Thats not good news, I recently listened to Aurora Light`s radio show with an american special service whistle blower who by phone call warned that american millitary were having special training to breath, also mentioned was Anthrax. Does this mean things are coming to a sudden head??

I'm sorry but these diseases occur in their natural form within the Indian Sub-Continent and the Mid-East and have done so for aeons..which is why one is normally inoculated prior to travelling to Countries such as these. personally I'd have no qualms about visiting these places..In a land of billions...500 easily contained Anthrax cases are the norm per month..and nothing for you to worry about. Crumbs you lot..get a grip!..when I was a young kid moving between the tropics, Europe, Africa so on on so forth...I was pumped full of drugs in order to move within the Colonies...Bill must have been too..It was the downside of International travel in those days, just as it is today.

Listen..we don't need another "Swine Flue" panic this winter unless there is genuine reason to panic...Anthrax has become another expression for a terrorist attack..despite it being a natural phenomenon. Don't you think that we should worry about reality vs hysteria?...There will be enough for us to worry about in the future..especially our Economies..that will negate our worries about obscure diseases.
