Anthrax Scenarios – New York, Minneapolis, Las Vegas, California

The assessment describes three anthrax attack scenarios. The first is a strike on New York’s subway system, a “worst case scenario.” After the announcement of the attack, people try to evacuate the city while others seek antibiotics from distribution centers. The government is unable to rapidly distribute antibiotics to everyone, leading to a breakdown in law and order. Thousands of people die, the subway system is closed, and the city stops functioning, causing catastrophic economic consequences.

In the second scenario, a terrorist disperses a small amount of anthrax in a Minneapolis cinema, at a Las Vegas casino, and then a California theme park. After each attack, the facilities are shut down and fear builds in the public. Hundreds of FBI agents work to discover the perpetrator without success, not unlike the 2001 attacks in the U.S. There is no end in sight from the attacks.

The third scenario is an attack with antibiotic resistant anthrax at the Academy Awards ceremony in which many Hollywood stars are killed.

I haven’t seen the report but from the press release itself don’t see the value in therapeutics (as distinguished from the already-existing antibiotics). I hope they don’t imagine Dr. Ken’s pills. :0) I haven’t read the product description FAQ from the company’s website.

I like my friend Richard’s suggestion of dispensing antibiotics on evacuation routes leading from city.

I sincerely question how many postal workers would stay home and/or evacuate with their families.
