Expect, as last time, lots of noise and finger poining at Merial and then later when the story dies, a burried disclosure that it looks like it's at the government facility..........

Allegedly they sent a sample of every known virus through the post and it's gone missing, but that's just speculation....

Hmmm

How many more

How many more leaks does there have to be from pitbright before they close it down and bring in some independant investigators?? It leaked from a valve, sounds like excuses really. You would not catch something escaping from a valve in the CDC it wouldnt make it out of the building.... are these people storing viral samples inside tupperware ?

Has someone opened a pharaoh's tomb?

Since Brown took over we've had floods, storms, economic collapse, a run on the banks, plague, pestilence, a meltdown of security and terrorism. It'll be the death of the first born next.

no big surprise !

Spooky! Although as I recall the plagues were allegedly brought down by the Christian god (Yaweh, aka God v1.0, from the Old Testament) rather than Egyptian gods - and anyway I don't remember the bit about the bank run in the Bible. :)
