I think the way these cases of monkey pox spread from just one pet store shows to several states, show easy it is to infect people in various geographical areas, if someone would have a motive to do so.

The reason that bioterror is a serious threat, because it can be done so clandestinly and by the time people start to realize what's happening, it's already all over the country.

Look at how the WNV spread from one point of origin in the US to the entire country.

For the record, I am not claiming that any of these are terror attacks, (but I don't rule them out either) but pointing out how easy diseases can spread, once they have been introduced in the US.

Just think if someone is really trying to infect a lot of people.

HOW much do you want to bet that it brought in by an infected, imported, wild bird bought by the Bronx Zoo?
