1. Yes, and interestingly enough not in NJ papers until today

The first I heard of it was on CBS radio this morning. Their report was that the feds have been trying to keep a lid on the story.

3. Yes, but there's no reason to worry........

right? Didn't bush appoint Dr. Schoals as head of the CDC?
They say there's absolutely no reason to worry, it's probably just a clerical error. To me, that says, worry. Worry a lot. When they tell you not to worry, that everything is just fine, it's time to take to the mattresses.

5. Lots and lots of rodents carry the plague in the wild.

This is nothing.

6. yes, not a big danger to worry about at this point

waiting for new developments, though

[spacelady]

10. But could these strains be "tweaked" into something more dangerous?

[spacelady]

7. Yes, the article said the incident occurred over TWO weeks ago

and has been a hushed investigation only confirmed yesterday. Why does it seem that no one is overly concerned about this?

8. Mice

Well, speaking purely as a former New Jersey resident, these mice probably fell into one of the toxic waste dumps in the Meadowlands about an hour and half after they escaped and drowned.

Why does NJ have more toxic waste sites and California more lawyers? NJ got first pick.

9. Were they strapped to one of those missing balsa wood planes?

uh oh. Just kidding. Got Fear?
