Title: CDC shuts down unsafe army lab in Maryland
Post by eau de sauvage on 05/17/20 at 18:38:55

US Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases at Ft. Detrick in Maryland, which was shut down in August after biosafety lapses with a number of pathogens.

It looks like the real story seems to be that the US army took the virus to Wuhan in Oct during the Military World Games, and released it there, but the plan backfired. A few weeks later the virus breaks out.

The News-Post reports that the facility has both level 3 and level 4 biosafety labs and has worked on pathogens such as Ebola, Yersinia pestis (plague), and Francisella tularensis (tularemia). Those pathogens are among those considered “select agents and toxins” by the Department of Health and Human Services, which only allows authorized labs to work on them.

How are you connecting these two articles?

I see no nexus between the two other than one lab was shut down and that athletes attended military games. Is this an assumption that the athletes carried SARS-COV-2 to Wuhan?

"A group of 17 athletes from the U.S. Armed Forces has arrived at the airport in the central Chinese city of Wuhan for the up-coming 2019 Military World Games here on Monday midnight."

I get that, but why ignore that SARS is not part of the Maryland lab content?

"Yersinia pestis (plague), and Francisella tularensis (tularemia)"

How are they connected?
