MWV Episode 68 - Threading the NEIDL: TWiV Goes Inside a BSL-4

[@hoteny]

Finally, a long ass video instead of those 1 minute showcases with 15 seconds of advertisment with no talkings

[@SaumyadipSarkar]

God knows how many times I watch this episode but each time I enjoy it. :) Doesn't matter how long this episode is.

[@arcticablue]

I salivate when I see videos like this! I so want to hurry up and get my schooling done and do great things!

[@Zman44444]

Absolutely fascinating. Genuinely a wonderful video. Thank you for the upload!

[@galecreek]

Fascinating. Especially because I have watched this team for over two years. A little younger, and tanned. What a great addition to what I have learned. You captured a great opportunity to view a level 4 lab before it was in use. I am glad KZbin recommended it to me!!

[@sauntgrodsmachine104]

It is strange to watch infectious disease experts meet in public without masks and shake hands while I sit here in front of my computer in 2021 awaiting the end of another lockdown.

[@peterrezba995]

Exactly tell the Biden administration to wear their cloth masks in a virus lab whether it's in the lab or outside the lab makes no difference cloth/surgical masks do nothing it's like having 3 ply toilet paper on your face You need to be wearing Sperian BSL 4-2 Positive Pressure Suit.

[@johndevlin]

Prof. Racaniello made a good point about nose scratching--a problem for astronauts since the early days of space travel. Apparently they'll use either the microphone inside the helmet or stick little patches of velcro to the inside of the visor. The virology community should take note!

[@curtisleelowery]

There should be a better way to inspect the bio-hazard suits rather than just a visual/auditory inspection. Filling the suit with a colored gas/smoke would make the process more reliable. If colored gas escapes, there is a leak.

[@bradleyglen6283]

I would guess using a known gas module to release and then go over the suit _ perhaps in an additional enclosure to monitor for the given gas - this way it can be monitord and real time logged .

[@myaccount9745]

just fill it with fluorine and do a smell test

[@fartpluswetone8077]

Deflation should be another cue, judging by the suits being positive pressure. Issue is, the exhalation valve needs to be shut.

[@aayotechnology]

Exactly. Why not a pressure gauge at least?

[@abramcadabros1755]

This is the best way to study for your biosafety classes! Thank you, Professor!

[@mumia76]

I notice that the same person who guards the front foot entrance opens the back vehicle gate too. I hope the security staff won't consist of 1 person when the facility is operational.

[@ckyownz9]

it probably will for cost reduction

[@Zman44444]

I would imagine it was a security staffer that was told “hey, you’re on camera today, show them the security features.” There’s no way an embassy grade facility only has ONE guard. I would imagine 4/5 people guard the place.

[@pantomouth]

I Have no idea why this was in my feed but I think this is all every informative for a layman on biological containment such as myself, it's a world I'm not familiar with never the less a cool one. I Am sure they all go through extensive safety training.

[@PauloSantanaPlus]

The guy in pink shirt is so happy to be there lol i love it. What a great doc! It solved a lot of questions for me. Thank you so much for it

[@serkankurtulmus]

As a food engineer, I heard very important information. I am familiar with most of them, but it is exciting to see engineering practices in a laboratory of this level and hear from experts.

[@blackwaterhousecork5182]

Having once walked into a BSL 4 lab unsuited in response to an Intruder Alarm Call, I can tell you Security Knows Precisely What It Is Doing.

[@anthonyjones2167]

Wow. Sounds like there's a story there. Care to elaborate?

[@blackwaterhousecork5182]

Supposedly the facility was empty of personnel. And Alarm in the inner most core of the building came on the Alarm Board. I was the assigned Officer at that time. The Printed Protocol required the assigned Officer to enter directly into the facility without adhering to the usual dress protocols. Thus it was that I, armed with nothing but the access codes went in. Once inside, I was walking down a corridor when a fully suited figure walked around the corner ahead of Me. I knew instantly that one of Us shouldn't Be There.

[@jasoncarswell7458]

"Hi Doc! Whatcha workin' with today? Doc: "Hantavirus." "Damn. Wrelp, I'll be in the chemical shower for the next 3 hours or so, praying. Tell the CDC that's where they can bring the bubble stretcher."

