The silver lining to the horror story is that traditional pneumonic plague is inefficient at spreading - it kills its host far too quickly. However, given the international consensus that Russia has an active bioweapons programme, it would be presumptious to rule out a novel, weaponised strain.

BREAKING: White House “monitoring” a suspected outbreak of the plague in Russia. Five hospitals are reportedly under compulsory quarantine. Russian media reported an accident at a state biolab, which killed a lab worker. Pneumonic plague has a fatality rate of 100% unless treated within 24 hours.

Comment from me: Of course, these are all lies.Russia carries the blame entirely for starting the war of aggression in 2014 and then launching a full-scale invasion in 2022. Putin wants to present the war as an existential event when it was, in fact, his conscious and unprovoked choice.
