Anthrax in CT.

Governor Roland announced tonight in a press conference that a 94-year-old Connecticut woman has contracted inhalation anthrax. She was first hospitalized on Friday with signs of pneumonia, but when she continued to worsen doctors decided to test for anthrax. The CDC has come to town to quarantine her house and to run conclusive tests for inhalation anthrax. Weird thing is, she is basically housebound, and they see no indication that she may have received something tainted in the mail. Not yet at least.

Scary thing is, the town she lives in, Oxford, is the next town over, about a mile away from me. It's going to be a nerve-wracking experience collecting the mail tomorrow. And my unemployment check is in there!
