I wouldn't wish this on anyone. I feel bad for these people.
To: hole_n_one
They don't know what it is. They really don't know.
Usually when one turns green and is foaming at the mouth they are either
a)poisoned
b)possessed by Satan and in need of exorcism ie., Linda Blair etc.

No kidding. I was hopeful it might have been hysteria but that doesn't seem the case ...

I am watching it right now on News 12 and they are still quarantined and are not allowed in their apartments or out. The Red Cross is setting up a shelter and cots. Some of the News 12 crew is quarantined. They are reporting by phone. How come they are still quarantined if it is not contagious. I live on the Tuckahoe/Yonkers border and I don't like this.

Cyanide "...Symptoms of cyanide poisoning include an odor of bitter almond on the breath, dizziness, convulsions, collapse, and, often, froth on the mouth. In case of cyanide poisoning a doctor should be summoned immediately. If the poison was swallowed, vomiting should be induced. Artificial respiration should be used if needed.

Just unbelievable. Somehow when the hijacked cyanide truck vanished you knew they were going to downplay the situation. Possible second wave of terrorism.
To: Shermy
Sounds like a match there. Am concerned about the water supply. Always keep some water on hand and a water purifier but this is scary.
To: areafiftyone
I agree with you that it makes absolutely no sense to quarantine victims of chemical poisoining. What is really going on?
Please keep us updated. It is not on the news out here in California. Thanks.
To: VeganFreeper
Perhaps they kept them separate b/c they've got some procedures in place whenever they think a bio/chem attack has occurred.
To: VeganFreeper
I will. Its just the local Westchester station on cable. It just covers Westchester. Its very scary. I JUST HEARD ONE OF THE WOMAN IS BRAINDEAD. They have the doctor on now who treated them. He can't tell if it was poison. They still have no idea what happened.

You are so welcome. I was out all night shopping and never knew what was going on till I put local news on. Scary.

News of this incident still hasn't shown up on the cable news channels.
To: grimalkin
Well they are treating this as a crime scene so I don't know what to think. What a panic!
To: let freedom sing
I will always remember were I was on 5/15. Beware of the ides of May.

News crew from Westchester is quarantined in the school where the Red Cross is setting up cots. Noone can go in or go out of the school.
