The deadly 1918 virus behind the Spanish flu has been reconstructed in an effort to predict future pandemics and develop new vaccines and treatments.
The virus, created by Adolfo Garcia-Sastre of Mount Sinai School of Medicine and colleagues, is contained at the Centers for Disease Control following strict safety conditions.
I wonder if these are the same strict safety conditions that allowed those bubonic plague-infested rats to escape a while ago.

After nine years of effort, in a top secret program, scientists have recreated the deadly 1918 Spanish flu virus, which caused one of the biggest pandemics in human history. The virus is stockpiled in a government laboratory in Atlanta, Georgia. Despite the danger, the DNA sequence of this flu is now available to scientists over the internet.
