VA, ground zero is always pretty much doomed and the second generation infected doesn't fare much better in any plague. But don't lose hope unless you work at a major transportation hub. If our government can respond swiftly and decisively, an epidemic can be contained by drastic quarantine measures; few toxins are dangerous when diluted by enough air/water. The exceptions are expensive and dangerous to transport--"OOPS, Achmed, I just spilled some plutonium dust in that chai you are drinking"?

I am hoping that we've already seen the cleverest thing these people can do. Taking the WTC towers down COMPLETELY was clever. I was expecting the second attack almost at once if it was going to be bio. By now we'd know. Don't worry--but do wash your hands!!!!!!!

LOL I feel better already. And I do agree with your statement about it being able to be contained. The problem is leaving a contaminated area. The odds of being hit are very very slim, but if you are, I suspect its over for you. If you're not, no need to try to wear a gas mask as you sleep. . as if this could even be done. I doubt it.
