Biological Weapons Response Training Command

Excuse the interruption, but this is a Headline News special report. The Center for Disease Control has just declared that an epidemic has become widespread in San Francisco, California. Ambulances and paramedics are frantically rushing in and out of hospitals due to the overwhelming number of complaints and calls concerning illnesses resembling a chest cold that progresses into pneumonia-like symptoms. The progressions turn into a state of high fever and shortness of breath. All the patients who have been brought into numerous hospitals coincidentally have attended this afternoon's 49ers football game. Authorities have asked that anyone who attended the football game seek medical help if such cold-like symptoms occur. Stay tuned for further information...

This scenario is one you might very well have to deal with.  This is what the first signs of a biological warfare attack might sound like.  Your job would be to respond to this emergency and save as many lives as possible.  Welcome to BWRTC (Biological Weapons Response Training Command.)  You are here to learn about Biological Weapons and the defense against them.  Pass the course and you will become a full member of the BWRSF (Biological Weapons Response Special Forces); fail and you will be denied admission.  In order to become a member, you will have to undergo rigorous testing and study.   You will study each of the major agents, the defenses against them, and sources of possible biological weapons threats.     You must study each section and then take the final test.  If you pass by getting a 73% or higher, you will be given the option of becoming a member of the BWRSF.  Good Luck.

John Sanders,
Director, BWRSF
