There is some serious monkey business going on in India. According to Reuters, a number of monkeys absconded with blood samples of COVID-19-positive patients on the campus of a state-run medical college in the city of Meerut, located in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh. A lab technician had been walking on the campus with the samples when the monkeys attacked. Monkeys have been seen more often in urban areas in India due to the destruction of their natural habitat, Reuters said.
“Monkeys grabbed and fled with the blood samples of four COVID-19 patients who are undergoing treatment ... we had to take their blood samples again,” Dr S. K. Garg, an official with the college, told Reuters. Garg added that it was unclear if the monkeys could contract the virus or if they came into contact with the infected blood. "
Personally (and I am not a conspiracy theorist by any means), I think there is something hinky going on here!
