If in fact the picture show the inside of a facility storing hazardous virus samples the lack of an appropriate mask shows exactly the kind of mistake that leads to infection of a lab worker and subsequent escape from containment for the virus.

“Not to nit-pick but, that is a freezer. Not a fridge.”

Yes and it’s not just a typical home freezer. It’s meant to keep samples at -80 C, not just -20F.

I want to see gates dance at the end of a rope for his funding of the chinese bioweapon that was loosed on the entire world by the stinking chinee.

Probably kept their bag lunch in the same fridge.

In school our science teacher told us to close the freezer door over a dollar bill and if you could pull it out with the door closed the seal is bad and is wasting energy.

I went to class the next day and told him our freezer was REALLY bad because I was able to pull out a twenty.

He was not amused.

Thanks, Matt. I’m putting that all over Twitter.

Shouldn’t be that much ice build up on a well sealed unit

Assuming these people are handling virus samples, is this the level of protection they should have? I had thought that you’d want to be in bunny suits.

Knowing what I do about China, if I had to create a scenario, it would be:

On one hand - Chinese lab scientist-cowboys, willing to play God, looking for a jump on research publication, make a name for themselves and get rich, have created quite a few little monsters in their labs. And then on the other hand - low-paid underlings selling lab equipment and even test-animals improperly to make some extra cash, let it out.

that is a good find.

so my question would be is all of that be appropriate for their lowest level of stuff. Level 1. We know for sure it wouldn’t be for Level 4.

I’m getting the feeling that this is Chernobyl redux, in the sense of a half-assed, half-funded, seat-of-the-pants work environment leading to disaster. The difference is that radioactive ash doesn’t travel much - viruses do, through their human hosts.

Amateur hour at Wuhan lab re protective gear?

http://english.whiov.cas.cn/ne/201806/t20180604_193863.html

It’s possible, of course, that virus samples are stored elsewhere. But the title of the page is “Take a look at the largest virus bank in Asia”.

“”Rockville, MD””

Is that anywhere near or where Fort Detrick is where all the research goes on? Including the ebola years ago and probably still!!!

I'm skeptical of the "accidental release" theory as it does not explain the odd behavior since which suggests a bio-weapon...

Fort Detrick Researchers Ominously Prescient in their Analysis of a New & Dangerous Coronavirus

New Coronaviruses Deadly

By 2018, Allison Totura and Sina Bavari, again researchers with Fort Detrick, discussed previous outbreaks involving SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV noting, “These coronaviruses may have the potential to cause devastating pandemics due to unique features in virus biology including rapid viral replication, broad host range, cross-species transmission, person-to-person transmission, person-to-person transmission, and lack of herd immunity in human populations.”

Although these first two outbreaks were contained by “diligent enforcement of public health measures” ominously they pointed to the threat of a “as-yet unknown BatCoV that causes severe disease in humans and makes antiviral therapeutics that broadly target coronaviruses a highly desirable commodity to ensure global public health.”

Instructing us back in 2018

Ms. Totura and Mr. Bavari essentially warned governments back in 2018 to start acting now when they noted that governments’ currently must “produce medical countermeasures that can protect vulnerable populations against known coronaviruses (SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV) but also could be effective against…novel highly pathogenic coronaviruses that may emerge from animal reservoir hosts.”

Why do you bio weapon guys think molecular virology is so advanced to make the features you believe have been engineered here are possible to create?
