If it's good enough for Liberman it's good enough for me.

"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."

1. the flu is a virus. The standard advice has been to NOT take antibiotics for a virus, because it will do nothing.

2. are you a doctor? At a press conference yesterday it came out that doctors are cleaning out cipro from pharmacies -- for themselves and their families. Your advice would seem to counter the advice doctors are giving themselves, and their families. What are your medical qualifications to give out this type of advice?

If you are upset with this, it is exactly what they want you to be. Once we get a handle on it, we will all be OK

Heard Pataki is going to give a press conference soon and at 12:45 Daschle will be giving one.

In Daschle's office, the woman spotted the brown powder as soon as she opened the envelope that it occurred. She did not remove the letter, she placed it down, called security right away. 29 people were exposed. Notice the difference? Those were busy offices too. The stuff Daschle got was ground extremely fine professionally no matter what the spin masters are trying to tell us

We dont know if all those 29 people got the exposure from that one envelope, I suspect there may be more going on here.

Correctly analyzing something like this takes a long time and I'd consider anything other than a CDC press conference pretty suspect.

After hearing their prior press conferences, I consider the CDC very suspect. There's something scary about those people. Maybe they just need better spokesmen, but the impression I get is that they're hiding info not to protect us but because they think we're stupid. JMO.

...Am I the only one a little uncomfortable by the coincidence that the president is on a plane leaving the country right now?

What states have the highest Jewish populations in the US? Would they be Florida and New York?

Have any other states been "hit" by anthrax?

DC doesn't count, of course, because it is just the machine of what the terrorists say is Israeli/Jewish control of the US.

Is this what is going on?

"Selfishness" of the citizens?

I don't think so. NO one is suggesting we go off the deep end and start taking antibiotics. We would simply like to know that if we contract the Anthrax or are EXPOSED to it, we have the drugs available...if needed.

No positive indication in any of the people in Pataki's office, BUT THEY ARE TAKING ANTIBIOTICS.....duhhhh, "just as a precaution, and the intelligent thing to do"...a quote from Gov. Pataki himself...just now.

Pataki on now; only one test came back positive, in an area where niot many people are. But the whole office will be taking antibiotics as a precaution.

His NYC office has moved to a new location already. Talking about getting playoff tickets and going on about his business. "We can't let them win, we'll drive them back to their caves where they belong."

Octavius - May be a disruptor working in some pathic fashion to cause alarm here. In another thread he was screaming that Bush was MIA on the spores in the senate issue 1/2 hour after it became known. I my mind he's either a disruptor or chicken little.

Will you PLEASE stuff a sock in it. You are such a sheeple. Why do you feel it is necessary to have some government pundit tell you what to think?? Damn, you make me ill.

Listen bunkie... we are in a situation that we have NEVER been in before. It is my considered opinion that the leadership is doing the correct things. Do you think that they have some master playbook that they pull out, flip to the bioterrorism chapter and execute??? Why do you feel that it is necessary to have the Government tell the masses everything that is happening and what they are doing. There is something called OpSec (Operational Security). you jnust don't tell your opposition what you are doing.. If you want to get all this info, I highly recommend that you go and enlist. Then maybe, just maybe your insatiable curiosity will be fed. But, things will NEVER be the way they were prior to 911. Get used to it. Damn man, this is WAR.

Semper FI!

Anthrax was found in the room where the NY State police work; one letter, which may or may not be the source; policeman's area was not open to visitors and anthrax hasn't turned up anywhere else yet.

Anthrax will be cultured now and it will be 2 days before positive confirmation.

Why is the FBI suddenly flooding the media with info that false positive tests are possible? They didn't say this earlier. Why now?

Wasn't their main focus in life supposed to be protecting the citizens of this country? We are not a country if we can't protect our own borders. But they've been much too concerned about hate crimes and racial profiling, we're still running around the world trying not to offend anyone. Anthrax has been a credible threat for some time. With all the tax money they've taken in, we now find out we are only prepared for 2 million cases in a country of 280 million? And they can't seem to figure out if it is anthrax, not anthrax, regular or premium. It seems to me they are learning "on the job". It also appears to me that they did not expect to be the first targets.
