Seriously. Some of you guys dont know what your talking about. Fausto thanks for backingme.
Nobody is getting in or out of these places without access. These labs are under the tightest security. Its so tight your ballz hurt. They have so many contingency plans if something were to go wrong.

Its not about someone breaking in its about someone on the inside releasing it or even worse, the government in some sick evil manner.
 
Someone on the inside huh. First of all how would they get it outta there. They probably give them full cavity searches upon leaving. 2ndly they most likely have 1000000 cameras sensors etc to detech any foul play

Honestly, pretty much anyone with a degree in molecular biology could concoct something like this if they really, really, really wanted to. If it does happen, it'll be out of an improvised lab somewhere, not a federal facility.

 
1). Fausto visits fancy new lab on CDC open house day.

2). Fausto pats cute little lab mouse on head.

3). Cute mouse bites Fausto on finger drawing blood.

4). The next day Fausto, wearing his infamous thong, asks "hey, is it hot in here or is it just me?"

5). Entire CDC workforce dead within 24 hours

6). Ensuing global contamination, the end of human civilization as we know it thanks to our beloved ATOTer, Fausto. 😀

THIS is the scenario that scares me. (Thirld world rogue nations or groups with the $$ that could finance this)
 
you guys do realize that you don't have to be at CDC to make this stuff right?
what's to stop someone from doing this in their home?

Example: the entire floor both above and below the Level 4 lab is backup power and HVAC if something were to cause either to crap out. There's also a tiny apartment off the main lab if someone were to expose themselves to something untreatable like Ebola. They basically have to live in there until they recover or die. They cannot be moved out of the lab until the issue is resolved.

Wow. :Q

That's some crazy stuff, but quite necessary I suppose.
 
Damn duck hunters!! 😉

I read once that every single strain of the flu is carried among ducks and other aquatic birds.

Scary stuff - especially if some group WANTED to engineer something like this and release it INTENTIONALLY to do harm!

well as long as they were not video taping the scenic hudson valley before hand i'd feel safe.

"Animals" ? Hope it was just mice.
Yep. It's stupidly expensive to use higher critters, so researchers won't unless they think they have to for the sake of the experiment.

I think you guys watch to many movies. This stuff is probably so well contained with like 6 levels of safety measures in the event of something happening

Obviously you have not watched ENOUGH movies! The guy is going to steal the monkey infected with this, take it to a local pet store to sell on the black animal market. The store owner is going to be bitten and the disease spreads to the entire country, we all die a horrible death with puss coming out of our eyes and limbs falling off into piles of decaying flesh which smells of elderberries and skunks. The US Army comes in and firebombs everyone and we have a New World Order.

Fsck, where is my goddamned tinfoil hat?! :frown:

Stop being so positive

Sure. Even the lackey's can have the ear of a god every so often. You will do my bidding for me.
