Four samples have yet to be tested all will then be destroyed, Frieden said.ĬDC's actions follow an incident last month in which up to 75 CDC workers were potentially exposed to anthrax when samples thought to be dead proved to be live. Some smallpox experts had predicted that the 1950s-era samples would no longer be viable. "I'm disappointed by what happened and frankly I'm angry about it," he added.įrieden also revealed that two of six vials of smallpox discovered last week in a cold storage room in a Food and Drug Administration lab at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in Bethesda, Maryland, have tested positive for live virus when grown in culture. He announced several actions that CDC is taking to step up safety and security, including a moratorium on shipping highly risky pathogens. The two cases involving CDC mistakes reveal "totally unacceptable behavior" by staff, said CDC chief Thomas Frieden at a press conference today at CDC headquarters in Atlanta. The cases include an accidental shipment of live anthrax the discovery of forgotten, live smallpox samples and a newly revealed incident in which a dangerous influenza strain was accidentally shipped from CDC to another lab. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has closed two labs and halted some biological shipments in the wake of several recent incidents in which highly pathogenic microbes were mishandled by federal laboratories. It felt and, in the non-literal, yes-I-know-it’s-running-in-4K sense, looked like an Xbox 360 game.The U.S. But that’s not to say it can’t or won’t be a fun experience. I played the first half an hour or so, and there’s nothing here that the Xbox faithful are likely to be boastfully thrusting into the faces of their Sony-fan friends. It’s aiming to be goofy and over-the-top (“We are making Sharknado,” Staten told me with a laugh), but how long the story can remain interesting is probably directly proportional to the amount of screen time the irresistibly charming Terry Crews gets. Staten suggested as much, telling me, “Already, even now, the work that Crackdown has done is work that’s being picked up by other studios and they’re making their own experiments and figuring out what they want to do with it.” As for the single-player campaign, I admit I didn’t get a chance to play much of it. But perhaps other first-party Xbox studios will come up with compelling uses for the tech down the road. It didn’t add anything to the experience. Yes, you can smash up the place, but buildings break apart like they’re made of cardboard or styrofoam. That’s all well and good, but my main issue after playing it was that Crackdown 3 doesn’t deliver any weight or impact behind its destruction. “Right now to run one match of Wrecking Zone it’s the equivalent of 12 Xbox Ones,” Staten said. “The hook, of course, is supposed to be that cloud-powered map destruction. But that moment-to-moment combat is rather standard fare: attacks are lock-on-based, so you don’t want to LT over your target until you know you can get clean shots off, otherwise the target-painting lock-on line will alert your foe to the fact that you’ve got them teed up. Success found me once I figured out I should collect the orange orbs scattered about the arena in order to power up my Overdrive ability before heading into battle. After an hour of multiplayer spent entirely on one of the three included maps – this one peppered with tall buildings and emphasizing the environmental destruction – my best answer is “kinda.” It’s very no-frills in just about every regard – neither great nor bad.
“In the very beginning it was, ‘What can we do with cloud compute that’s fun?’” It’s an interesting backstory on Crackdown’s revival, but the litmus test was whether or not it helps make Crackdown 3 fun.
“In fact, the Terry Crews-ified single-player campaign (which can also be played in two-player co-op) “wasn’t the original plan,” Staten said.
