@MMKavanagh That’s why that paragraph in @KatherineEban’s VF story is so misleading:
BSL-3 labs are specifically designed to study respiratory pathogens like SARS-CoV-2. cdc.gov/training/quick…
BSL-3 labs are specifically designed to study respiratory pathogens like SARS-CoV-2. cdc.gov/training/quick…
@MMKavanagh @KatherineEban People study anthrax in BSL-3 labs. Anthrax! ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK53535…
Plus BSL-4 labs are built upon the principles of BSL-3.

@MMKavanagh @KatherineEban While BSL-4 labs are recognized for their pressurized suits and vacuumed-sealed double doors, BSL-3 labs also take extra precautions with ventilation...because again, BSL-3 labs are meant for respiratory pathogens. cdc.gov/labs/pdf/SF__1…
@MMKavanagh @KatherineEban Both the CDC and the WHO currently recommend that SARS-CoV-2, the hazardous germ at the center of this whole mess, be studied in ***BSL-3*** labs.
Also, I don’t know of any dentist offices with unidirectional airflow rooms/hoods that are sealed by double doors.
