Global health officials continue to press Moscow for full transparency
The World Health Organisation (WHO) is investigating reports of a second possible pneumonic plague case in Siberia after the death of a laboratory worker who was allegedly exposed to the illness.
Global health officials are pushing Moscow for transparency following the death of 28-year-old laboratory technician Darya Shipilova at the Irkutsk Anti-Plague Research Institute in Shelekhov.
Shipilova was admitted to hospital late last month with acute respiratory failure and placed on a ventilator before passing away on 2 October.
Local media reported that she was exposed to a dangerous pathogen after accidentally shattering a sample tube during routine laboratory work.
If only that were true, and I’m literally describing experience on lemmy and piefed.
The label has been absolutely abused to not mean that at all anymore which is my entire point
Not sure where you hang out, but my experience is the exact opposite.
