Pneumonic Plague Outbreak at Russian Anti-Plague Institute
A lab accident at the Irkutsk Anti-Plague Institute in Siberia reportedly led to the death of a 28-year-old worker and the quarantine of 200 contacts due to pneumonic plague. While Russian officials claim the situation is under control, international health authorities and the WHO are monitoring for potential bioweapon implications. CNN and other outlets have raised red flags regarding Russia's transparency and the deadly nature of the pathogen, which is the same bacterium responsible for the Black Death.
