as an aside, why was the truck hauling something from Tulane in New Orleans headed up north on I-59 around Meridian to go to Florida?
Illegql immigrant driver with Cal license.

Does Tulane have a testing facility using monkeys that would make sense for this truck to be driving thru Jasper County in Mississippi to deliver the monkeys in Florida?
I can't think a monkey truck is doing point to point. Probably collecting monkies from all over the US.

We are continuing to look for the one monkey that is still on the loose.

The monkeys reportedly pose potential health threats and are aggressive.
Oh frick. This is how it starts. What fatal, human designed, monkey pox disease just got loose in our country?

Tulane Primate Center Incidents and Controversies
In 1998, two dozen rhesus macaques escaped from their cage into the surrounding area of the TNPRC.
In 2005, over 50 monkeys escaped from their cage into the surrounding area of the TNPRC. Four of the primates died or were never found.

In a really weird way, doesn’t this kind of validate Dr Mary’s Monkey?

Thats what I was thinking. Give the Halloween season a little spice.

What a funny sentence.

Tulane has an animal research facility in Algiers. One upstate but maybe they are sharing research with a Mississippi school.

It's actually outside of Covington.
It's one of the largest primate facilities in the world.

The Tulane National Primate Research Center (TNPRC) is heavily focused on infectious disease research, with significant programs in the host innate and adaptive immune response to infection, neurobiology, Lyme disease, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and other diseases of aging. The TNPRC is the only NPRC that houses a Regional Biocontainment Laboratory (RBL), capable of doing studies in nonhuman primates (NHPs) at biosafety level 3 (BSL-3), including on tuberculosis, SARS-CoV-2, and other BSL-3 agents.

One of the nation’s longest-running National Institutes of Health-funded research programs has a new name. The Tulane National Primate Research Center will now be known as the Tulane National Biomedical Research Center to better reflect the breadth of research conducted at its Covington, Louisiana, campus as well as its growing contributions to public health.
“For more than six decades, the Tulane National Primate Research Center has played a central role in addressing our nation’s most urgent health challenges and has a well-earned reputation as a global leader in improving human health through the discovery of causes, prevention, treatments and cures,” Tulane President Michael A. Fitts said. “As science has evolved through the decades, so have the scope, scale and approaches of the center. Clearly the center has entered a new and exciting chapter — one that is part of Tulane’s rise in all aspects — and one that requires a new name, as well.”
The center has been funded by the National Institutes of Health since 1964, making it Tulane University’s largest and longest-running NIH grant. It receives about $35 million in annual NIH support, partners with nearly 500 investigators from 155 institutions worldwide, and contributes more than $107 million each year to the Louisiana economy. And, with over 350 employees, the center is one of St. Tammany's largest employers.
