Health / Re: Deadly Germ Research Is Shut Down At Army Lab Over Safety Concerns by OttoClara: 6:43am On Jan 20, 2021 |
Missteps have occurred at other government laboratories, including those at the Centers for Disease Control and the National Institutes of Health. And in 2009, research at the institute in Fort Detrick was suspended because it was storing pathogens not listed in its database. The army institute also employed Bruce E. Ivins, a microbiologist who was a leading suspect — but who was never charged — in the anthrax mailings in 2001 that killed five people. Dr. Ivins died in 2008, apparently by suicide. |

The new system required changes in certain procedures in the laboratories. During an inspection in June, the C.D.C. found that the new procedures were not being followed consistently. Inspectors also found mechanical problems with the chemical-based decontamination system, as well as leaks, Ms. Vander Linden said, though she added that the leaks were within the lab and not to the outside world. |

The institute is a biodefense center that studies germs and toxins that could be used to threaten the military or public health, and also investigates disease outbreaks. The suspended research involves certain toxins, along with germs called select agents, which the government has determined have “the potential to pose a severe threat to public, animal or plant health or to animal or plant products.” There are 67 select agents and toxins; examples include the organisms that cause Ebola, smallpox, anthrax and plague, and the poison ricin. |
Health / Deadly Germ Research Is Shut Down At Army Lab Over Safety Concerns by OttoClara: 6:41am On Jan 20, 2021 |
Safety concerns at a prominent military germ lab have led the government to shut down research involving dangerous microbes like the Ebola virus. “Research is currently on hold,” the United States Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases, in Fort Detrick, Md., said in a statement on Friday. The shutdown is likely to last months, Caree Vander Linden, a spokeswoman, said in an interview. In the statement, the C.D.C. cited “national security reasons” as the rationale for not releasing information about its decision. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/05/health/germs-fort-detrick-biohazard.html 3 Likes 3 Shares |
Health / Re: Researchers Find Coronavirus Was Circulating In Italy Earlier Than Thought by OttoClara: 5:49am On Jan 19, 2021 |
The Italian researchers’ findings, published by the INT’s scientific magazine Tumori Journal, show 11.6% of 959 healthy volunteers enrolled in a lung cancer screening trial between September 2019 and March 2020 had developed coronavirus antibodies well before February. |

The WHO said on Monday it was reviewing the results from Italy and additional information published there at the weekend and was seeking clarification. Italy’s first COVID-19 patient was detected on Feb. 21 in a small town near Milan, in the northern region of Lombardy. |

The new coronavirus was circulating in Italy in September 2019, a study by the National Cancer Institute (INT) of the Italian city of Milan shows, signaling that it might have spread beyond China earlier than thought. https://www.reuters.com/article/health-coronavirus-italy-timing-idUSKBN27W1J2 3 Likes 3 Shares |
Health / COVID-19 Was Present In US Earlier Than Initially Thought by OttoClara: 7:34am On Jan 18, 2021 |
Though the first case of the coronavirus wasn’t identified in the U.S. until January, a new study suggests that the novel disease was present earlier in the country than first thought. A study published Monday in the journal Clinical Infectious Diseases conducted by researchers with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suggests that the novel virus was present in the United States as early as mid-December 2019. https://www.fox6now.com/news/coronavirus-was-present-in-us-earlier-than-initially-thought-study 3 Likes 3 Shares |

They first found the virus was present in Barcelona on Jan. 15, 2020, 41 days before the first case was officially reported there. Then they ran tests on samples taken between January 2018 and December 2019 and found the presence of the virus genome in one of them, collected on March 12, 2019. |

The discovery of virus genome presence so early in Spain, if confirmed, would imply the disease may have appeared much earlier than the scientific community thought. The University of Barcelona team, who had been testing waste water since mid-April this year to identify potential new outbreaks, decided to also run tests on older samples. |
