CDC Lab monkeys escape during traffic accident.

According to the update during Tucker's show tonight, people who came close to the varmints were told to be alert for experiencing "cold symptoms."

Why weren't the monkeys wearing masks?

This was 100 Monkeys!

Reports have been a bit muddled as to the number being transported vs. the number that escaped.

Yeah, that was my first thought. The "Planet of the Apes" and "12 Monkeys" stuff never even occurred to me.

Me, neither.

All I thought was, "great! Another reason for people to isolate and mask up and take vaccines for the rest our lives!".

My first thought was: if they're this careless about this DURING a pandemic, imagine how careless they were prior to the pandemic.

C'monman!

Pandemic + Monkeys = 12 Monkeys

Now it's the BRASS monkeys that are in trouble.

It's currently between -10 (AccuWeather) and -15 (WeatherBug, using a data collection station a few hundred yards from me).
