      I think Americans are just reviewing 90s and 2000s disaster movies and using them as a guide.

    Here’s a thought, let’s not infect monkeys with COVID and herpes, eh?

      a fun fact to know, that monkeys carry a type of herpes, called herpes B virus, which is related to HSV1&2, while herpes is usually a benign infection in the monkeys, the HERPES B virus is quite deadly to humans if they infected by it, because its a zoonotic virus, and humans dont have similar virus to it, much like with avian flu virus.

    The article doesn’t say whether these are two separate groups of monkeys, some infected with COVID and some infected with Herpes, or a cohesive set of monkeys simultaneously infected with COVID and Herpes.
