I received a very alarming email from a friend. It was a YouTube video about a lab in California.
An illegal bio lab authorities have shut down was found to hold 1,000 bio-engineered rats, tissues, refrigerators, incubators, testing supplies, and other such things. It is in Reedly California and is called Prestige BioTech. Tissue samples were incorrectly stored and infectious disease samples of HIV, herpes, malaria, coronavirus, E.Coli, Hepatitis, and a couple of others. I guess they were testing to see if
I guess there was a bankruptcy and that is why it was closed. But why wasn't it taken care of correctly?
A local code enforcement officer happened to see a hose connected to the building and investigated inside and found all of this. Health staff later observed blood and thousands of other bodily fluid samples in the rooms.

Personally, I say that place should be burned to the ground and then what is leftover buried deep into the ground,

That's not good. It should have been cleaned out right

You'd think they'd be responsible enough to do that.

@celticeagle I hate to think our doctors and hospitals use those labs.

That's really a dirty and inhuman job they were doing.

To just leave it like they did was so irresponsible.

@aninditasen .......Yes, and the original occupiers of the lab should have gotten rid of all of it before they left. How irresponsible!

@celticeagle That was indeed. If the police doesn't destroy the tissues or organic things they stored those are going to spread disease.

So do I. Almost makes the other labs suspect.

The scary thought is: How many other labs like this are there? And what other animals are they using in testing?

The legal ones can be a big problem. Some years back there was an outbreak of Foot and Mouth which was traced to one of two labs in the UK. Because they were on the same science park it couldn't be proved which of them caused the outbreak. You'd think there would be enough safeguards and that if one lab has samples of a disease no other nearby lab could have the same - that way traceability would be possible. Both denied it was them so whichever it was got away with it even after all the devastation and misery they caused.
This is why any illegal lab and those responsible should be dealt with severely - but I doubt they will be, not those at the top. Always some patsy lower down the food chain who will take the blame.

They need to have strict laws and fines and such for not being responsible.
