Is anyone concerned about this anthrax stuff

I don't know about you, but this is starting to get on my nerves. Even though we have the A team in the White House, it appears as though even they are having trouble staying ahead of this. Can you imagine if another germ or two were introduced. We keep hearing something new each day, and usually it is not good news. I know this is still small scale stuff (just in an isolated area) and I am not losing faith, but....are we winning this war? It is obvious they are getting what they wanted....paranoia...(maybe like this post). I guess you have to still look at these incidents as isolated incidents. Nothing to panic about, but they are keeping us (whomever they are) busy with this and it sounds like we don't have a clue as to who is doing this. A penny for your thoughts.

What do we need to do....

25 people each day die from the Flu and 150 die each day from car accidents. Only 3 people have died from anthrax so far so I wouldn't worry too much and stay healthy, get your flu shoot and go to the doctor as soon as you feel sick. This is about all you can do in addition to staying alert to strange happenings around you?

It's getting pretty close to home for me, but I'm still not all that worried. I can get concerned about Smallpox or Marburg U (and others), but if penicillin kills it, it doesn't scare me.

I wonder how much white powder was floating around before the scare? Every time something is found, it makes all the major networks, "White powder here", "White Powder there". How many times do they break in with, "It's a Hoax", or "It was just cement powder" to ease everyone's minds? Frankly, the media is at fault for reporting every possible occurance of something that isn't there.

FAIR ENOUGH...BUT THE FLU IS SOMETHING NATURAL. THIS ANTHRAX IS LIKE HAVING a serial killer visiting our Post Offices. I am not worried....yet....

[WIMom]

Read this and this and ask yourself, Have I seen this played on the major networks or radio? Then ask why?

[Lovergirl]

I sure am scared.

Since 9.11 I have started to become a crisis junkie and I am actually starting to get tired of hearing about anthrax. That is not in deregard or disrespect for those suffering. I have made anthrax a part of life and just one more thing to have to deal with. I have excepted things in the last 6 weeks I never dreamed I could.

Did any of us think we'd live to see the day when hoaxes and false alarms would be considered the good news?

It's not the white powder that scares me although I bet the 2 thousand workers in the Brentwood branch post office are justifyably jittery. Not to mention all the other postal workers in the country.

What scares the livin $hit outa me is that the boobs in control won't deport all ME visitors NOW and STOP the river of terrs now coming in at all borders and ports. THAT'S scary. Real scary.

Hillary Rodham Clinton, the shameless, grasping, clutching shrew was booed off the stage at Madison Square Garden this past weekend. Booed right off the stage by her own constituents! What a great day for America.

Turn of the TV, and stop listening to people like you.

RightO. Now if those guys would just march en masse on DC and demand deportation and an immigration HALT.

When this comes up in conversation, I point out most types of VD are harder to deal with in a medical setting.

I mean the stuff we have seen to date is so lame most any antibiotic will work. Got other things to worry about - like staying warm & shoveling snow ; )

Hoo-ah

Oh no! We just did this earlier today and ran out of ointment for the flame wounds.
