Authorities told the newspaper there was no risk to the public, though the extent of the contamination remains unknown after the safety breach at the Tulane National Primate Research Center.

There is absolutely no risk to the public, and anyone who says otherwise is a racist.

“Deadly bacteria”, and “contamination remains unknown”. So naturally what follows is “no risk to the public”.

Because when you are dead, there is no risk.

The place is somewhat isolated but it’s surrounded by subdivisions, homes, and major retail areas all within a mile or so as the crow flies.
I live only about 6 miles away so this is troubling.

Is it just me but doesn’t it seem that ever since Present Obola took over the White Hut we have had diseases running rampant in our nation?
To: Bogey78O
Considering this bacterium contaminates soil and water in areas where it is found, I would be concerned as well.

I can assure you that was not my intent. As for diverting attention from Bibi, it has been in only one US source I know of, and not exactly top of the hour news.

Diseases, mostly viruses. The Nigerians I have met aren’t bad, it’s that d@mned Kenyan in DC that is the problem.
