I was wondering about this: “Nebraska may seem an unlikely location to process these individuals, but it is home to the National Quarantine Unit — the only federally funded quarantine unit in the U.S. — and the separate Nebraska Biocontainment Unit. They are highly specialized facilities located at the University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) & widely considered among the best in the world.”

En l'ull de la tempesta des de l'inici del #brot de #PPA, IRTA-CReSA és una isntal·lació d'alta biocontenció (#NBS3 o #BSL3) que porta treballant 20 anys en el campus de la UAB. Però sabem com de complexa i costosa és una instal·lació d'aquestes característiques? Aquí una entrada que compara #BSL3 i #BSL4, amb infografies bastant acceptables i realistes.
I com sempre, en cas de dubte, preguntin.
