An explosion occurred at the Vector State Virology Research Center near Novosibirsk . This research center has one of the most comprehensive collections of dangerous viruses in the world.

According to Rospotrebnadzor, on the fifth floor of a six-story laboratory building, a gas bottle exploded during repair work, after which a fire broke out on an area of 30 square meters. The fire is eliminated. One worker suffered. With burns of the second and third degree, he was taken to the hospital.

In Rospotrebnadzor emphasized that in the room where the explosion occurred, there were no biohazardous substances. At the same time, all the glass was broken in the building of the scientific center. In turn, the mayor of the science city of Koltsovo, where the "Vector" is located, said that at the time of repair the laboratory building was not used for its intended purpose. Nikolai Krasnikov said that the explosion occurred in preparation for the paintwork, and also assured that there was no biological hazard.

State Scientific Center "Vector" was founded in 1974. It is one of the largest research and production complexes in Russia, conducting basic research in the field of natural sciences. In the 1970-1980s, the center was developing biological and bacteriological weapons, as well as means of protection against them.

Also, a unique collection of cultures of microorganisms is collected at the Vector - in particular, this is one of two places in the world where the smallpox virus is stored. The center also houses the Ebola virus. Now Vector is part of the structure of Rospotrebnadzor.

Good thing I read Stephen King’s The Stand. Now I can sleep nights, knowing I’m either doomed or immune and a magic 90-year-old black lady will save the world.

Thank you so much for the comments and link. I will mention to her what you said. I’m not sure she will discuss with me the questions you asked though—she’s a friend in general, but is actually my boss where I work. So a little different relationship,,not like a close friend.

But I will do some research from the link you provided. And if she wants to discuss those personal details, I will private mail you. Again, thanks so much.

It's just a virology center. Not like they have ebola, small pox or genetically engineered super viruses there, right?

Looks like a scary error, or rather, another one.

Anyone looking to help their own health and illness issues should do this. Google the name of the health problem and then add “vitamins, minerals and nutrition to help.” You will find lots of suggestions. Then get a good book on diet and health. I imagine there are a lot of Adelle Davis’ books out there for a dollar or two. I have read and used them all: 1) Let’s Eat Right to Keep Fit; 2)Let’s Have Healthy Children (my firstborn is just finishing 21 years in Special Forces); 3) Let’s Get Well; and 4) Let’s Cook it Right. A basic knowledge will help you distinguish the conventional, “the American diet is a good one so you don’t really need extra vitamins” from “many people have individual needs that are not average or much stress or chronic deficiencies that need help” which I certainly discovered in my own case and among family members and friends.

According to a spokesman for the Russian Ministry of Science, “Just because I have two heads doesn’t mean nothing, my secretary has three legs and my wife has four of everything.”
