We have plans in place. There are entire departments devoted to bioterrorism surveillance.\n\nThere are protocols that have been standardized for dealing with major biological disasters. I work for a major metropolitan health department, so we train extensively for these things. Fortunately, we have not yet needed to use the training. \n\nWe use the the Incident Command System to organize ourselves to deal with disasters. That's a hierarchy to delegate tasks across groups of workers. Pick a person to be in charge of a small group. Let that person make orders, you report back with your info and duties.\n\nIn the event of any biological incident, my specific role as an epidemiologist would be to find the incident, identify it and control it. Of course, if there's a real disaster at hand, I think I'll have to do the same heavy lifting as everyone else. Gotta prioritize.

Its a killer disease. \nIt depends on it's mercy when it guns down it's unfortunate victims. Stage of the disease rarely matters.\nWe can just pray, not predict.

I am very scared!!! We had an article in our local paper a few weeks back about all the what ifs. I was very shaken by it. All the talks of millions dying and mass graves. Who wouldn't be scared. I have a son with asthma and they said the ones to die would be the elderly and ones with weakened lungs. I hope it never makes it here. It it does I already said I will shut up my house and my family will not leave. I will wear a mask to get fodd or thingsthat need to get done but my kids will not be casually infected.

Nope. We're still here, giving dumb answers on Yahoo.\n\nActually, we almost certainly exterminated them. It may have been violence, disease, or merely eating all their food, or a combination. They clearly just died and did not interbreed.

Could you be thinking of "pox" rather than "poke"?  The KhoiKhoi people of southern Africa were devastated by a smallpox epidemic.  You can find a lot of information via google.

Anthrax is a serious disease caused by the bacterium Bacillus anthracis, which affects cattle, sheep, goats usually causing death. People working with sick animals or their products can suffer sores, swelling, fever, pneumonia, blood poisoning and death.\n\nSo I doubt human can be immune from bacteria, and thus never immuned from Anthrax

Legionella Pneumophila & Legionellosis\n       \n \n \n  \nLegionella Pneumophila & Legionellosis - Legionella is the genus of bacteria, which gives rise to the risk of infection from diseases, collectively known as legionellosis. These consist of both pneumonias and non-pneumonic varieties. The species Legionella pneumophila presents the most serious hazard, which is mainly, but not solely, responsible for causing legionnaires' disease. This is a pneumonia which has serious effects and is fatal in 10-12% of cases.\n\nLegionella is widespread in both natural water sources and artificial water systems. It proliferates where temperatures are favourable (20-45 Degrees C), nutrients available and water is stagnant or recirculates. Infection can then occur by the inhalation of aerosols or particles generated from the source.\n\nParts of this document © Crown Copyright - originally produced and published by the UK's Health & Safety Executive.\n\nAdditional Information\n\nFor further information and expert assistance please call us on +44 (0) 161 240 2245 or email info@legionellacontrol.com.

Maybe there's a grain of truth in it. I could make the statement, "the world is coming to and end on July1, 2006". Who knows, there might be a grain of truth in that too. But are we going to overreact and go nuts over it? No. The bad part is that jihadwatch.org is making things worse by fanning the flames of hatred and bigotry. So, they may help fulfill a self-fulfilling prophecy. We should remain alert and vigilant, while at the same time not become obsessed with fear and devote all of our energy and resources to allaying our fears.
