I wouldn't worry about the Plague. I'd worry about bird flu.

It contains eight genes, and the fear is that it will reassemble, swapping one of its bird-infecting genes for a human-infecting gene....

Scientists predict that [avian flu] could be the beginning of a pandemic that could kill millions of people, rivaling the 1918 epidemic that killed 40 million people.

I'm going to more Weapons of Mass Destruction training in a couple of weeks. I'll let you know if there's anything new (or old) and icky to be worried about.

No, I don't actually sleep. Why were you thinking about asking?

That link contains a link to this scary story. :eek:

Before you have a heart attack, let me assure you that, two months later, it looks like the nightmare of weaponized super-flu did not happen this time. But the scenario that played out is probably pretty close to what might unfold in a genuine bioterrorism incident, and it reveals critical weaknesses in our global security system--or lack thereof.
