Brother Jon - I think you will find the following link both interesting and instructive. I would read the whole thing but, pay particular attention to the "Discussion" section at the end. A total of 7 Wuhan lab techs were trained - 4 in Lyon, France, 2 in Galveston, Texas, USA, and 1 in Austrailia. This article can be found on both the NIH & the CDC websites. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6478205/

Brother John - I appreciate the article. I already wrote one very similar to it in March of 2020, in the middle of the pandemic crisis, called "The BioLabs in Our Backyard" for a local Comal County paper because Texas has THREE, yes, THREE BSL4 labs - Galveston National, Robert Shope lab in the John Sealy Pavillion (also Galveston) and Texas BioMed in San Antonio. The reason San Antonio was chosen to quarantine cruise ship victims is because it was the only city in Texas with two things in close proximity - 1. A BSL4 lab with a primate research center on the grounds and 2. An Air Force Base. I believe I was also the first to break the news that two of the Wuhan Lab technicians were trained at Galveston National Laboratory in an exchange program with the Chinese Institute of Virology and those trainees went back to Wuhan to become trainers of other Wuhan lab workers.
