So it seems the College of American Pathologists made a little oopsie and sent vials of 1957-58 pandemic flu strain (that killed as many as 4 million people back then) to at least 3747 labs in 18 countries. Thank goodness, once again, for Canada, which discovered the disastrous mistake and alerted WHO. As many of these vials were sent out as long ago as last October, one can't help but wonder how much of the strain might have escaped in the ensuing months. Oh, and it's probably not a good idea to outsource your quality control and shipping.
