Captain Trips?

Could super flu escape the laboratory?
This has been a lurking fear of mine ever since I read The Stand 25 years ago.
A new paper estimates the risk of a laboratory-enhanced flu strain escaping said laboratory at between 5 and 60 percent. Maryn McKenna explains what that wide, wide spread actually means.

Great book, by the way.
