Smallpox has been eradicated, so this must be something else. If it truly was smallpox, this would be front page headlines around the entire world.
Hmmmmm....

It's not smallpox. The last case was seen in 1980.
It's something similar. This would be huge news.

I'd expect CDC to know about this by now if it is real and to have their international cohorts to the scene shortly.
And if it is real, then there's some "splain'in to do, Lucy."
The upside would be, at least we'd have a clue as to the genetic disposition of the smallpox the enemy has.

I'm guessing that it's chicken pox. The story keeps referring to kids.

If it was smallpox it had to come from one of two sources: CDC (US) or Biopreparat (Russia on an island in the Aral Sea belonging to either Kazakhstan or Uzbekistan). Considering the standing or organized crime in Russia, I don't think this an unlikely development.

Is this a fake? I do not see the article on Dawn.com; do you have an accurate URL?

Smallpox has been eradicated... Except for cultures thought to be secured in Russia, North Korea, and places in the US where we keep other such things like Anthrax secured!

Maybe one reason for a smallpox outbreak is that there are several universities attracting foreign students in Swabi? Maybe the epidemic is really snallpox .... The Ghulam Ishaq Khan Institute of Engineering Sciences and Technology is said to be one of the best engineering schools in Pakistan.
Just my personal opinion.

Could be, but the article go on to describe the fatality rate of smallpox. It would be helpful to get an accurate report of clinical symptoms, number of deaths, etc.

The residents of Naro Banda, a rural area in the district, told this correspondent that a majority of the children in the village had suffered from smallpox a few years back.It HAS to be chickenpox, not smallpox.

where we keep other such things like Anthrax secured! Anthrax is neither secured nor securable. It is endemic in many rural areas. It occasionally kills livestock, and more rarely people.
