Emergency quarantine protocols are in place in Irkutsk after a suspected laboratory accident
Russian health authorities have reportedly placed hundreds of people in quarantine in Siberia following the death of a laboratory worker who was exposed to an “unknown” virus.
The 28-year-old victim was an employee at the Anti-Plague Research Institute in Shelekhov, a town near the regional capital of Irkutsk, according to reports.
Prior to her death, she reportedly told medical personnel that she had accidentally broken a test tube containing live biological samples while working inside the facility.
We have dozens of ongoing pandemics. We haven’t had a new and notable pandemic in 6.5 years. Just the same flus and colds and uhhh measles? And whooping cough and-
Those are all endemic at this point.
Pandemic is characterized by fast, unpredictable spread across many international regions.
Hey, bud, what do you think that makes Covid?
Hey, bud.
I’d say that makes it endemic. It has been for a couple of years now.
