Not really.
The incidence of anthrax in Australia is low, and cases of human infection are few and far between. Anthrax bacteria can remain in the soil for a long time, and there is risk to humans when they cut into the carcass of an infected animal. The average citizen, however, is not at risk.
The villain poses a threat to people :) :p
Yes, anthrax poses a significant threat of bioterrorism due to its potential for use as a biological weapon. It can be easily dispersed in aerosol form, leading to widespread infection and panic. The spores are resilient and can survive in the environment for long periods, making detection and response challenging. Furthermore, the lethality of inhalational anthrax, if not treated promptly, adds to its appeal for malicious use.
Anthrax spores can survive in the environment for long periods, often years or even decades, depending on conditions such as temperature and moisture. In soil, spores can remain viable for decades, making them a persistent threat in areas where anthrax is endemic. In contrast, the vegetative form of the bacteria, which is responsible for infection, does not survive long outside a host.

the government helps citizens by creating laws to help protect them from ANY threat including themselves
China's government sees the internet as a threat - because it suppresses its citizens by censorship. Certain websites are blocked by China - so their citizens cannot access them from within their country.

Bacillus anthracis causes the disease anthrax. Anthrax is a life-threatening infectious disease that normally affects animals (such as goats, cattle, sheep, and horses). Anthrax can be transmitted to humans by contact with infected animals or their products. Anthrax does not spread from person to person. In the soil, where they live, anthrax organisms exist in a dormant form called spores. These spores are difficult to destroy. The spores have been known to survive for as long as 48 years. Ingestion of anthrax can cause serious, sometimes fatal disease.The most deadly form is inhalation anthrax. If the spores of anthrax are inhaled, they spread, and produce toxins that often cause death.The greatest threat of anthrax today is through a bio-terrorist attack which would be delivered as an aerosol.It is considered "bad".
Demosthenes warned his fellow citizens of the looming threat from Philip II of Macedon because he believed that Philip's ambitions posed a serious danger to Athenian freedom and democracy. He urged his fellow citizens to unite and stand against this threat to protect their city-state's independence.

Is Anthrax contagious? I guess it depends on how you interpret the information.Anthrax is not contagious; it cannot be transmitted from person to person.Anthrax transmission occurs in one of two ways:1. Contact with infected animals or animal products2. As a result of bio-terrorism - Example: in 2001 Anthrax was deliberately spread through the postal system by sending letters containing anthrax powder. This caused 22 cases of Anthrax infections.The CDC classifies agents into 3 priority areas. Anthrax is classified as a Category A agent. This means:1. May spread across a large area, or require public awareness.2. Pose the greatest possible threat for a bad effect on public health.3. Require a great deal of planning to protect the public's health.
In the 1970's it was the threat from Cambodia, scaring many citizens to flee.
