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.

The problem is we have no idea what the real numbers are. Considering all that they’re suddenly doing in China - - cities of millions locked down - - I have a feeling they’re much higher than they’re saying.

Actually the flu has an average mortality of less than one tenth of one percent.

Yes, he’s been covering this around the clock. Getting very little sleep, I’m sure.

That’s a percent of all deaths.

Not a percent of people who contracted the flu.

Has Greta blamed the virus on climate change yet?

Greta is probably praying for a 98% kill rate to help stop Climate Change.

I’m not referring to the number who have died. I’m referring to the number of cases reported so far. I don’t think we’ve been told the truth about any of it by China and neither do many others. You don’t shut down huge cities over a few cases of a virus.

The # is fluid. it’s going up every hour...and more countries having confirmed cases to report. They just kept the country [China] open to travel WAY too long before reacting.

Greta might want to reconsider making international flights for a while.

“ So far, 8,200 people have died and 140,000 people have been hospitalized during the 2019-2020 flu season, according to preliminary estimates from the CDC.‘

That’s 5.8%

You’re right, looks like about 26.4 million people in the USA have the flu at any given time in the Winter. So like maybe .0076% die from it per week? Lots of math, and unreliable #’s due to “unreported” flu cases...not everyone goes to the doctor/hospital for it...leading to “guesstimates”.

Not everyone has been hospitalized with the flu.

Most people self treat the flu at home.

Only a small fraction of people who contract the flu end up in a hospital.

Great map. Thanks!

But it doesn’t even show the ones in the Philippines, Australia, France and America, etc.

Greta is rooting for the virus - she’s hoping for a 40% kill off of the earth’ s population
