| Pandemic Alert: Stage 6 | Subcribe via RSS

Welcome

In 2001 a privately funded medical research team studying an emerging virus in Uganda was murdered by the very people they had sought to help. The team's final radio transmissions pointed to a viral-induced psychosis that consumed the carrier within 72 hours of the start of peak virus shedding. Researchers embedded with rescue teams were able to retrieve the advance team's initial findings and remove samples for study from the victims and that work has continued since.

While research is still ongoing, we are taking the unprecedented, and admittedly unconventional, step of notifying the general public about the significant threat posed by our findings. We seek to raise awareness and encourage preparedness for a human-engineered pandemic which may be unavoidable.

Lab Update

Security: Beyond BSL-4

July 7th, 2010 | No Comments | Posted in News by Abby Papanai

Maintaining lab security is our highest priority. The facility has always operated at BSL-4 but recent events revealed weaknesses that we are moving quickly to address. We can assure you that these enhanced security protocols will ensure that our research into the Z1 virus occurs in the most secure facility, of any kind, on the planet.

Many of these new security protocols can not be discussed without introducing new vulnerabilities in to the system but we can reveal some of the changes:

1. All travel for lab personnel has been suspended for two years. This unprecedented move was absolutely required to ensure that there are zero contact points between those who work with the Z1 virus and the rest of the world. Current staff have voluntarily committed to a minimum two year working agreement. During this time they will not be permitted to leave the facility for any reason. KRF Group will review this restriction in July of 2012.

2. KRF Group HQ personnel will lead any public safety or research coordination between officials outside of the lab. Contact points and additional details will be available before the end of July as this effort ramps up.

Please remember that your participation in this effort is vital. Raise awareness, prepare your families, and join the discussion. Our team is 100% committed to stopping this virus but you each have ultimate responsibility for your survival.
