I did not find an official source on the CDC or Washington DC Department of Health web sites. The Washington Post has a story today which includes Internet companies in a list of high-risk professions. I do not know if there is any specific information for including Internet companies in the list.

"Anyone with flu-like symptoms -- an elevated white blood count, coughs, body aches, respiratory problems -- would be given antibiotics if they work in a high-risk profession or had "credible" exposure to anthrax bacteria. That includes people who work at postal facilities, general mailrooms, media organizations, government offices or Internet companies."
Somebody should notify the Post that one cannot contract this particular type of virus from an email. :) (Not with current MIME technology anyway ...) -- Scott Francis darkuncle@ [home:] d a r k u n c l e . n e t Systems/Network Manager sfrancis@ [work:] t o n o s . c o m UNIX | IP networks | security | sysadmin | caffeine | BOFH | general geekery GPG public key 0xCB33CCA7 illum oportet crescere me autem minui
