Whatever happened, I bet it said it was a gazetted road.

/tinfoil hat on

It is interesting that Italy still hasn't found their patient zero, might be a coincidence but the latest patient in California has no travel history or known contact with potentially infected people. It's not like biological agents haven't been used as weapons before.

/Tinfoil hat off

Maybe they will have to move the Baboons out of that Sydney hospital so they have room for people with the virus.

The Chinese are not the first to have problems with viral security at one of their labs. The USA has form too.

I heard on the tv early this morning that the person in California who has contacted the said disease lives very close to where the
people who came over from China are housed at the airforce base,whilst they do there 14 day stay.

Maybe she works at said airforce base.

Italy like France, is also one of those countries that travel in reverse in a human crisis, so maybe it has yet to catch up with them on the way back?

If you get me drift.

Also a bit odd that it escaped from a Biological Warfare Laboratory. What the **** were they playing with this thing for anyway?

I wouldn't put it past "the country of origin" to be prepared to wipe out thousands of their citizens in a bid to stem the tide of overpopulation & if it ****s up the rest of the world so be it, that's a good thing. They could even have an antidote for this only to be used when attempts to eventually stop it have failed.

Their now Leader seems to be a bit of a weirdo with some crazy ideas & another one who is Boss forever..

Tote, now about those Tinfoil hats, got many in stock?

Yeah, something like this brings out all the fringe dwellers. First up it is not a biological warfare facility. It is a level 4 biological laboratory dedicated to the study of and production of vaccines for diseases such as Ebola, or in the case of China, the study of the SARS virus , from the outbreak in 1989. Australia has 4 such laboratories. The latest virus COVID-19, is believed to have been transmitted by an infected monkey/'s , which through slack bio-security, was allowed to make contact with the public. There are a number of theories how , but I don't think it matters. It happened. Here is a list of laboratories through out the World.

Biosafety Level - List of BSL-4 Facilities - liquisearch.com

Explaining Bio-safety levels 1,2,3, and 4.

Biosafety Levels 1, 2, 3 & 4 | What's The Difference?

There are only two facilities in the World that hold the smallpox virus. One in Russia, one in the USA. Wiki gives a different location of the Australian level 4 labs.

Biosafety level 4 laboratories are used for diagnostic work and research on easily transmitted pathogens which can cause fatal disease. These include a number of viruses known to cause

viral hemorrhagic fever

such as

Marburg virus

,

Ebola virus

,

Lassa virus

, and

Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever

. Other pathogens handled at BSL-4 include

Hendra virus

,

Nipah virus

, and some

flaviviruses

. Additionally, poorly characterized pathogens which appear closely related to dangerous pathogens are often handled at this level until sufficient data are obtained either to confirm continued work at this level, or to permit working with them at a lower level.

This level is also used for work with

Variola virus

, the causative agent of

smallpox

, though this work is only performed at the

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

in Atlanta, United States, and the

State Research Center of Virology and Biotechnology

in Koltsovo, Russia.
