Russian authorities are responding to an incident in which a dangerous infection was released as a result of a laboratory accident in Siberia and a researcher died.
The incident occurred at the Anti-Plague Research Institute in Shelekhov, near Irkutsk […] a “suspected case of a particularly dangerous infection affecting a resident of the region,”
Yeah, that’s not alarming at all …
an aluminum plant near the laboratory instructed staff to wear masks as a precautionary measure. […] nearly 200 people were placed under observation at the hospital in Shelekhov […] Quarantine has also been imposed in at least one of the city’s maternity hospitals […] "even if [plague is] confirmed, there will be no spread of this disease,”
If this spreads and lockdowns and mask mandates come back, an entire portion of the US population will go actually, literally insane.
The Sun (which sucks, but often gets facts right underneath all the slanted coverage and yellow journalism) said
She was said to have become ill after breaking a test tube at Irkutsk Anti-Plague Research Institute where she worked earlier this week.
They’re already saying the quarantine there is to last for three weeks.
Despite there not being any other known current infections, Wikipedia’s entry for the town of Shelekov now has a subsection for “2026 epidemic”.
Guess I’ll be poking at This Week In Virology again for a while …

They could replace them with “Trump.”
Yes it makes no sense but it will once the Plague takes out 80% of the MAGA antimask antivaxxers.
And he’d love it. As long as you use gold letters
Put Trump’s name on it.
– which also happened in Wuhan during the initial outbreak
Wuhan also had the countries largest wet markets where wild animals are gathered from hundreds of square kilometers and placed in cages to shit and piss on top of each other. This is where SARs/COV1 was proven to originate, and the reason why Wuhan had a research facility in the first place.
The rest is all Facebook/MAGA bullshit. China’s fault lied in not regulating wet markets, which they still don’t do, so the next SARs/COV will again come from China.

Unknown vs known. She died fast. Other places report no new cases. People in Irkutsk say they lifted the quarantine. More to be investigated and need close look. As for now the situation is fine

Trump isn’t putting any mask mandate into place even if the rest of the world did it. The government wont test for it like it should be because then there is no way of knowing how rampant the lies is spreading.
while you are quoting,
“No micro-organisms associated with the employee’s professional duties were detected in samples taken from the patient,”
And, the plague was not caused by a virus.
Well that seems less than ideal
It is unclear exactly what was released, according to the state agency that handles infectious disease, Rospotrebnadzor. One person – a laboratory worker – is said to have died in the incident after being diagnosed with a pneumonia of “unknown” origin.
The worst kind, airborne.
Someone get AI on the case, stat!
Ok. The 2026 pandemic has been deleted from the timeline.
🌟🎉
The Andromeda Strain.
A 2003 publication by the Infectious Diseases Society of America noted that The Andromeda Strain is the “most significant, scientifically accurate, and prototypic of all films of this [killer virus] genre … it accurately details the appearance of a deadly agent, its impact, and the efforts at containing it, and, finally, the work-up on its identification and clarification on why certain persons are immune to it.”

Oh no, not again.
Every time Trump gets elected, there’s a plague.
This is a great time to watch Survivors (1975):
It concerns the plight of a group of people who have survived an apocalyptic plague pandemic, which was accidentally released by a Chinese scientist and quickly spread across the world via air travel. Referred to as “The Death”, the plague kills approximately 4,999 out of every 5,000 human beings on the planet within a matter of weeks of being released.

The person died of pneumonia. There is zero evidence she got infected in the facility. People die of pneumonia every day.
“No micro-organisms associated with the employee’s professional duties were detected in samples taken from the patient,”
I case you comment without actually reading the article.
It was plague
