    More than 175 [lab mice] were found dead, and the city took possession of the remaining animals in April and euthanized 773.

    I hope the checked in with the CDC before they did that. Nothing of concern was found this time, but taking lab mice from an illegal biochemical situation could be dangerous.

        In your extensive experience, how common are unlicensed biotech R&D facilities being run in secret? And I see no reason being capable of biotech R&D would preclude it from being capable of more malicious purposes. If anything, I’d assume a significant amount of overlap between the two capabilities.
