"THE SKY IS FALLING! THE SKY IS FALLING!"

um.... yes 280 million people are recoiling in fear... well.. maybe about 8% anyways... which are mostly media and government people

[American Soldier]

Why was a press conference required for this? Seems extreme to me, especially at this time...

[Billy_bob_bob]

They are saying it is ONE case. I'm watching it as I type.

[GOPJ]

FOX, CNN, what?

[Scott from the Left Coast]

A little over the top on the headline (and three exclamation points too many).

[Dano]

You should not alarm people with headlines like that, there was already a thread on the news conference, and 1 more case does not mean an outbreak.Many people will run to this thread thinking its really something huge, and its not.

Ya screwed-the-pooch on the title.

[oldvike]

Calm down dude. It's one case. That hardly constitutes an outbreak. Now, if this were smallpox.........

The limp-wristed, panty-waist girly-men of the NY Times editorial board will be running for their Cipro and will call for George Bush to surrender unconditionally to the Taliban.

It's just this kind of hype that leads the press to say the "mood of the country is fear" and other such crap. I don't know about you, but my mood since 9/11 has been sadness and homicidal rage and although the sadness is getting better the rage has only intensified.

I'm beginning to think that at least some of the babies and old people who die from the "flu" every year have really been dying from naturally occurring anthrax that hasn't been diagnosed properly.

Now that there is heightened awareness, we are just now seeing them.

[Ordie 1]

Unsat!!! WTFO, Another lark??? Let me know when the numbers are up to about 10,000 then I'll fall for this again!!!

Maybe this is what Race's German army jacket wearing friend at the demonstration was talking about, news we didn't already know about and maybe it is MUCH worse than this even. I know that there was ONLY ONE CASE to begin with down in FL... And the first or second postal cases were not a worry. Now there is "only one case" outside of mailroom and postal workers. Why should we believe that??@!%? Why can't they figure this out?? I'm going back to being super duper careful opening my mail... I was getting a little lax there.
