“A biological weapon did not just go off here, but it sure as hell look a lot like it did.”

That was what I though when I returned to camp this morning. All guard duty personnel were wearing protective face masks, and two tents had been set up outside the guard house to screen incoming people. It reminded me a lot of the scene from a reason episode of 24, after a biological agent was released and respond teams from the CDC arrived to cordon off the area.

In the evening as I was leaving the premises, I noticed that no longer was anyone donning protective face masks. Someone up there must have awoken their senses and realized that it was a measure too extreme. If their intention was to show the population that they have matters under control, all they’re doing is to create more of a panic by making matters seem more serve than they actually are.
