Two postal workers have died at Trentwood, presumably from anthrax, and two more are now diagnosed with inhalational anthrax. The facility is finally closed. Workers had been told to wear gloves, not masks, in spite of the one case of inhalational anthrax, and apparently they were not provided with gloves (nor masks). The CDC told them it was not possible to get anthrax through a sealed envelope and they did not even think it necessary to test for anthrax. The post office ordered independent testing themselves. No wonder AOL and Microsoft have ordered their own testing. The government's attempt to falsely reassure the public is costing lives. Give the public the facts, not false reassurance.
