In order to make a little bit of hundreds of thousands of eve isk, I commanded all of the staff hung up the number on the computer, and help me mine the mining.

In the Beach City is such fearfulness, I am owning many Archlord money in my pocket.

RE: “More Biolabs to NV, UT, CO, WY area.
Or share with Yukon Territ, Canada?“
These labs need to able to recruit and retain the BEST researchers (and their families). I think remote locations would not support this, plus provide a false sense of security.
Accidents happen 99.99% of the time WITHIN the lab — whether it is in the Yukon or Boston.

It is critical that the rapidly expanding BSL3 & 4 labs are not “regulated” and threatened with prospective fines for past deficits by an external, partisan agency.
Instead, these mission-critical labs need a dynamic, state-of-the-art

The Govt. must step in a regulate these ventures very closely, especially in this day and age of worlwide terorrism. It seems kind of ironic that a person can get in big trouble if your car is not environmentally compliant, but yet you can have a bunch of nimrods running around playing with bio germs and virus’s virtually unchecked. The way to play it safe is to not let it happen in the first place unlesss it’s sanctioned by the Govt. Just because this is America with it’s free enterprise system, that doesn’t give anyone the right to endanger the larger population with some enterprising adventure that could potentially wipeout mankind.
Shut those down that are not specifically working on government sanctioned and regulated projects. Come on America — –wake up before it’s too late.

I used to work in the nuclear power industry, which has an extensive program, mandated by Nuclear Regulatory Commission Regulations, to deal with the insider threat.
The most serious problem we have with biolab security is 1. training and re-training. The suggestions previously listed nail that one pretty well. 2. As a secondary requirement ongoing monitoring of personnel who work with killer bugs is needed.
In the nuclear power industry individuals are monitored. Periodcally they are interviewed by their supervisors. EVERYTHING is fair game, how much are you drinking, how’s your marriage, are you indebt — how much. If an employee suddenly gets a couple of speeding tickets, his boss whats to know why, what’s the cause of the instability. The employee will be taken out of the control room and shifted to a non-critical job until a subsequent review allows him back in the room. We used to joke that Ted Kennedy’s drinking and wreckless driving didn’t mean much for being a Senator, but it meant that he could never get a job as a nuclear plant operator.
While this may seem excessive, it has been standard operating procedure in the nuclear industry for decades. I recommend it for who work with dangerous pathogens.

We cannot afford to be lax here. Good comments above. Let’s stay heads up and pay attention, this stuff is not funny and it can get all to serious all to quick. No sense in taking unnecessary risks. Play it smart. Think on this.

when I was growing up(now66) my parents an M>D & R.N. along with the nursing training and cooking training in the USAF goal was to teach in my words that “cleanliness is next to godliness” & everything should be cleaned so that you can eat off it from flors to ceilings if this conept is “drilled” in to all;top to bottom personel there wouldn’t be fear of accidents.

These are all great ideas but my main concern is who has access to all these “bugs” The last thing we need is a security breach and some fanatical terrorist dumbass goes and releases or sells that crap on Ebay. I think security and clearance of personnel should be the top priority at bioweapon/bioresearch facilities.
