Any cases of Covid-19 at the labs?

I know some of the DOE Labs are under minimum operations but no one had reported any covid  cases?
Are there any?

Whoa, hold on partner. First they have to figure out the proper charge code. Until then, nobody is permitted to get sick.

No confirmed cases at LANL

Of course, it is entirely coincidental that Wuhan is Home to China's first BSL Level-4 biolab, opened in 2017.

"confirmed" does not mean presumptive positive. This next week will be the two week marker for all the "rumors" about the presumptive positive cases at LANL. Despite management's protests to the contrary, there have been numerous people that have been told to self-isolate for two weeks. What will LANL have to say when any of these cases become "confirmed"?

That connection deserves much more investigation by international authorities than is apparently being done.

Not confirmed. Not that hard to understand. Hey just take sick leave or vacation if you worried.

There are thousands of positive cases all over the country that have nothing to do with LANL. Or foreign travel, or contact with foreigners.

Sounds kinda weird, do you have some issues with "foreigners".

Which is more probable: accidental contamination from a new BSL-4 biolab, or people eating bats and pangolins?

Yes but the public can’t absorb that fact.

Yes. Especially the ones who bring in infectious diseases knowingly.

How about the infectious diseases of stupidly. What have you ever done for the country, what have you done besides live of the work of "foreigners". Last time I checked LANL and even LLN owe their existence to "foreigners" All you LLNL rednecks should realize that not only was Teller a foreigner but he was also a Jew, now consider that the next time you go on about "them foreigners". If not for "them foreigners" you would be speaking Russian, eating sushi, or drinking German beer.

I'm watching MSNBC and it is absolutely heartbreaking to see what Trump has done to Italy.

You might take time out of your rant to consider that you have no idea what you are talking about, nor especially to whom you are talking.

It is pretty obvious to whom I am talking to. You have been on this blog for some time now with your anti science, anti LANL rants. You seem to have little knowledge of the history of the labs, what is done at the labs, why it is done at the labs and who did what at the labs. It is rather obvious you have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA about the labs.

LANL and LLNL was founded by foreign scientists, that is fact look it up at some point. You know Teller came from a place "called" Hungary, I know you don't this is a country but it is, again look it up.

3/23/2020 5:36 PM here, Well, you have your posters completely confused. I am a retired LANL scientist (Ph.D. physics), who thinks LANL is and was the most competent and modern multi-program national security laboratory in the country. I am not anti-science and not anti-LANL in the least. And I am probably more knowledgeable about LANL history and the Manhattan project than you are, having spent many years working very closely with the LANL Historian in the LANL Archives building on DP Road. I have read literally thousands of the old mimeographed and onion skin memos from the earliest days at LANL and the other Manhattan Project facilities around the country, many of which were signed by the foreign scientists you mention. Try directing your rants at the anti-science, anti-LANL posters who are actually posting here. It isn't me.

How many more Americans will Trump try to kill before the 25th amendment is invoked? Do it now!

Agreed this entire thing is due to Trump, none of this would have happened under Hillary. Trump had all the information and he did nothing not one thing, the planes kept coming in, the ships kept sailing and he will now order the country open by April 12th and kill untold numbers of people. The country has gone mad. What scares me is not so much Trump because we always have crazy people like him. It is the untold masses that voted him. These people are dangerous and should have never been allowed to vote. These are the uneducated, ignorant, low wage, deplorables that Russia could influence so easily. These people should never be allowed to vote particularly under a system where you so much fake news is allowed on the internet. This has to change.

The stuff Trump is saying is just nuts, he said the virus is a hoax, then he said that fish tank poison cures it, now he is saying that the come hell or high water the US will be open by Easter. It is just crazy, who knows what other nutball things he says are, I refuse REFUSE to watch his press conferences and agree with what many in the news are saying that they should not be televised due to his lies and insanity. I hope California and New York say no to Trumps "open" command. He can blame China all he wants but the reality is he started a trade war with China so of course China would not trust the US and hid the numbers because of Trumps action. I am not saying China is right but when you have crazy nut job like Trump than do not expect good reactions from other countries. Not to mention that he totally gutted the CDC and fired all their pandemic people. We live in crazy crazy times when a bankrupt TV idiot TV personality runs your country. How did it get this state.

The only thing we have to fear is Trump himself. The virus is going to hit the US harder than any county and this is on Trump. One good thing that this crisis shows is that capitalism is uniquely ill equipped to deal with such events and hopefully people realize that in our global world that ideas of the rugged individual is nonsense.

So unprepared hospitals due to states' overdoing it on Medicaid expansion on Obama's insistence have nothing to do with overwhelmed ERs and ICUs? It's all Trump's fault? Did you comply with your Governor's mandate to isolate when it was issued? Are you complying now?

Yes,yes yes.

Trump owns this and Cuomo is having to clean it up.

Cuomo doesn't want quarantine. After all the complaining about Trump not locking down the country, the governor of the hot spot agrees with Trump’s original position.

False, Trump wanted to close the whole place down, no food in or out, no medicine, nothing. Cuomo came in like a boss and laid down the law and told Trump no way. Cuomo is now essentially in charge of our response. He is going to win by a landslide in Nov. Heck it may even be possible they invoke the 25th and remove Trump and put Cuomo in to save the hundred thousands lives.

Who ever said "no food in or out, no medicine, nothing"?? Nobody, just your fevered jerky little mind. PS: the 25th A does not allow "putting someone in" it allows the President to be removed in favor of the Vice President. Get a grip.

Plutonium Shots on NIF.

Tri-Valley Cares needs to be on this if they aren't already. We need to make sure that NNSA and LLNL does not make good on promises to pursue such stupid ideas as doing Plutonium experiments on NIF. The stupidity arises from the fact that a huge population is placed at risk in the short and long term. Why do this kind of experiment in a heavily populated area? Only a moron would push that kind of imbecile area. Do it somewhere else in the god forsaken hills of Los Alamos. Why should the communities in the Bay Area be subjected to such increased risk just because the lab's NIF has failed twice and is trying the Hail Mary pass of doing an SNM experiment just to justify their existence? Those Laser EoS techniques and the people analyzing the raw data are all just BAD anyways. You know what comes next after they do the experiment. They'll figure out that they need larger samples. More risk for the local population. Stop this imbecilic pursuit. They wan...

Trump is to gut the labs.

The budget has a 20% decrease to DOE office of science, 20% cut to NIH. NASA also gets a cut. This will  have a huge negative effect on the lab. Crazy, juts crazy. He also wants to cut NEA and PBS, this may not seem like  a big deal but they get very little money and do great things.

LLNL un-diversity

Actual post from Dec. 15 from one of the streams. This is a real topic. As far as promoting women and minorities even if their qualifications are not as good as the white male scientists, I am all for it. We need diversity at the lab and if that is what it takes, so be it.  Quit your whining. Look around the lab, what do you see? White male geezers. How many African Americans do you see at the lab? Virtually none. LLNL is one of the MOST undiverse places you will see. Face it folks, LLNL is an institution of white male privilege and they don't want to give up their privileged positions. California, a state of majority Hispanics has the "crown jewel" LLNL nestled in the middle of it with very FEW Hispanics at all!
