"They do take security seriously," Phillips said. But referring to the damage COVID-19 has wrought, he added,"This has just shown you can never be secure enough." During his work at the terrorism office, he visited many of the U.K.'s university-operated or privately administered laboratories, and he said he was most troubled by the threat that an insider could walk out the door with a bioweapon.
"The fact that this has created such a toxic shock around the world will be a neon advertisement to these people," he said."We are also trying to make sure that this doesn't become a weapon of the future," the U.S. ambassador to NATO, Kay Bailey Hutchison, said of the potential for enemies to repurpose the coronavirus."We need to deter and we need to be ready to defend, to save people's lives if there is such an attack," she told NBC News.
"It should give us pause," said Dr. Alexander Garza, who oversaw biodefense efforts when he ran the Office of Health Affairs as the Department of Homeland Security's chief medical officer from 2009 to 2013. The technology, including a type of gene editing known as CRISPR, provides fresh context for changing assumptions about what could be used as a biological weapon — changes that have been accelerated by COVID-19, according to Richard Pilch, who heads the biological weapons program at the Middlebury Institute's Center for Nonproliferation Studies, the world's largest nongovernmental non-proliferation research and education organization.
Everywhere is vulnerable to bioweapons... They're a broad class of potential infectious and/or deadly biological agents that can be customized to be region and population specific
So terrorists are afraid of terrorism?
Ordinary citizens see and know it, no need for experts
Ventilation must be at work in all buildings and clinicals.
With Trump in charge no need to go that far. He’s destroying America all alone by himself
Ya think? Next president better have a plan
Then why is Italy opening? Could you name names?
Whoever released covid-19 actually new this.. this was a biological attack but nobody speaks about it !!
You think that's a problem, our pacific strategy has some holes in the bucket too. SpaceForceWarEffort
I agree completely
We’re only vulnerable because we have an asshole in the White House.
Fair beginning. Imagination the kind of breaking Pulitzer-prize winning kind of story you could do once you start talking to independent virologists, microbiologists, etc. who don't have a conflict of interest & who challenge the findings in the Nature Medicine article. Now Go.
Im not much for conspiracies, but the virus is more deadly for minorities...js

Look, don't expect this Prez or his party 2 focus on anything except their political fortunes. If it doesn't directly spell reelection or power grab, it doesn't register in their pea brains. Forget about it.

And they turn a public health crisis into a national security issue... Next step is to include funding for national security in the next Corona bill. Maybe we can spin this into a war! And MORE military spending!!!
NBC AND MEDIA HELPED EXPOSED THEM FOR WHO THEY ARE LIBERAL HACKS
Oh no. Something more the lamestreet media wants to scare us about! As if someone outside the WH has a clue.
MediaResearchCenter theMRC The liberal media cheered former President Obama politicizing a virtual commencement address to launch a nasty partisan attack against President realDonaldTrump .
China ruining the world... open eye's now before it's too late
if there's thing I know, Trump is not the guy to look at when 'urgent government action' is required.
Another 9/11?
Bill Gates calls it “pandemic II” and many of us are well aware what you criminal sickos have in the cards.
This was a biological attack!!! This MAY, and I say this lightly, have been a naturally occurring virus, but it was tweaked in a lab at let loose of the population.
'The very worst-case characteristics of an intentional event are also being seen in this naturally occurring pandemic,' says Dr. Kadlec from U.S Department of Health and Human Services. Devastation seen on health care and economies may act as a 'neon light' for terrorist. (2/7)
Vote Blue The US needs leadership not an orange twitter troll.
The only way to take this one down would be to allow the USA Federal Reserve to bring down the Chinese economic system once and for all and put this lethal enemy back Into the Dark Ages
Finally, it’s been acknowledged!!
