Media are talking about this as though this is the first time pneumonic plague has reared its ugly head since the dark ages. That&#39;s rubbish. Dig a little deeper. <br><br>Consider this, from the WHO, reacting to an unusually severe outbreak of it in Madagascar in 2017: <br>&quot;From 1 August through 10 November 2017, 1618 (76%) cases and 72 deaths have been clinically classified as pneumonic plague, including 365 (23%) confirmed, 573 (35%) probable and 680 (42%) suspected cases. In addition to the pneumonic cases, 324 (15%) cases of bubonic plague, one case of septicaemic plague, and 176 unspecified cases (8%), have been reported to WHO (Figure 1). Eighty-two healthcare workers have had illness compatible with plague, none of whom have died.&quot; <br><br>It was found in port cities, and the world didn&#39;t leap to hysteria. The media loves a scary story that produces clicks, and is also motivated by politics (anti-Russia, and to some extent, except when concerning Israel and Iran, anti-Trump). Is this something different? A single possible case in Siberia, in an area where the disease spreads naturally among local wildlife and is studied by this not-at-all secret lab. Plague was devastating prior to the advent of antibiotics, but since then, it has been around, primarily in places of terrible poverty, and antibiotics (if given in time) successfully treats it.

This is very concerning. You don&#39;t physically escort 200 people to isolation unless this is a deadly illness. The Russian lab could sequence the virus or bacteria immediately and know exactly what it is. They know exactly what this is and it&#39;s very bad. They are trying to hide how serious this situation is.

Cases of so-called ‘American Covid’ are on the rise in the UK.
<br>The strain is officially called XFG, or ‘Stratus’, and is the most common variant in North America, hence the name.
<br>It might soon need to be renamed, then, given that it now accounts for more than half of positive tests in the UK, too, according to new figures.

Plague as a cause of pneumonia would be the <i>best case scenario</i> here. I honestly doubt it was, though, because pneumonic plague (as opposed to bubonic) is very contagious, the fact that her 200+ contacts have <i>not</i> exhibited symptoms is reassuring. Another possibility is that it was something more nefarious, related to ongoing bioweapon research involving aerosolized hantavirus, as it can lead to ARDS in just 2-4 days. Hantavirus is not easily spread from person to person.
