    Masks would also offer some protection in an aerosolized BW #smallpox attack.

    Given the funding disruptions to #biowatch, the dismantling of the CDC's event response, the CDC's suspension of testing for #orthopoxvirus, the decapitation of our homeland security apparatus, the anti-vaxxer controlling the SNS and the Manchurian executive, it's a great idea to #maskup, especially at night games.

    It's never too late to get vaccinated either, unless #RFKJr hesitates for four days.

    The #BioWatch program was partially mothballed with the remnants moving under cybersecurity.

    #CISA has an Acting Director.

    There has been a program to actively monitor for bioterror events in the US since 2003 called #BioWatch. Parts of the program have been unfunded or quietly suspended and it's been moved to cybersecurity (CISA).

    With the program functioning, we'd know if a major terrorist attack happened in a matter of hours, without it, we'd find out a few weeks later when thousands (or millions) of people show up in the ER.
