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.

      Tankies love authoritarians that pretend to have a left-wing economy. They’re not really left-wing.

        Yet it’s literally only used to attack people on the left of Reagan. Person who started this thread will literally call people who want healthcare better than Romneycare in America tankies for wanting improvements more than ACA.

        Hell we’re honest at the point Reagan could be running and would get called a tankie that’s how little it means these days

        $5 says they call me one soon while ignoring everything else.

          It’s really not.

          Almost the entirety of lemmy is left of Reagan. It honestly hilarious you’re making this argument here…are you new to this site?

          Tankies are a small minority of angry little authoritarian boot lickers that pretend Stalin did nothing wrong, while condemning the west for some of the exact same actions.

          The label has nothing to do with their economic positions and everything to do with the delusional alt history dictator public fellating they do.

            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
