Arrr, when the government scallywags cut off the funds to EcoHealth Alliance, the plan for a bat lab in the New World be sunk faster than a ship with a leaky hull! They wanted to study those winged critters for diseases, but now it be all but a dream in Davy Jones' locker. Aye, what a pity!
EcoHealth was workin' with Colorado State University on a lab up in Fort Collins, north of Denver, grabbin' millions of doubloons in federal grant money to start a bat colony for studying them diseases that jump from animals to humans. They were supposed to be findin' the bats that would be used in...
But now, it looks like that plan be walkin' the plank, thrown to Davy Jones' locker with the shuttin' off of funds. No more bat lab, no more studying of zoonotic diseases. It's a sad day for us scallywags who were hopin' to learn more about them critters that can make us sick.
