and a bastion for hardliners. The city's economy revolves around the Shrine which thousands of pilgrims from Iran and other countries visit every day...

The Iranian wing. If its as selective of Democrats as its of Iranians, the Democrat media will label it a pandemic.

Actually I think that’s why Democrat Chris Murphey went and visited an Iranian last week. Maybe he was a carrier to infect millions of Iranians!!

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.

Yep. Whatever problem there is in the world no matter where it may be, it is clearly Donald Trump’s fault. Oh my God these people are so freaking stupid!