Bill Gates is the villian. Him or his friends made a cheaper version of this in Wuhan, China. Still people talk about conspiracy but dont question simple things like bad ethics and accuracy levels in China. Such lab can be handled by Japan and I would say, even my country will have problems in handling such facility. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fYe0hK2Ji9VogNE

[@drcerverap]

excelente recorrido de una instalación BSL - 2 a 4 , me queda la inquietud de como controlan las diferenciales de presión entre áreas

[@aknature1575]

Todo el aire dentro del edificio BSL-4 está presurizado hacia BSL-4, de esa manera ningún patógeno puede ingresar a ambientes menos seguros. Luego, el aire pasa a través de una serie de filtros físicos y químicos que garantizan que solo entre aire limpio a la atmósfera.

[@luismatheu4226]

minute 48:09 onthe floor by the tank lader show wet floor , some kind of leak?

[@TommyD903]

What was the thing that needed to be removed from the suit so that you could move your arms ?

[@AquaticSCP]

[@ghettovin100]

[@luismatheu4226]

nice how doyou clean the inside of the suit? imagin some one is sick but not showin sings yet, uses a suit and sheds inside some virus or bacteria. how is the inside of suit sterilized

[@jorgis123]

So, how do they dispose the animals that they tested on?

[@MrxstGrssmnstMttckstPhlNelThot]

Just from the very start it's already better than the video which was on the blog quite a while ago also titled: Threading the NEIDL. Yes, much better.

Those gas-tight shiny blue PVC Suits are a thing of true beauty! The creaking squeaky heavy-duty shiny PVC is heavenly! ...... I'd REALLY enjoy being hermetically sealed inside one of those shiny PVC bad boys! ...... I love wearing PVC! 👍😜

[@frankhenry587]

I realize the logistics of putting these labs in the middle of the desert with a nuclear sterilization protocol is a nightmare but it still makes one wonder Also....how do the technicians take breaks/eat lunch/ take relief breaks thru the day without taking the suits off?

[@MarS-we1mw]

Very informative 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 thank you all d professors 🤝🏻

[@jonosterman2878]

2:15 Egg heads sizing each other up. And yes, they are all thinking "dude in the shorts and pink shirt is the light weight here"

[@MrThePwnisher]

I hope that someone can answer this question, but isn't there some kind of potential for contamination on the connections made for the air hoses?

Rodrigo I thought the same thing. They look like normal pneumatic quick-connects. But I think it’s okay as long as they’re not dealing with airborne pathogens.

[@Terabit3]

Josh0811 They have a HEPA filter between the suit and the inlet valve to the suit so any pathogens that may get into the hose are filtered out before entering the suit

[@allmywhat]

It would be great to work in one of these labs

[@Live.Vibe.Lasers]

what happens if someone flies an airliner into it? just asking.

[@luismatheu4226]

super cool, thanks for sharing .

[@IceCreamMT]

what is one difference between airflow of BSL3 and BSL4?

[@Derkiboi]

Bsl 4 means are negative pressure suits required I think

[@eddygonzalez6018]

It's a negative pressure room. The suit is positive pressure. Bsl3 does not require a positive pressure suit and the exiting protocol. Exiting protocol might be slightly different from lab to lab. It's a very unique experience. During allergy season when people are itching or sneezing, if you have allergies you can't work at Bsl4. All virology labs are negative pressured even if Bsl2. Although hoods are the same. TB is an example of a non viral Bsl3.

just had a big conversation about this given the WIV news and came to the conclusion the best way to sterilize would be to introduce ethylene oxide into the air intake. would still need boots on the ground to sterilize sealed containers and cryo storage.

[@engchoontan8483]

Weather-atmospheric containment necessitates dead-air regions of various terrain-country land-features. Which, is also a huge vulnerability. Bangkok have dead-air, WuHan china, ... France, Germany, America, ... cloud positions, size, shapes, over a year... those places are usually not-targetted due to whatever is released will be collected back to those places by earth's-sphere centrifugal-forces, weather-patterns, ... seasons, ... secondary-location laboratories and not class-of laboratories are often very dangerous to have... route back to base... evil people have bad endings being the usual.

