In a press conference today, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, with the Attorney General in tow, stated that an NBC employee who works on the 3rd floor at 30 Rockefeller Center (30 Rock) in NYC has tested positive for cutaneous (skin) form of anthrax. She is being treated, and is expected to recover. The suspicious envelope arrived 2 1/2 weeks ago (Sept. 25th).
The FBI is still treating this as a criminal investigation and is not linking these outbreaks to the terrorist attacks. So far, there is no evidence linking the Florida cases to the NY case.
We are told not to panic, but to remain cautious of unsolicited packages. Anthrax is not contagious from one person to another.
