    CDC Epidemiologist Goes Missing

    Well, this doesn't sound good. Dude went home from CDC in Atlanta almost two weeks ago after saying he didn't feel well...... Hasn't been seen since. Hey BMills, you might have patient zero wandering around somewhere....Scary stuff.

    You would think the CDC would have a protocol about people working with nasty bugs going home sick....

    I'm gonna be really fucking pissed if this is how the world ends, like the plot out of some B movie.

    So I looked up his publications... he is an ethnographic epidemiologist focusing on chronic disease (eg COPD)... so this guy probably wasn't suited up in BSL4 gear in Atlanta. He was lead author on quite a few interesting papers... smart guy hope he turns up OK.

    Hope they find him ok.

    Working where I do in proximity to NCI and USAMRA I have heard some messed up stories.

    The cdc-researcher who mysteriously vanished had recently been passed over for a promotion. Also told neighbor that his wife should remove his number from her cell phone? https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...=.7fc33b949699
    Scientists now have decisive molecular evidence that humans and chimpanzees once had a common momma and that this lineage had previously split from monkeys.
