Someone in Louisiana released a deadly bacteria that will kill us all

USA Today Story

A dangerous, often deadly, type of bacteria that lives in soil and water has been released from a high-security laboratory at the Tulane National Primate Research Center in Louisiana.
quote:
The incident has raised concerns that bacteria from the lab may have contaminated the facility's grounds and though initial, limited tests didn't detect it, some officials are pressing behind the scenes for more action, records show. The safety breach at Tulane's massive lab complex 35 miles north of New Orleans is the latest in a recent series of significant biosafety accidents at some of the most prestigious laboratories in the country where research is performed on bacteria and viruses that are classified as potential bioterror agents.
"The fact that they can't identify how this release occurred is very concerning," said Richard Ebright, a biosafety expert from Rutgers University in New Jersey, who testified before Congress last summer in the wake of lab incidents at federal agencies involving anthrax, smallpox and a deadly strain of avian influenza.

Heard about this the other day. This could wipe out LA's most elite parish.

St Tammany is pretty rich, but it's not the most "elite."

If St Bernard survived the brain eating amoeba this thing has no chance.

That's because the amoeba had nothing to eat in da Parish.

Hence why St. Bernard survived. I think it was pretty much understood.

White flight can't outrun the monkey bacteria killer

I'm completely unsurprised by this. While looking for a job, I found dozens listed for the Primate Center. Seems they are very understaffed. And if you look at the qualifications necessary to work there, I can't imagine what made them think the NS was a good place to put such a facility.
