| | | leaves a lot of questions and has a lot of holes. there are no details. none. zip. nada. leaves out way too much and leaves too much ambiguity in what is there to be anything viable.
0.) a nasal swab isn't a 5 gallon pale of virus. It's a fucking q-tip. there's so little actual virus unless you stuffed the godamn thing in your ear, not bloody likely to infect a lab person. They have to amplify the virus in order to detect the signal to get the DNA to sequence so they can identify it. Also if identifying said virus means it came from something,,, e.g. it didn't start in the lab. it's already dubious from here.
1.) even when working with airborne virus... especially something like this, it is generally not airborne. so throw the breakers, reboot systems those cells and frozen shit just shut down. It's contained and just dies. you don't lick the jars. Shit isn't the velociraptors in jurassic park.
2.) is it possible a researcher was sloppy and got something on them? possible. not likely and not as described. needle stick, pipet stick, etc. all possible. even if culture medi spill all is bleached the fuck out of. it's just not likely. even if stick or poke, has to be viable sample. there are other issues.
3.) "not knowing it was a nasty bug" the way the person writes is like as a foreigner directing a bunch of cretins. i'm calling bullshit. ex-wife would have been one of these,,, and i can assure you nasty or not nasty all is treated as nasty, even in china. have visited biotech and academic labs all over usa and in asia. generally speaking find hard to believe sloppy as described. these are all smart well trained people who take pride in work. they do not move about as described. moreover have not known one technician or otherwise in 30+ years who doesn't know what they are working on. would be worst kept secret ever. |
