Measles cases are over 1,000 in Pennsylvania. US hospitals and health systems that haven't seen this disease in decades now have to consider what happens when a suspected measles patient walks through the door. www.wired.com/story/measle...

Yea that is a good summary. It might is missing this source, which I think is helpful as it includes several first hand interviews with people directly associated (hospital workers, classmates) - one of which is skeptical of the "glass test tube" story www.currenttime.tv/amp/pnevmoni...

The mysterious death of a scientist at a plague institute in Siberia has sparked “next pandemic” panic. I wrote about what we know, what we don’t, why plague is not the Black Death in 2026 and the real outbreaks we ignore while worrying about hypothetical ones. bktitanji.substack.com/p/plague-is-...

Just a friendly reminder that plague is prevalent, including in the western United States (see, prairie dogs), with multiple cases annually. It is also highly treatable and, yes, lab acquired infections (incl. fatal cases) have happened over the years, including e.g., UChicago.

Lab-acquired infections happen. Only a small percent ever become public information, in part because they never need to. The plague thing is interesting and unfortunate, and also the pandemic risk of wild type Yersinia pestis in 2026 is indistinguishable from zero. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

Although the narrative is shifting to highlight the "increasing share of deaths" attributable to non-communicable diseases, note that "despite the global decline, 7 of the top 10 causes of death in 2023 in low-income countries were communicable diseases". www.who.int/news-room/fa...
