BioSecurity Research Facility Opens in Geelong
Just an hour from Melbourne, they are now testing the nastiest animal diseases, presumably including many that can infect humans. I feel ill.
What’s been described as the world’s most advanced biosecurity research facility has been opened in the Victorian city of Geelong.
The new laboratory inside CSIRO’s Australian Animal Health Laboratory was opened in the Victorian city of Geelong on Friday for research of infectious diseases that affect humans, domestic animals and wildlife.
As well as identifying and characterising viruses, the new facility will also investigate the origin of zoonotic diseases that affect both people and animals.
…CSIRO says the building is the most secure biosecurity and biocontainment facility in Australia.
A 1.5km exclusion zone around the building keeps livestock away.
You can almost guarantee that the precautions taken are less than sufficient. The proximity to 4 million people is evidence enough. Smug wankers.