[@engchoontan8483]

You have had many explosions in recent months due to copying of formulations without cleaning your exhaust ducting.? Cross pollution from things you look-down on.?

[@engchoontan8483]

Vacuum suction by exhaust ducting explosion... intake-inlet are all directional-valve pressure-controlled high-tech... ??? Understand theories-concepts before copying the work of others... don't do immediate-reaction bullshit...

[@engchoontan8483]

Many of your kinds are on the walking-streets due to them being unable to accept shelters because they participate in abusing people using deliberate pollution and poison. Some are the "blair" of wastelands and ghettos, some are feeling the spritual burns of "魔鬼人ghosts", rejecting contact with ground (like spitritual guardian-angels burning upon contact with the ground). This is the price your predecessors paid for insolence against humanity. So much for being educated. Ending = pssychopaths to torturers (distract your own internal torments) to tortured to half-dead to comatose-dead to dead... it is often your kinds on the operating-tables of your project-places...

[@engchoontan8483]

Beware of your contribution to your countries versus costs. You are covert, you are chemical-biological, you are not to tell. You can disappear when the accounts are out. Trillions of funding for no-significant benefit. "Blair"-downward-spiral. Containment of stubborn toxic losers in a small place is, they "blair" and kill their own cronies (self sustaining attrition by Kamma) and unwittingly reduce the blackhole-effect of toxic-policies, toxic-mentalities, toxic-artitudes and behaviours... ooliticians and billionaires are not smart enough for intelligient to want to listen to them. Their jealousy and hatred led them to have self-destructive policies and approaches resulting in your kinds of laboratories. I depend on a society's toxicity for self-implosion and keep the non-toxic grounded by plus-one to neutral to minus-one lifestyle-choices compared with the much more stupid and much more hated toxics of immoral ill-breds parenting. Your countries will be silencing you due to their lack of ability to sustain their largeese and most of you can disappear. Biological-chemical agents manufacturing, shiping, employing, ... consequences and collateral-damages, ... stupids suuport stupids, stupids prove their types are stupid. Don't even dare think you are smart because you chose this path of most uncomfortable work.

[@stevemacbr]

At around 05:00 the 'virologist' discusses the AIR HANDLING (exhaust vents),.. and only mentions the H.E.P.A. filters - he glanes over the FACT (and it appears to be CUT OFF in the video ) that these - quantity not disclosed - nor volume of air released per minute/hour - are, or were primarily designed for CLEAN ROOM aplications - being HIGH EFFICENCY PARTICULATE AIR filter with a 99.7% efficiency - dependent on maintaining constant designed/calculated AIR-FLOW across the total filter area. (that's a 0.3% FAILURE rate) ... and with a weave size of 0.3MICRONS.or 300nano-meters - - bacteria are generally in the range of 0.3-5 microns - 300-500nano-meters and viruses, the smallest particles, range in size from 0.004-0.1 microns, or, 4nano-meters to 100nano-meters. ( THAT'S BETWEEN x3 & x75 TIMES SMALLER THAN THE 'FILTER WEAVE' - with a theoretical 'calculated browian motion' causing 'diffusion' - bumping into each other - to ARREST these much smaller viral genes ) . Yet,... evenif they worked to PERFECTION ,... he doesn't state how, and the frequency by which they are changed. - and that's just the air circulation in a populated area. . Remeber the Chemists Creed - " The solution to POLLUTION is DILUTION",... and that's why the VENTS are so high up & there's an 'embassy distance' barrier around th facility,... HOPEFULLY,... with he upward wind in the right direction,... most viruse cells/RNA will be taken up into the atmosphere,... unless it rains. LOL .

What stops someone in the lab from putting a deadly sample in a vial, taping the vial to the outside of the pressure suit, going out of the lab, doing decontamination, then undoing the tape holding the vial to the suit, and basically walking out of the lab with the vial? Seems like we just have to trust the people working in the lab that they won't do something like that.
