It looks like this Maryland case is a real Case #2. If he survives, it'll mean the Sturgeon General was right to say we now can handle anthrax. But I expect he's a goner.
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.) Expect more chaos, then. And more police state measures. --Tim May "That the said Constitution shall never be construed to authorize Congress to infringe the just liberty of the press or the rights of conscience; or to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms." --Samuel Adams
