FOrt Detrick got shut down indefinitely by the CDC because of biosafety issues in August. (dont know if they are reopened)
You think safety is better and more controlled in Commie China???
In general, no, but I'm just comparing one very modern very new lab with a lot of international inspection and collaboration to, in the immediate region, hundreds of thousands of juicy incubators with virtually non-existent oversight or even rules, much less regulators.
Not that we necessarily handle dangerous stuff better here. I suspect even Chinese engineers would blanch at the stuff that went on at the Paducah, KY, Gaseous Diffusion (nuclear materials) Plant. (Do a web search, if curious.)
