A monkey attacked a lab technician on the campus of a medical school in India and ran away with blood samples from three patients infected with COVID-19.
The robbed lab technician, meanwhile, took video with his phone of the incident. After snatching the samples and other medical items, the video reveals, the monkey clambered up a nearby tree; that video, which was shared on social media, also shows the animal gnawing on what look like surgical gloves, Indian news outlet NDTV reported.

Further evidence that we're living the plot line from a crappy 1990's Sci Fi movie...

Maybe, just maybe it is time for the world to take away these third world crapholes' access to things that require first world practices and responsibility, like serious medical research samples and tools, before the next global incident happens thanks to their incompetence?

Perhaps this monkey knows an infinite number of other monkeys who can work together to crank out a vaccine.
Probably the best route I've heard of to date.
Police in eastern India are working with a tribe that specializes in tracking and catching monkeys after one of the rambunctious primates common in the region snatched a baby from right in front of its mother. The infant was found by a relative dead in a well at the back of the family's home in the state of Orissa the following day, according to CBS News partner network BBC News.
Monkeys often enter and ransack homes in Orissa and other parts of India, usually looking for food. They aren't shy creatures and are well known petty thieves. They have been known to attack humans, but a police official told the BBC that the Saturday incident was believed to be the first of its kind in India -- though at least one other infant has died after being snatched by a monkey in Malaysia.
