A friend of mine who works at the World Bank in Washington, D.C. just informed me that "Building J" was closed today and workers sent home after the loading dock tested positive for anthrax.
A second test was inconclusive, so workers were sent home and will not return to the building for at least a few days. The air conditioning in the building has been turned off to avoid spreading any possible anthrax spores.
It is not known when it will be determined whether or not anthrax is actually present at Building J. If I get any updates I'll post them here.
