Eric, I am working and living RIGHT in NYC. Just because people have
smallpox dosen't mean that antibotics won't work, but everybody will have to
stay in house for a while. I also want to point out that as far as I'm
concerned, the recent bioterror look a lot like a crime committed by a naive
"Me-too-er" who want to steal the thunder from the hijackers. But more to
point, this is one more reason why we need to fund space colonies and
research in biotech and nanotech. They all can play a big role in security
as well as wealth creation.
