      >Reports out of the Irkutsk region of Russia reveal a potential public health crisis developing in the area, after a lab accident released a “particularly dangerous infection” to a researcher, who later passed away.

      >Twenty-eight-year-old Darya Shipilovia, a lab technician at the Irkutsk Anti-Plague Institute, died two days after she was hospitalized, following exposure to a “pneumonia of unknown etiology,” according to Rospotrebnadzor, a federal agency that oversees health and safety. The pathogen in question has been said to be the deadly but treatable pneumonic plague.

      >According to several outlets, hospitals are under quarantine, with the number of shutdowns ranging from three to five. Reports from independent news sources such as *The Moscow Times* say that nearly 200 workers have been placed under observation.

      For those unaware, this is different from the „Black Death“ type, which is bubonic plague. Pneumonic plague is spread via respiratory droplets.

      Pneumonic plague has a near 100% CFR (Case Fatality Rate), but is easily treated with antibiotics as long as it’s done so early. The R0 (r-naught) of the bacteria varies from various studies around 1.3 up to 3.5. This is an area of expertise of mine- Disaster Preparedness with a sub-specialty in Pandemics & Radiological Emergencies.

      Within one day, we’ve gone from general reports that someone died due to being infected with this pathogen, to multiple hospitals being quarantined. Nobody should panic or buy all the TP rolls, but it’s worth monitoring as there’s a LOT we don’t know, as official Russian News channels are denying anything is abnormally amiss.

      ***Edit:** As per multiple users, now it’s up to 6 hospitals. Worth watching.

      Well that’s just great! /s

      Russia had a program where they were trying to genetically produce a pathogen, it might have been Bubonic plague; but to make it induce euphoria in people.

      As typically sick people stay home if they feel bad, but if they feel good they tend to go out and socialize; thus spreading the pathogen.

      I don’t want to die just yet. I have some long-term things that need to get done.

      If its easily treatable, why did this woman die? Article didn’t mention life saving measures but 2 days is super fast.

      So why wasn’t this lab tech immediately started on any of the widely available antibiotics known to be efficacious? Within minutes of the test tube breaking she should have begun a regimen. You’d think labs working with deadly bacteria would stock antibiotics.

      If we aren’t already refusing entry to all Russians, now might be a good time to start.

      Six now.

      Quarantined and Affected Hospitals
      • City Clinical Hospital No. 1 (Irkutsk)
      • City Clinical Hospital No. 3 (Irkutsk)
      • City Clinical Hospital No. 10 (Irkutsk)
      • Ivano-Matreninskaya City Children’s Clinical Hospital (Irkutsk)
      • Shelekhov District Hospital (Shelekhov) – Where the initial patient was treated
      • A local maternity hospital is also reportedly affected.

      Anyone else retroactively mad at the dead person in question for breaking a tube of BIOHACKED PLAGUE and only telling people on their deathbed?

    14. YT_RandomGamer01 on

      Genuine question, was this something they had for legit research purposes or could this have been in preparation of a biological attack? Because I read Russia may have been planning an attack on nato or nato aligned countries, and I wouldn’t put it past them to use biowarfare. I mean Russia doesnt seem to mind committing war crimes. Please tell me I have my tinfoil on too tight

    16. spderweb on

      Shouldn’t Russia be immediately locked out of travel elsewhere? Like, this seems like a no brainer.

    19. save_the_bees_knees on

      Considering it’s Russia I doubt we’ll ever know the full story until it’s too late.

    20. xRolox on

      Why is it always these low trust rogue states that start this shit and try to hide it until it’s a bigger problem

    27. Intelligent_Slip_849 on

      Wait, it’s up to 5 hospitals now? It was just one researcher a few hours ago when I saw the story.

    35. IKillZombies4Cash on

      I’m just going to hope this is just a made up story that gives Putin a cover for ending the Ukraine war

      Buuuut I’m checking to see how many masks I have left

    36. ResidentAccurate2435 on

      Well it’s a good thing we have a trustworthy and competent government to lead and watch out for us here in the US.

      /s obviously

    38. PlayedUOonBaja on

      The first lady died 2 days after exposure. Fast acting illnesses like that don’t travel too well.

    39. maaseru on

      So I read this book called, Biological War: A Scenario, and this seems very strangely similar to the plot of that book that I think ended with the whole world basically dying.

    40. djinniofthelamp on

      For anyone who has read the book „Biological War“ by Annie Jacobson, this is the exact hypothetical that she lays out and things go poorly.

    41. ruehite on

      Donald Trump is a particular expert at this variation of the pathogen we should send him there he can cure it in 48 hours

    42. PTR95 on

      Hopefully things get better in November, that’s when Grand theft auto 6 comes out.

    43. Baconpwn2 on

      I’m not pressing the panic button until the quarantine lasts two weeks. The plague has a four to seven day incubation time. If the quarantine lasts longer than two weeks, we have human to human transference. That becomes a problem.

      But I would ban travel to and from Russia or Mongolia. (Accident site is close enough to Mongolia that you could readily travel there.)

    44. Puzzleheaded-Pass-64 on

      I’m not worried. RFK Jr is in charge of the US Health system. What could go wrong?

    46. Arik_De_Frasia on

      Just read another comment that says it’s being widely reported as pneumonic plague, which is highly treatable

    47. pretzelcuatl on

      Well that’s fucking great, considering that’s exactly where Annie Jacobson’s devastating new book „Biological War“ begins.

    48. Pretty_Mix_1355 on

      Damn the very scary book Biological War begins almost exactly this way. Spoiler alert — it doesn’t end well.
