Here’s another article about the same issue.
I’m trying to figure out what this means. Almost sounds like he’s creating a new bureaucracy within the US Post office.
On the surface using the post office to deliver medicine in the event of a biologic attack seems stupid.
“United States Postal Service Delivery of Medical Countermeasures.”
Geez, having this “crack” government organization delivering meds after the government H1N1 team developes
the meds.........???? bwaaaaaaaaa
Does H1N1 qualify as a “large-scale biological attack” by the UN?
Geez , this means that my neighbors who get my mail will now get my life saving medication. My mail peson never canread the name on the mail and I get their mail and they get mine.
Ben making complaints as have the neighbors for a year or more , but her feet appear to be in concrete
How utterly useless. A few useful facts about anthrax.
1) Ordinary anthrax is endemic to the soil of central North America, from Mexico through the central US, into Canada. Where there are cattle or where there used to have been buffalo, there is anthrax. In its spore form, it can live in the soil for at least 1000 years. The spores are hard to destroy, even in an autoclave.
2) Military grade anthrax is very rare. Only two countries, the US and Russia, were ever known to have produced it. Russia even had an accident while doing so, in the city of Sverdlovsk (formerly, and now again, Yekaterinburg), that killed a bunch of people.

Importantly, it was in a form, and released in just such a way as to maximize its effect just downwind (across the street) from where it was released.
3) This is critical, because anthrax spores are like many other powders. Unless you have an elaborate and sophisticated way of dispersing it, it will likely not travel very far in ways that will infect people. Compare it to a powder like baby powder. It can indeed spread far and wide, but the vast majority of it will “go to waste”.
I still think it is strange that Obama, Biden and Polosi are out of the country at the same time. I don’t trust anything this president does by executive order. The timing is weird and I wonder what kind of briefing he recently got.
This will never happen.
Sounds way too much like the New Orleans’ plan for school bus drivers to evacuate residents. In case of a flood.
We all remember how well that worked.
Sorry, if need medicine to survive an attack I want it FED EXED!

The anthrax incidents -- which subsided after the November death of an elderly widow in Connecticut -- prompted significant changes in how the U.S. Postal Service handles and treats the mail, including the installation of new cleaning equipment and irradiation of mail sent to Congress.passed through the mail facility in Trenton, NJ, shortly after the B. anthracis contaminated letters addressed to two U.S. Senators. However, no such letters are known to have been received by this patient. On November 21, approximately 900 postal employees at two facilities in CT were started on either ciprofloxacin or doxycycline, pending the results of further investigation.
They have specific, credible evidence of Al Qaeda or similar's intent to use bioterror within the US, and are trying to get in front of it.
Think of the mass infections (H1N1? Pneumonic plague?) in the Ukraine a month or two ago.
But Obama is such a metrosexual pussy, Muslim, Marxist mole and faggot that he forgets -- standing U.S. Policy from time immemorial has been :
"If you use bioweapons on *us*, we will use nukes on *you*".
(See also Tom Clancy.)
He ought to spread the word in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran, and Saudi Arabia, that if the U.S. gets hit with bioweapons, we will *assume* their guilt before evidence.
And ask (fingering our Trident subs or missiles in North Dakota) if they are feeling lucky, Muslim punks?
Cheers!
