[freeper12]

Just reported on foxnews tv..no link to my tv yet...

[blam]

Yup. Heard it too.

[skeeter]

Vast right wing conspiracy my ass.

NYT, bite me.

[areafiftyone]

This is really making me sick and nervous.

WAS ONE OF THE TERRORIST SICK WITH ANTHRAX?..CLICK

[tray-sea]

i just heard this too.. i am thinking this might be more widespread them we originally thought.. could you imagine how many could actually be affected from weeks ago? I really am not "scared' so much as I am concerned for our futures. I think we've underestimated the enemy .. and I am sure the experts think we're safe from bio-terrorism but i know we're not.. too many russian and iraqi facilities trying to come up with new methods ... god only knows, right? I think it's time for me to call my doctor and get some cipro and or doxycycline or tetracycline onhand for some future potential emergency...

[CELTICGAEL (Celt)]

Yes, spores found at Gov. Pataki's NY office. Pataki press conf. at 12:15 eastern. I heard both times.

IS IT S A F E!

[Octavius]

Where are our leaders?
WE are under non-conventional attack!
We must declare the right to respond non-conventionally.
Wake up Mr. President.

[Dirk McQuickly]

Watch for more military deployments in the coming days. Methinks Iraq has filthy hands. Methinks the House of Saud better change it's tune fast.

I want to get in on the IPO for U.S. Oil, Inc.

[spectre]

I agree. WE ALL should have access to the antibiotics, just in case..wink, wink.

What worries me, is that it is the start of the Flu season, and we might not know the difference. They don't give antibiotics for the flu...sigh.

Hillary is probably next...that is probably where she was speeding off to at the airport.

[dead]

Who do you want to nuke at this point? The Post Office?

[browardchad]

Fox reporting that anthrax strain at Capitol office building not as "pure" as reported -- no one was affected other than 20-odd Daschle staffers, and no anthrax in areas other than Daschle's office. Congress will not leave town; will not be "intimidated."

[newsperson999]

did hear on fox that the anthrax in the senate is not the "pro" version

[gridlock]

It's past time to call your doctor. But better late than too late...

[Reborn]

I'm not scared, I'm ANGRY!!!!! We WILL find out who (Saddam???) is REALLY doing this, and then I suggest we allow them to take a deep breath of their own labors.

Anthrax spores found in Pataki's office . . . FOX reporting right now . . .

"Weapons grade Anthrax" as now being described as the type used against the Senate (we do not know if the same grade was sent to Pataki's office) means with little doubt that some government was involved. Again, sources who are contending the following concerns as I am about to express need to get their ducks in order, but myself and others see a possible link between left-wing organizations in the USA who are fronts for Castro and support Iraq (e.g. "stop the sanctions" movement et all, actually are left wing groups who would support Iraq and the Iraqi government attacks upon the US) . . . routes of Anthrax from Iraq to Cuba to groups in Florida . . . this is the second act of War! It doesn't matter that we can provide effective remedial measures to victims of anthrax, and this isn't a really a matter of "over reacting" and with a climate of "fear" and thus giving the terrorists a "victory" unless we all act like business as usual and not say anything . . . I am not AFRAID, I am OUTRAGED - expressing this outrage isn't fear, and we should not be told by anyone, not even our own government, that we should just all be quite about this or else we are showing "fear" . . . again, I am not afraid, I am outraged and angry regarding this act of war, I want a declaration of war by Congress on any nation found who sourced this weapons grade anthrax . . .

You're proposing to self-treat yourself or your family if you think you might have anthrax? What you're suggesting is not only dangerous, it may be deadly--not only for you, but for others as well who might truly need it. If we all started stockpiling antibiotics, esp. the multi-spectrum, strong ones like Cipro, there would be none left for those who would really need them--like when flu season hits in a few weeks. And if you take an antibiotic like Cipro on a whim, then if you really got sick and needed it, it might be ineffective for you.

Think of the implications of what you're suggesting. It plays into the worst fears and selfishness of the citizenry.
