CDC Sends Out Letter Following Pennsylvania Crash Involving 100 Test Monkeys

 

 A truck and trailer carrying about 100 monkeys collided with a dump truck Friday afternoon along Route 54 just off Interstate 80 near Danville, Pennsylvania.

Three monkeys escaped the crash. The monkeys were later reportedly “humanely euthanized.”

The CDC is now monitoring local residents for cold-like symptoms.
That’s very comforting considering the lab leak from Wuhan that just destroyed the global economy.


The monkeys are originally from Mauritius an island country off the African coast.

Earlier this week a woman who came in contact with the monkeys said she is experiencing symptoms and has pink-eye and a cough.

Earlier this week, following the much-publicized crash, the CDC sent out a letter on precautions when dealing with monkeys.  The CDC tells the first responders to monitor themselves and contact their physician if they experience symptoms.

“If you were within five feet of the NHP crates without respiratory and eye protection, monitor yourself for signs of illness including fever, fatigue, cough, diarrhea, and vomiting. If you become ill during the 31-day quarantine period (until February 21, 2022), you should immediately report to your physician that you had exposure to monkeys and notify the Pennsylvania State Department of Health at (717) 787-3350.”
