Reply #14: You can't release something into the wild that already exist there

It's just not that uncommon. Where you have rodents you have a risk of bubonic plague already. There are around 15 people per year treated for it in the US alone. It doesn't spread like it used to due to the use of antibiotics.

I know nothing about the facility in question, which is why I didn't comment on it. It's good that the CDC and the FBI are investigating this, IMO. This should never have been allowed to happen, if that's what you mean, then I agree. However, this particular issue isn't a big one.

Hopefully they will learn their lesson from this and we won't have a big one. If they don't, then Stephen King was a prophet.
