Meanwhile a caution that is probably nothing to worry about. Government biohazard monitors detected a tularemia bacteria during that anti-war march in concentrations that are normally not considered dangerous. However the symptoms (fever, chills, headache, muscle ache, joint pain, dry cough and conjunctivitis appear in about 1 week and can cause death if not treated by antibiotics. It is completely unknown where the bacteria came from. It may have been made airborne by so much pedestrian traffic on a very dry mall. But just in case, a medical alert was issued nation wide - only because so much traffic on that mall comes from across the country - is not local.

Again, the tularemia bacteria is not considered a problem but the warning was issued anyway for so many people during that anti-war march, a book convention, etc - all ongoing at the same time.
