Meanwhile, the Sunday Telegraph reported that the government was buying more than 120,000 decontamination suits to protect people from a chemical or biological attacks, as well as thousands of decontamination showers, shelters, stretchers, and 5,000 body bags.

I wonder how long ago they ordered all that and when they expect to have it. I imagine they want to have it on hand before we attack Iraq.

BTW, I'd advise people to keep extra chlorine bleach on hand for disinfection. Make sure you get a brand with sodium hypochlorite that mentions it can be used for disinfection.

I've also been keeping an eye out for white cotton garments that can be bleached when washed (and there aren't very many out there). If we start seeing epidemics, I want clothes I can disinfect in the washer after I've been out in public.
