no attack, I am not even certain who did the anthrax last year, as your inventive mind will easily envision. personally as a biologist I think it is a perfect weapon: highly contagious, does not kill the host, very incapacitating, easily cleaned up, and can be stopped with hand washing. I have NO idea if it can even can be grown in culture or how hard it would be. it just comes at a time which synchronized itself with iraq. maybe its a little like the subway releases in the 1950's ..............., and i accept the paranoid of the year award for the post. a lot of people all over get the stomach virus and the runs, its just the cluster on diverse ships which got to me as a chart divergence. Has this kind of thing ever occurred in the cruise industry before?
