Uh, apes carry all sorts of diseases and parasites. It was prudent to sterilize the entire room after two monkeys were brought into a medical center.

Of course they do. You miss my point entirely. They could have simply said “In accordance with infection control guidelines, upon the patient’s departure, staff immediately performed a ‘terminal clean,’”

The person did not need to preface that sentence with the inane, government COVID pablum. It added no value or meaning.

My oldest daughter was born at Wilford Hall in 1991. Cruddy place with roaches. If the monkeys ate roaches, I would have welcomed them.

It was cruddy. I looked it up. It was built in 1957. However, it was torn down in 2017 and rebuilt into a nice modern facility.

Glad to hear that for the people who have to be in the hospital there. I had my other children in civilian facilities. Some were better than others - the hospital in Norman, OK, had a complete redo in the 17 months between my third child and my fourth one - but none of them had roaches.

My wife had scoliosis surgery at Wilford Hall in 1969. Her surgeon was a Dr. Harrington, who invented the Harrington rod. Here’s another fun fact for you and your daughter about Wilford Hall.

Wilford Hall opened in 1957 after the Korean War, as the Air Force expanded its footprint to counter the Soviet Union. It served as a hub for training, research and innovation, and was the birthplace of more than a hundred thousand babies.Oct 6, 2023

100,000. Not a surprise. My daughter was born at the end of the first Gulf War, when all the obstetrics staff came back from Europe, where they’d been stationed, along with any medical personal with pulses, in anticipation of huge casualties.

If Anoreth had been born a week earlier, she’d have been delivered by the oral surgeon.

Maybe the same reason males are always violent.

Good choices. There is a lot of emotional support to be had in a big caliber in concealed carry repose.
