Hi John, "one of five such facilities under construction from Texas to Massachusetts."

story.news.yahoo.com

Only Texas thru Massachusetts. Wonder why they don't have a research center on the West coast, where so many scientists are? Do you ever get the feeling Bush dislikes the liberal West coast?

Am really glad they are pumping money into research, just puzzled why the funds favor the East coast.

"The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (news - web sites) is spending $1.1 billion this year to upgrade state and local capability to detect and contain an attack. "

Hope the CDC finally gets the ability to ensure hospitals and ERs finally install epi software for epi detection purposes. That would be money well spent.

RE: "The Federal Emergency Management Agency (news - web sites) is spending $3.4 billion in 2004 and 2005 to stockpile vaccines around the country in case of a bioterrorism event."

They should stockpile flu vaccine and maintain several large, off limits chicken farms, because flu vaccine is made from chicken eggs. How do you make flu vaccine for humans if all the chickens die from Avian flu ? Apparently, vaccine can't be made without chickens. Maybe they can freeze chicken eggs like they can do for human eggs.

Regards,
Amy J
