Reporter, biggest city near here...another anthrax scare...brown powder in a package...delivered to "this hospital" ... in background we're looking at OUR hospital, where we were supposed to be this week or next, only I forgot to make the appointment.

Helen, our "brown powder" in Columbus turned out not to be Anthrax, but as of 8:25 pm edt, the Ohio Health Department still hasn't announced what it is.

No word yet. BTW, the actual hospital they filmed live WAS our hospital, but it wasn't "this hospital" with the scare. The reporters weren't allowed near the real site, so they subbed. While I understand the necessity of getting the story out, they need to rethink the policy of pretending the pics are real.

I'm afraid there will be so many of these prank things--I wish there were a stronger word. Cruel hoax? I hope that "they" catch those who do this and punish them as if the substance were truly dangerous. We've got more than enough to consider without adding this crap.
