        Just in case you’ve been sleeping too well lately: https://www.popularmechanics.com/science/a74033610/russia-plague-lab-worker-dies

        In the 20th century, biological warfare researchers learned how to make the plague much more deadly through genetic engineering.

          Together, with social engineering even more insidious and addicting, they’ll have a drastically diminished and ground down populace incapable of mounting an effective rebellion —just in time for them to clinch the automation of their wealth without us. It’s guns be a blast.☝🏼

        The report said 189 people were being monitored following the illness of an employee at an anti-plague research institute in Irkutsk. Alexei Tsydenov, head of the nearby Republic of Buryatia, said the woman had died from an unspecified form of plague.

              Yes, but Russia hasn’t admitted that yet.

        We could, and would, quickly run out of antibiotics in the case of exponential spread.

          will

          No one’s stepping up to staunch this, and I’ve played way too much Pandemic to not see the crayon on the WH wall.

        If it’s just a plague, no. If it was weaponized, possibly. But that’s unlikely.

          A woman died and her colleagues are being quarantined from their family in a building. Usually it’s not a problem, but apparently in russia, it is.
