More people will die today from slipping in their bathtub than will die of Anthrax.

More people will win the lotto today than will die from Anthrax.

Worrying about Anthrax is a waste of time.

Hillory will do, and has done more damage to this country than Anthrax.

If you must worry, then worry about Hillary.

But bathtubs just don't just out of anywhere. I go into the tub, I know what precautions to take, and I know the risks. This is a complete unknown.

I'm a little tired of the car accident comparison because its, well, silly. Unless someone is driving into someone else deliberately or trying to commit suicide with a car, there is little or no comparision.

This is a random act in that the victims were not chosen a head of time. But someone did put the bio agent in an envelope, and did purposefully mail it, expecting sickness and death to follow the package as it went its way. We are talking about murder here. That is not the same as most highway deaths caused without malice.

Panic no...and I am not seeing much panic at all, if you mean purposeless stampeding over a cliff. Prudent actions and caution based on the information available, yes.

Why are there those who don't want us to discuss the possibilities so that we can be prudent in a dangerous situation?

I am going to guess that the people on this forum who cite random statistics and say anthrax is not something to be afraid of do NOT live in the D.C. postal district and therefore DO have very little risk.

Some of us who are from D.C. have a very different perspective....

The people who died today slipping in their bathtubs were not murdered.
