Would this be the type of facility that they would test the Corona Virus on chimps?

It is. They are.

don't think they really need to test the coronavirus on anything at this point, we know a lot about it. They may need to use animals for early vaccine trials, but they usually start with mice or something like that
Shite nvm just looked it up. Testing to see if and how it affects other animals and where the virus congregates in the body.

They've already sent an e-mail saying the chimps can work from home.

I wonder what a slightly used/tested on chimp appraises for these days.

My best friends dad lived in north park and had woods behind his house that backed up to this. (Woods gone now) lots of weird shite was back there. We used to hear the monkeys all the time.

My brother works at the primate lab out in Oregon. If they close down the research center, there is a very (un)lucky group of individuals who will get to stay behind, locked on campus with the primates.
According to him, the monkeys can carry COVID19.

Not sure, let me dial my friend Dr. Mary and see what she has to say about it.

Testing it on chimps sounds like a good way to turn it into CoronaAIDS
