New story about Tularemia being released in DC during peace march...
Charles Jaco will be talking to this Wash U prof who's a nationally respected expert on bioterrorism. The prof insisted several weeks ago that the government was wrong, that the sensors had'nt picked up naturally occurring Tularemia. Two people are now being tested for Tularemia.:scared:

3. given that we don't have drove of sick DUers
they did a piss-poor job of disseminating the tularemia if they did do it. I'm guessing the sensors just aren't that good, and I'm wondering if the squirrel population on the Mall is larger than usual this year. Those buggers used to be everywhere.

4. I read an interesting theory:
it was a test. Only a small amount was released. To see what would happen. :tinfoilhat:

5. I'm fine too.....
As is my travelling buddy who stalked authors at the Book Festival in lieu of the protest a block away ! We did take in all the memorials and museums later, of course the ones mentioned in the original MSM newsies, and nothing, nada here, not even a sneeze and it's fall allergy weather in SE VA.

Thank goodness we had a veterinarian (Kestrel) assisting on the earlier DU threads of concern !
