"Some scientists outside China worry about pathogens escaping"

I sure hope this is a coincidence.

The article is from 2017.

Nuke them from space. It’s the only way to be sure.

Isn’t there a horror/apocalypse story that starts out with a cold type virus escaping a secret Govt lab and killing off millions? You always knew when the virus had infected someone cause they developed a slight cough.

This article is based on the same information, but is clearer to understand.

Coincidence?

This explains the aggressive government response!

They know there is a designer killer loose.

And they know it’s going to very very hard to stop it.

Holy sh!t.

From the Wutan Institute of Virology research overview:

1.Etiology and Epidemiology of Emerging Infectious Diseases

(1) Background

Emerging Infectious Diseases (EID) are among the major threats to public health around the world. One of the major challenges for prevention and control of EIDs is the unpredictable of EID outbreak. We are always not ready for EID outbreak, especially lack of the essential diagnostic techniques and methods, and even the basic knowledge of the pathogens. Among the EID pathogens, more than 70% origin from or transmit by wildlife (e.g. bat and bird) or insect vectors (e.g. tick and mosquito) and cause high mortality. Through systemic study of wildlife viruses we could not only uncover the animal origin and transmission of the known human viruses, but also build-up knowledge on animal viruses, especially uncharacterized viruses and be prepared in advance for outbreak of new EID. This field is under fast development, which has been further enhanced with the usage of advanced technology such as high-throughput sequencing in recent years, but still far more behind for EID control requirements.

This research area was built up during the outbreak of the SARS in 2002-2003 in China. Since then, a number of research groups were recruited or updated their interests to study on diverse pathogens of infectious diseases including SARS-CoV, influenza viruses, hemorrhagic fever viruses and antibiotic resistant-tuberculosis. With the construction of the national high level biosafety laboratory platforms it is also the bounden duty for the institute to study highly pathogenic agents, which currently occur in China and potentially imported aboard. This team now has full capability for the quickly response to EID outbreak regarding the pathogen detection, identification and pathogenesis studies.
