It looks like China isn't only country having problems securing their germ labs. We have had our problems as well. Better make sure that what happened there doesn't happen here.

Didn’t they transfer the goodies from Plum Island there, the supposed home of Lyme Disease

To be honest, the provided details of the violations read like a single incident mishandling hazardous waste in a lab being dissected for all the different procedural/training/security violations that were committed.

Every virus lab should have a few OCD EHS monitors watching every room and constantly yelling at the scientists.

They've had problems for years. The scientists work in an old crappy building. A brand new replacement facility has been standing there without any move to occupy it and close down the old facility. That take's money the Army didn't budget for.

The lab's most recent problems came to light when the steam fired decontamination system (basically huge autoclave) was wrecked by flooding. Instead of fixing it (the new facility would take of things), they switched to chemical decontamination. The workers there did not handle the chemical waste properly and things went to hell.

Yes, that’s not a training lab. It’s the kind of lab run by civilians.

Needs better officers, more of them and more discipline.
