LONDON
- "Britain's Health Protection Agency said Thursday that seven workers at the Millennium Hotel, where former KGB agent Alexander Litvinenko met a contact on the day he fell ill, have tested positive for "low levels" of polonium.

The public health agency said that the staff worked in the hotel's Pine Bar. They said it had been judged that there was no risk to the staff's health in the short-term."

2. Somebody on here thought it was in his cigarettes and the
more I hear the more I agree.

4. "Funnily enough" there are trace amounts of polonium in regular cigarettes.

5. I was going to say... what if most humans are actually already contaminated with Polonium anyway?
Imagine if after all this, we find out that something like one in ten (or more!) people are walking around with this stuff inside them?

6. Obviously this is a rarity. Two people so far dead is it? And many more
with the label - there is no danger to them in the short term. Which translates..in the long term?....not so much with the "no danger". Double negative I know.
