Apparently the US military has unknowingly shipped live anthrax from Dugway, the new "Area 51," to somewhere overseas via FedEx's germ express delivery service. Now 26 people have been put in post-exposure treatment quarantine. Why are we even shipping anthrax? That stuff should remain with PIADCNY on Plum Island. Anthrax spreads slowly enough to infect huge numbers of people before anyone falls visibly ill. The mortality rate varies on the delivery method. Airborne infection via inhalation is worst with at least 80% mortality rate.
