Breaking News - Anthrax cases
Just listening on FoxNews to reports that there are 2 confirmed cases of inhalation anthrax, and 2 possible deaths.
God help them if they do, from my reading, inhalation anthrax is 99% lethal if not treated within 48 hours.

Quote:
Two postal workers in Washington, D.C., have died, possibly from inhalation anthrax, Washington authorities said Monday.
Dr. Ivan C.A. Walks, Washington's Chief Health Officer, said that the causes of death were "suspicious" and consistent with anthrax, but that tests had not yet come back positive for either individual.
Two other postal workers are currently undergoing treatment for inhalation anthrax, Walks said. And authorities are investigating as many as nine more cases that have aroused concern.
