If a state of emergency were to be declared, could the guvmint take control of the Rx manufacturing facilities? In any case, I assume the companies would voluntarily switch to making antibiotics.

Anyone else notice how hard it is to determine whether or not someone has anthrax? Heard Brokaw talking about his assistant; apparently it took three tries with two different labs to get the "positive" response. If that is the case, why wouldn't it stand to reason that anthrax has been in the population for years undetected? Only 20% of those left completely untreated for cutaneous exposure die from it. Seems to me this is terrorism by hysteria, nothing more.
