Battle of the killer bugs: The lab where viruses aren't just welcome - they're breeding them | Mail Online

Last person to leave England please turn out the lights....and set fire to all the loo rolls.
The above article appeared yesterday in Mail on Sunday magazine. The journalist even said where the lab was situated,the only thing he left out was the scanner codes to get in the place!!! Why stop there!!
Given that there was a massive security breach at Buckingham Palace in last few days and some journalist was sat in the Queens car all by himself...how long before we get something happening at a lab.
Just note what diseases they are holding there,even Russian spring/summer encephalitus,Ebola etc.
Half way down page interesting to note that the CJD prions are not affected by ordinary disinfectants and not affected by temperatures below 1000 degrees. Heard THAT before as well.
I don't have TV and am contemplating giving up reading the papers....not surprised everyone I talk to is depressed with articles like this.

My God Pat,This is the thing they are going to blame it all on.
But this comment made me laugh

If one of us became infected with the new flu virus, it wouldn't be the end of the world,' says McCauley. 'But we are very aware of the wider environmental hazards, and of the attitude to safety working in these facilities requires. You do have to be fairly grown-up.'

Fairly Grown UP!!! LOL
They are handling the most infectious bugs ever so they turn the x-box off for a bit.

Another thing!!!
