Since this piece of misinformation about the monkeys has already caused damage: the monkeys are/were not infected. The truck driver told the authorities this info (which was false)

Wasn’t there a movie about this, like 20 years ago.

Not that. I think it was called Patient Zero? Or Outbreak? Or Epidemic. They were trying to find this monkey that made them quarantine this whole town. And then some kid was friends with the monkey, which added an ET rip aspect. And there’s like some big helicopter chase through the mountains. The kind of movie you watch on basic cable late at night when you’re half asleep.

This literally didn’t happen. You are part of the problem.

There was a truck full of hostile monkeys infected with hepatitis, herpes, and covid that crashed and they all got loose. Happened yesterday or so. Some may still be on the loose.

Unfortunately they were not infected with anything. The local sheriff just made that bit up.
The facility does house infected monkeys, but these had not yet been infected and were being relocated to a different facility

Except there literally wasn’t. It was fake news.

I thought the police shot them all except one?

I side bet infected lab monkeys every time, just in case. Like playing 0 on the roulette table.

The College: Hey! For one, our infected monkeys aren’t contagious, and TWO, that monkey wasn’t one of the infected ones anyway!
Sheriff: Da fuq y’all got going on over there.
