Fron CNN:
"The unidentified 35-year-old woman is being treated and is not expected to develop the potentially deadly disease, Florida Health Secretary John Agwunobi said. One man has died of the disease, and a second tested positive for exposure to it."
She was one of the 700+ persons tested over the past two days. The joint FBI/Palm Beach County news conference promised more specific details later tonight.

The CEO of American Media, Inc. (the tenants of the building) was on Larry King last night. According to him, many of his wholesalers/retailers are voicing their concerns that customers are very nervous about handling the papers for fear that the paper has been contaminated with Anthrax. He explained that the paper is NOT (and repeated that fact about 20 times throughout the interview) stored or printed at that location. The stories are written there, but electronically sent to a number of printing sites throughout the country.
