    More than 175 [lab mice] were found dead, and the city took possession of the remaining animals in April and euthanized 773.

    I hope the checked in with the CDC before they did that. Nothing of concern was found this time, but taking lab mice from an illegal biochemical situation could be dangerous.

      What’s the worst that could happen? The spread of some horrible zoonotic disease that brings that world to its knees? That hardly seems likely.

        Have you seen the shit municipal governments do? They aren’t known for basic competence

        Idk I am worried about the phrasing “the city took possession.” Most cities don’t have their own dangerous lab bio cleanup experts.

        Edit: I bothered to click and it was the county health dept that took samples and stuff, glad it wasn’t the sheriff lol

          Risky reply in this case. Took me a second to realize you weren’t agreeing with the one you replied to. Guessing that’s why you’re currently downvoted.

          I merely pointed out that some random person in a comment section doesn’t outweigh the knowledge of people who do it for a living.

          Your comment is just douchey bullshit.

            Douchey bullshit because yours has the same tone. I work with various government systems; they’re held together by tape and hopes, and I know this because I’m one of the people tasked with using said tape.

            There may very well be protocols in place for this kind of thing, but protocols are rarely adhered to very firmly, because everyone believes that someone has a clue of what they’re doing.

                On the internet because you’re not welcomed in real life, is the vibe I get from you.

            doesn’t outweigh the knowledge of people

            Rather, you suggested the people were infallible and beyond reproach… Those aren’t the same things. Oversights happen. Mistakes are made.

        Do you think the group that found this were professionals at infectious disease control? My fear was a county inspector took the animals without realizing the severity of the situation.
