QWA #2: bioterrorism discussion edition

Sunday, 9 January 2005

bioterrorism discussion questions: Were you aware that the plain old 100% natural flu killed at least 20,000,000 (20 million) people less than 90 years ago?; Did you know that 2,000,000 (2 million) children will die this year from diarrhea caused by non-partisan bioweapons like cholera?; Were you aware that more Americans will die of pneumonia in the next month than were killed by terrorists on September 11th, 2001?; Can you think of a way that a can of gasoline can kill more people than a few envelopes full of anthrax? (hint: think Sadie Hawkins and the gym with only one working exit, now add a chain and padlock.); Did you notice that without any causal biological vectors at all we’ve become trembling sacks of cartilage?
