Shit.

Now I'm thinking either "test run", "accidental release", or "fizzle".

Of course, if half of Miami comes down with it in the next week. . . .

I hope the CDC determines whether the strain has been selected for antibiotic resistance (I'm sure they're testing it), and releases the news soon.

My mother worrks in S. Florida and she said after the first case one of her co-workers started screaming "we've been attacked. They've sent Anthrax...." Though, now this is kinda freaky. I wonder if they were slipped Anthrax in their Cocaine. ANybody notice that the dead guy was a Paparazzi. There are many people who hate these assholes.

wouldn't that be an interesting twist. illegal narcotics used to spread anthrax. (is that even possible?)

wonder what would happen if  lots of big names started developing anthrax infections. talk abotu bad pr. of course, such an announcement might do a good bit to cut drug use in the states.

Doesn't anyone else find it funny that they found it in the offices of a tabloid publishing company?

The terrorists lived in Delray Beach.  The offices of the Sun is in Boca Raton.  Delray Beach is the next city north of Boca Raton...so very close. (Probably within 10 miles)

Yea, like Sean Penn and Anne Heche.  Those guys have access to Anthrax?  Sh*t, we're in bigger trouble than I thought. [;)]
