Thanks for giving us the correct scoop. I heard same from another doctor, on one of the cable channels. Thanks
Name them, please.

Listen, I already said that I wouldnt be suprised if this man had anthrax and I wouldnt be suprised if another person comes down with it before its all done. Sorry if Im not going to start screaming the sky is falling! This is war and is anyone REALLY shocked that we are under attack? Running around hystericaly and wetting myself is NOT going to do me or anyone else any good whatsoever.
We are a nation of civilized people and we must not loose grip on our sanity, determination, and will when we are presented under these types of circumstances.
Just heard on KFBK (local radio) That only now has Gray out Davis decided to call a meeting to see where Californis stands in preparedness against BIO_WARFARE.
WHERE THE HE@L HAS HE BEEN!!!
That's if anyone notices. If they can get the plane in the air from an abandoned airfield at night, they can spray all night long to their heart's content without being noticed. You can't really tell the difference between a crop duster and a single-engine plane when you're on the ground and the plane's way up there.
And dispersal is best done at night, preferably an overcast night. Exposure to sunlight can render the bacteria benign. If they do it that way, everybody wakes up and goes about their day like nothing happened.
Yes.Thanks.
Wrong. And if you're really an MD, then you know it.
With pulmonary anthrax, by the time "you get sick", you are doomed. You need to begin treatment before the symptoms appear. Thus says every medical authority I've read -- except for you. Hmm...
No different than at any other time? What gall. What amazing gall.
It's pretty cruel of you to pull a virtual-triage stunt like that here, Mr. Newbie. Um, "Dr." Newbie. Do you really -- I mean, really -- think that "avoiding panic" is worth giving people advice that can kill them? Or perhaps you're just a vengeful SOB, mad as hell about the HMO capitation system? (hey, I served on a state HMO commission, I quit in disgust, "I Feel Your Pain"(tm)) Maybe you're looking to sock it to the HMOs with the Body Count from Hell? Or maybe you're hoping the survivors of any anthrax victims that die because they took your advice will lobby the snot out of Congress to pass some HMO laws that you'll like better than the capitation system?
Or maybe you're here because it's your job?
So do tell, Dr. I-Just-Showed-Up-Today. I'm like Farmer Jones' back 40. I'm all ears.
And to nip your question in the bud, no, I'm not a doctor. And I'm not giving medical advice. I'm merely calling you on the medical advice you so arrogantly gave here on your first day of membership.
D*mn it, Bones!
It's going to take more than salt shakers and electric razors to stop this diabolical germ...
I've got a five year mission full of interplanetary spacebabes to explore.
Might have been trying to play dumb. Not bringing too much attention to themselves. One thing is for certain, they probably did their homework on cropdusters. They sure did it concerning jumbo jets.
The guy they had talked to at the cropduster service said that it sounded to him as if they were just looking at the planes as transportation of some sort (or maybe even suicide bomb flights), but didn't show any interest in the actual spraying abilities of the plane.
Why use a slow cropduster for that. They were sure bringing a lot of attention to themselves by asking questions and bugging the cropduster guys. Would have been much easier to just rent a regular plane. Which they did on a couple of occasions.
God bless you guys and gals! You're thinking and keeping this nation strong (when we got a bunch of idiotic socialist pinko's pleading for no war).
I went out and bought Earthquake supplies. The stuff you need isn't much different. If these goofballs have a low-yield tactical, they could take out major infrastructure. So, I'm stocked up on bottled water, soups, crackers, beef jerky, some bandages, gas, oil, flashlights, some first-aid stuff, batteries, maps, (Boy Scout 10 essentials...the old man would be proud!)
wish I had shotgun and cartridges and a gas generator
I'll bet some of you do.
If worse comes to worse, I'll trade you some antibiotics and rice for a good bite of deer/bird/spotted owl (bald eagle not for eating).
good night gracey.
Nope. Anthrax is not a communicable disease. Read up on it, there are tons of information on scads of medical sites.
No one caught it from that guy.
