Nebraska
CNN's front page reports that an envelope in Nebraska sent to Microsoft has tested positive.
I don't know who's doing this, but I hope they find them, and soon. My next concern is that we're so caught up in looking for Anthrax, that there's probably 10 people someplace else that has some other weird disease, but because this is our focus, they'll be easily swept under the rug.
It's all very disturbing. It's as if all of the prank emails that we used to read are coming true, in a sense. After the initial diagnosis of the Florida man, I kept thinking that it wasn't an isolated case, however our leaders just can't jump up on television and tell us that 1 case is definately a terrorist attack (due to widespread panic) anymore than they can jump up on national television and tell us to stock up on certain items.
In one newscast, they were suggesting that if you get a letter with powder or an oily substance on it, do not smell or taste it. I'm thinking, "we actually have to tell people not to taste it"?
It's definately a wake up call that we need to be more aware as citizens.
