Some people may want to read up about it.
200 have died in Russia so far?

I have seen 2 articles in Daily Mail. Not much elsewhere so far.

It is very worrying David49 especially as we are not being told the full facts.

Daily Mail, not the most trustworthy of newspapers.

News is on several outlets.
What is not trustworthy is the news coming out of Russia.

I think in fairness the world press were made aware of the researcher’s death and the quarantine arrangements quickly, and plague deaths do still happen, as per the report from CNN I copied.
