The model, crafted by a trio of university researchers, uses medical details from the U.S. anthrax attacks in 2001, data from the former Soviet Union's anthrax program and the latest in "queue theory," which allows researchers to compare outcomes when products (such as pills) are distributed in various ways to people waiting in line.
Speed is crucial following an anthrax attack because, unlike smallpox, the disease progresses within just a few days to a stage that is nearly 100 percent fatal even with intensive care.
Thomas Inglesby, deputy director of Johns Hopkins University's Center for Civilian Biodefense Studies, echoed that concern and noted that the study scenario, though not entirely unlikely, is extreme.

It could jeopardize the anthrax case by turning the real anthrax mailer into the subject of a new media frenzy before the anthrax case is ready for court.
Anthrax is perhaps the most interesting case to date, partly because there was a real episode and because scientists have now developed a genomic model for investigating the pathogen that can be applied to other agents of biological war—and possibly help in the unsolved letters case.

 CIDRAP >> Causes of anthrax scare still unclear as complaints fly
It was still unclear why a military contractor laboratory detected anthrax on a sample from a mail facility next to the Pentagon in Arlington, Va., last week and why a sensor at a DoD office complex in Falls Church, Va., a few miles away, signaled a possible biological hazard on Mar 14.
The CDC statement said the alarm "proved to be from a particle counter rather than from a biological sensor." The statement didn't explain the difference between the two devices, and further information was not immediately available.
The anthrax scare triggered an outcry from state and local officials that DoD failed to adequately warn them about the situation.
