Suspected SARS virus and flu samples found in Chinese biologist's luggage: FBI
- boomboomsubban 7y agoThis is an article about a report from November 2019 detailing an event in 2018 that does not have any clear malicious intent. The article details how dangerous bad relations between Chinese and American biologists can be, but also seems to be rather inconsequential fearmongering.
- heelix 7y agoThis was not just 'some flu' samples, it was MERS, which had a ~34% lethality rate. Is this article about the same chap who was smuggling research samples out of the Winnipeg labs into the US or is this a different incident? (Not shocked that folks might try to steal samples - be it to get a jump on an academic paper or just plain old fashion corporate theft)
