<<Very worrisome to me that the powder tested negative but the person became infected in any case. Raises a question about testing procedure and/or the strain at work.>> Exactly. It's worth keeping in mind that we're dealing with a heretofore rare disease, at least in humans in the U.S., and most medical and criminal facilities remain ill-equipped to deal with it (and will remain so for some time to come). Rudy made another good point...if you get mailed an envelope with white powder, DO NOT MOVE IT (which might expose more people). Simply leave it alone and call 911 (and presumably wash hands if you handled it). Lots of hoaxes going around also with envelopes and white powders.
