Most disturbing was the following sentence:

"On March 26, National Microbial Laboratory Canada detected the 1957
pandemic 
strain in a sample not connected with the test kit."

This seems to imply that the virus had already contaminated other samples in
their lab, i.e. it was no longer contained to the vial in the test kit.

It is also disquieting that the WHO would not name the other countries whose
labs had received the sample.
