The tragic event of September

The tragic event of September 11, 2001 made the terrorism in the United States real. On that day when the twin towers was seen on television crumbling down with so many lives taken and with many people overwhelming loss of life that taken place on that day. Biological weapons are intended to deliberately disseminate disease producing organisms or killing toxins in food, water by aerosol. Bacillus anthracis, the organism that causes anthrax, has been bandied about the media and the American public has been intrigued by stories and cases and fatalities and the next story. One agent not often discussed but every bit as horrifying as anthrax is smallpox. Smallpox is an acute, highly contagious virus disease characterized by prolonged fever, vomiting, and pustule eruptions that often leave pitted scars, or pockmarks, when healed as defined by Webster’s New World College Dictionary. Smallpox, commands respect and the concern of the American public along with that terrorism, of the biological variety, however improbable, is very possible.

A release of smallpox in aerosol form would scatter readily, and because of its stability in aerosol form would prove very formidable even in a small dose. Even mention of a group of smallpox cases can cause national panic and a possible public outcry for national emergency control measures to be taken. Smallpox, anthrax and plague head the list of agents that can be used for bio-warfare. None of these agents has so far effectively been deployed as a biological weapon, and thus no real world events exist to provide likely scenarios.
What can the U.S. do to prepare? While there is no simple answer to that question, America can try to seek a logical response to that question. A national awareness and education program can help quell some hysteria. Professionals that deal with infectious diseases can receive enhanced information and training in
