Our CDC in happier times:
In the 1960s, a CDC branch dedicated to plague moved from San Francisco, California to Fort Collins when the majority of plague cases were occurring in New Mexico, Arizona, and Colorado. In 1989, Lyme disease was moved to the division. Today, the Fort Collins site is the only major CDC infectious disease laboratory outside of Atlanta, Georgia.
Some female members of our CDC lab were participating in the annual Tour De Fat dressed as mosquitoes. The above pictures were copied from a low resolution video I was taking at the 2009 tour.
