Employees eating at their desks - or in the lab?

[Guenevere]

And what are they NOT telling us?

[BenLurkin]

"They were being careless"
"Ping Null and Void"

[VietVet876]

A percentage of scientists there have “Mohammed” as one of their names.

[Spruce]

So many sci-fi apocalypse movies start with this very premise.

[Red Badger]

I've seen this movie...........it doesn't end well...........😥

[Red Badger]

Bingo!............

[FreedomPoster]

Well yeah! So why didn’t you?

[BenLurkin]

Haven’t had my second pot of coffee yet this morning.

“To maximize the safety of our employees, there are multiple layers of protective equipment and validated processes,”

What about the safety of the rest of the people in the world?

"What about the safety of the rest of the people in the world?"

You think the labs in Russia and China, and probably Iran and similar places, come remotely close to the safety standards exercised in US facilities?? You think maybe they are NOT working on those pathogens and perhaps others?? If so....think again.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

I’ll take this report with a grain of salt without knowing what specific protocols were violated. Safety standards in the modern world are generally so numerous and detailed that an organization can’t possibly comply with all of them.

[dangerdoc]

These inspections can involve many things, maybe is is a lab safety issue, maybe not.

[DocRock]

CDC probably watched the Hot Zone on National Geographic

[FreedomPoster]

Acceptable!

LOL

The Stand

[mason-dixon]

They did not mention that Ft Detrick is 20 miles from Camp David. Also 50 miles by interstate highway (I-270) to the White House.

When the swamp-dwellers get desperate…

[DannyTN]

Yeah, this won't end well.

1. First most people will die of a severe flu-like illness.
2. The cute girl will sleep with Randall Flagg not realizing he is the devil.
3. She'll end up killing herself and the devil's child.
4. Then the survivors will gather into two cities, one good and one bad.
5. And then some arsonist guy will obtain a nuclear bomb and bring it to the bad city, where it will go off, leaving only the good city to start over.

You beat me, see 19.
