I'll admit that I'm a bit concerned, given that I only live 20 minutes from Trenton. And I do take a bit more precaution when handling mail. I also noticed that I'm not getting as much mail these days (be it regular or junk mail). I'm not sure if the USPS is delivering less b/c it's taking them more time to go through the mail, or if people just aren't sending as much b/c of what has happened. Perhaps a bit of both?

How many people have been confirmed as having anthrax now? What, 7 confirmed (according to the BBC)? And there have been 31 people exposed to it? Out of 280 million people. While I'm sure there will be more, I'd say our chances of being infected are rather unlikely.

Now smallpox...THAT is scary.
