In response to "Bery: Canada's high-level animal disease lab is in Winnipeg." by loosilu

I don't know why that's not in a remote facility in the baffin island groups.

It would make for an excellent movie ... I Am Legend 2, even.

because you don't want it to be a total pain the ass to get to. -- nm - Reagen Jul 27, 10:56 8
- When there's a threat of outbreak in the US, samples are flown by fighter jet to NY. I don't know if it would be that much more of a problem to put - loosilu Jul 27, 11:00
- what, and Winnipeg isn't? :) - Beryllium Jul 27, 10:57 6
  - Yeah, but you want the scientists working on them to be *good* scientists - not the ones who'll take a job in Baffin because they're desperate -- nm - Roger More Jul 27, 11:01 5
    - Still sounds like a coin toss. nm - Dignan Jul 27, 11:03
    - scientists will go anywhere, I wouldn't worry .:) -- nm - loosilu Jul 27, 11:03 3
      - you wouldn't say that if you'd been to the Baffin. -- nm - mafic Jul 27, 11:04 2
        
        fair enough. Anyway, it's off the table because of winter access. -- nm - loosilu Jul 27, 11:05 1
        
        it's not like the antarctic. it's actually pretty easy to get around the north in the winter. as long as you're not using a boat. -- nm - mafic Jul 27, 11:08
