But doesn´t this give the drug companies time to produce more medication? I read a thread today that Cipro makers are amping up production? We are hugely under prepared as it is..Fox news said they have enough antibiotics to treat 10 million people.

Once the system is in place to "do something about it", the attackers will just move on to something else. Airplanes were used, then airline security was tightened...but too late. Anthrax is being used, now drug companies are distributing medication...but too late. Once the anti-Antrhax system is in place, the terrorists will be attacking one of a host of other under-protected fear-generating spots.

The other day I heard Tommy Thomson(sp?)of HHS on FOXNEWS state that the gov't had enough Cipro for 200,000.

With the way the meds are being grabbed up, I wonder how true any number they give will be.
