Looks like the "toast" and "goner" comments are right on...as expected.
I've been watching a press conference of D.C. politicos, mayor and company, on CNN. Looks like several inhalational anthrax cases confirmed, and *two deaths* of postal workers over the weekend with "suspicious" symptoms and test results.
(Don't know if one of them is the postal worker already diagnosed with inhalational anthrax since last Friday...it's possible this is one of the people. Sounds like the two deaths were of others, though, with anthrax only being suspected post mortem.)
Yes, this is very worrisome. I've been waiting for the day when we have less anthrax cases than the day before, and apparently we've not seen the peak yet. The guy in Florida is supposedly doing well, despite surgery to insert various breathing tubes a while back. Congress has now decided not to repopen for business on Tuesday. These anthraxed buildings may be a writeoff. I doubt people will volunteer to go back into them, even after happy-fun-decontamination. American Media is selling and relocating. I wonder how many suspicious pulmonary deaths have flown under the radar to date, because they weren't correctly diagnosed. More bad news will probably follow in the weeks to come. -- Eric Michael Cordian 0+ O:.T:.O:. Mathematical Munitions Division "Do What Thou Wilt Shall Be The Whole Of The Law"
