  • On Plum Island, off the tip of Long Island’s North Fork, scientists study some of the most infectious pathogens known to man. But the center will soon be decommissioned and replaced by a new, billion-dollar facility in the middle of the country.

    Way to leave us hanging at the end of the video with: "Although it may cause alarm to have such a facility on the mainland, it may actually be safer." Then the video abruptly ends, with no reasons why it would be safer. The Plum Island bio-risk director only mentioned that they've been affected by hurricanes and other "bad sea conditions."
    However, Kansas is affected by tornadoes, rainstorms and floods, like most of the country. How will the new center be safe from those and other hazards? When it opens to the press, let's hope that Bloomberg and other media will be there to report on it.

      They probably don’t want to admit that this facility was never up to code and that stuff has been leaking out of here for years. Just look how decrepit it looks. Top secret aka zero oversight or accountability.

      ​@@christianjon8064That building you saw that was behind the guy talking was the old facility no longer in use. The current building is quite modern. It is the other building shown in the video

      Safer they say. Don't trust em. Putting it smack dab in the center of the country?

    Let me tell you all about my fellow scientists. They are to busy seeing they could rather than asking if they should. Quite dangerous mentality, but it's common.

    "It is now safe to build these containment centers on the mainland." Cut to FANTASTIC use of b-roll footage of someone carrying a specimen walking backwards instead of using a trolley..........

    I work in biotech and I would absolutely leave everything on that island! Easier to contain if there was an outbreak versus literally the middle of the country.

    Wonder how much the govt paid to have them throw that line in at the end. Way to not technically lie guys - it ‘may’ actually be safer. Yeah okay.

    That ending lol, feels like there was going to be more to her statement but then BAM it just ended. I’m guessing this was aired on Bloomberg television and they cut it short for UA-cam?

    Plum island is only 10 miles from Shelter island and around 20 from Lyme, Connecticut.

    Nice Valentine, Bloomberg. Because they’ve done such a great job keeping us and our food so safe across decades? Bravo lately. We have been regularly failed by our well-paid institutions so terribly.
