Why is there a BSL (of any level) in Sudan? nostr:note17lsya605zxaya74ur45vfgajyl5x4qxmcryl85rl8efeec3jrmnqgy2quk
Discussion
Probably because Sudan (and their neighbors) have issues with infectious diseases and having a lab nearby helps study and treat those diseases. You can't easily study infectious diseases without having samples of them, which in turn needs a BSL lab.
Anyway, all the diseases the article mentions are already out in the wild. This is a danger to people breaking into the lab. Not an existential risk to humanity as a whole.
Good question. Proxy lab for western countries like all the others…
