Doctors may be key to bioterrorism ARLINGTON, Va. (AP)-It will fall to doctors-not the military or police-to recognize when bioterrorists have struck and to react in time to stop thousands of Americans from getting sick or dying, experts told the first medical conference on the danger Tuesday. Imagine a truck driving by a football stadium during a fall game. It sprays a mist that drifts over the stadium. Nobody notices. Two days later, hundreds show up with sniffles and fevers that doctors believe is the flu. But five days later 300 people are dead before a local scientist solves the mystery: It’s not flu, it’s anthrax. Johns Hopkins University used that fictional scenario to tell doctors the danger is real-and the nation isn’t yet ready to handle it.
