County Health Officer Dr.William Remington Jr.said after the disease was eradicated, there remained only two stockpiles of the virus.One was at the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta, Ga., and the other was somewhere in Russia. "Those were the two known collections of the smallpox virus," he said.A date was set when those collections would be eliminated.
