00:00Before watching the video, please remember that trending websites offer more content.
00:30It was originally an institution that specialized in researching high-risk pathogens such as plague.
00:34Then the authorities immediately traced the people he had been in contact with.
00:37Nearly 200 people were quarantined or under medical monitoring.
00:41There were also reports that five hospitals in the area had been designated as quarantine zones.
00:45Even the White House and the State Department have stated that they are closely monitoring this matter.
00:50Relevant situation
00:51Trump also indicated his willingness to provide assistance.
00:54Why would one person's death alarm so many people?
00:58The key lies in the three words "abolishing plague".
01:02However, the official Russian explanation only makes things more confusing.
01:06The first to speak was Zij, the leader of the neighboring Republic of Buryatia.
01:10Nov
01:11He posted on social media that the woman may have died of the plague.
01:15However, the Russian Federal Service for Supervision of Consumer Rights Protection and Human Welfare
01:19In other words, Russia's epidemic prevention authorities quickly provided another...
01:23Version
01:24He died of pneumonia of unknown cause.
01:27It was also emphasized that no incidents involving pathogens occurred at the institute.
01:32Samples collected from the deceased
01:34No microorganisms related to his work were detected.
01:37As for the nearly 200 contacts
01:40Authorities say that so far only the novel coronavirus and one other common cause have been detected.
01:45Rhinovirus of the common cold
01:47No plague
01:48The head of the epidemic prevention bureau, Popova, even personally flew from Moscow to the area.
01:53testify
01:53Although he said he was fine
01:56But the bureau chief flew there himself.
01:58It's inevitable that this will cause some concern among the public.
02:00And what about this contradiction?
02:02Some international experts have also noticed this.
02:04Dr. Panjabi, a Harvard physician who previously oversaw biosecurity in the Biden administration,
02:09He said that what Russia said and did were inconsistent.
02:13This is precisely what's worrying.
02:15Think about it, what if it really was just an unexplained pneumonia?
02:18Why quarantine nearly 200 people?
02:20More importantly...
02:21According to international practice, death caused by encountering an unknown pathogen
02:24The local health department should publish the pathogen's genetic sequence.
02:29material
02:29This is the germ's identity card.
02:32Let experts from various countries analyze its characteristics
02:34And its risk of transmission
02:36But so far?
02:37Russia has not made this information public.
02:39So Panjabi said
02:41The current information is insufficient.
02:43There is no way to classify this risk as
02:46Is it medium-high or low?
02:48He suggested that everyone...
02:49We need to keep an eye on three indicators.
02:50The first thing to do is to check if there are any new cases.
02:53Secondly, what about them?
02:54The local school workplace isolation measures
02:57Has it been expanded?
02:58If the quarantine becomes more severe
03:00That means there must be a problem.
03:01Thirdly, whether the laboratory detected it.
03:04New pathogens never seen before
03:07If none of the three items are available
03:09Then everyone doesn't need to panic too much.
03:10So, having said that...
03:12Many viewers might ask
03:14What exactly is pneumonic plague?
03:16It was actually the pathogen of the Black Death in the Middle Ages.
03:19Plague caused by Yersinia pestis
03:22There are three types of plague.
03:24bubonic plague
03:25Pneumonic plague and septicemic plague
03:27Among them, pneumonic plague is the most virulent.
03:29That is, the type that can be transmitted from person to person.
03:31The patient coughs and sneezes
03:33Droplets can then be transmitted to those around you.
03:35The incubation period is only 1 to 4 days.
03:37Chills will occur after the onset of the disease.
03:38fever
03:39Coughing up blood-tinged sputum
03:41Difficulty breathing
03:42If left untreated...
03:43Death could occur as early as 18 to 24 hours.
03:46That sounds terrifying.
03:48However, it is related to COVID-19
03:50There is a big difference
03:51COVID-19 is a virus.
03:53It can spread by asymptomatic people.
03:55Pneumonic plague is caused by bacteria.
03:57Humans have been studying it for over 100 years.
03:59The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said
04:01There has never been a record of asymptomatic transmission.
04:04Moreover, as long as antibiotics are used early
04:06The cure rate is still very high.
04:08In other words
04:09It is highly lethal.
04:10However, it doesn't spread that easily.
04:13Then let's keep saying it in Russia.
04:15When the situation is stable?
04:16Another news has emerged that makes people...
04:18The news made my brow furrow.
04:20A Russian independent media outlet reported that
04:22Irkutsk Oblast
04:24It may have already happened.
04:26The second death case
04:28The report said
04:29A local hospital
04:29Another unidentified person died.
04:32It is also said to be infected with plague.
04:35However, it's still important to clarify this point.
04:36so far
04:37No laboratory results
04:39Or official evidence
04:40Able to prove this death
04:42Related to plague
04:43So, is the second case real or fake?
04:46There is still no answer.
04:47And Trump said
04:49US intelligence agencies
04:50This matter is being discussed in depth.
04:52He also arranged a phone call with Putin.
04:54Indicates willingness to assist Russia
04:56What about the World Health Organization?
04:57This requires Russia to provide further assistance.
04:59Data on suspected cases of pneumonia of unknown etiology
05:02So, should the world be worried?
05:05The World Health Organization provided the answer on October 6th.
05:08A WHO spokesperson said
05:10According to preliminary assessment
05:11The risk of transmission is relatively low.
05:13Because all close contacts have been found
05:16Moreover, during monitoring
05:17No one has shown symptoms so far.
05:19However, there is a key point here.
05:21The Russian side reported
05:23No cases of plague were detected in the contacts.
05:26However, whether the deceased himself was infected with plague remains to be seen.
05:29Is it plague?
05:30Russia has not yet officially clarified the situation.
05:32The World Health Organization also said
05:34After the deceased's examination and other laboratory results are available
05:38Risk assessment may be adjusted at any time.
05:40in other words
05:41The three words "low risk"
05:43It is based on information provided by Russia.
05:46How transparent is the information?
05:48This answer is so reliable
