worker is dead, and nearly 200 people are in0:14medical isolation.0:16The Institute works on plague, and Russia's health watchdog insists she did not die0:20of it.0:21Yet hospital wards are locked down, and the watchdog's chief reportedly flew to the0:25region.0:25So, what killed her, and why is the response so much bigger than the official0:29explanation?0:29Just under 200 people are under medical observation, and more than 100 of them are0:34being monitored in hospital wards.0:36One regional breakdown, not an official count, lists about 197 contacts and about0:41189 hospitalized for observation, roughly 114 in one hospital, 63 in another,0:47and 12 at the Institute.0:48The watchdog's summary of tests among contacts found two COVID-19 cases, two0:53rhinovirus infections, and no other infectious agents, and monitoring has already0:57ended for about 60% of them.1:00She was hospitalized on September 29th with severe pneumonia of unknown cause, put1:05on a ventilator, and died in the early hours of October 20.1:09Some accounts say the night of October 1 to 2, she is reported as Darya Shipilova,1:14though spellings vary, and she worked at the Institute in Shelikov, a satellite town1:18of Irkutsk.1:19No medical record has been published.1:21The official account has hardened into a flat denial.1:23The watchdog says expanded testing of her samples found no microorganisms connected1:28with her work.1:29A commission found no accident involving pathogens at the Institute, and there were1:33no infectious disease cases among staff in the previous 10 days.1:36It calls the situation in the Irkutsk region, Irkutsk and Shelikov stable.1:41Governor Igor Kobzevsev says identified contacts show no signs of illness and have1:45negative lab results.1:47Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told the public to disregard rumors and speculation,1:51and a former watchdog head, Gennady Onishenko, says it was most likely not plague1:55and that even if it were, spread would be unlikely.1:57The official line has not always been this firm.2:00Watchdog head Anna Popova reportedly flew to Irkutsk and joined an emergency2:05regional anti-epidemic commission convened over a suspected case of a particularly2:09dangerous infection.2:10The wording was later walked back to pneumonia of unknown cause.2:13And the head of neighboring Bryasha, Alexei Sidonov, first wrote that she died of2:18plague, then edited his post to say possibly, and denied she had been in Bryatia.2:23One account of how she fell ill, ill involves a broken test tube of the plague2:27pathogen.2:28One local report dates that to September 25th, citing unnamed sources and a2:33different story about a trip abroad, also circulated.2:36Officials have confirmed neither.2:38The watchdog and Russia's infectious disease agency deny any accident.2:42Which hospitals are actually shut is not settled.2:45Shelikov's mayor, Maxim Modin, confirmed the inpatient ward of the district hospital2:49is under quarantine with no routine admissions or discharges, while its outpatient2:54clinic stays open.2:55At least three hospitals have confirmed they are quarantined, and a maternity2:59facility is reportedly closed too.3:01One outlet reported three-week quarantines at several Irkutsk city hospitals, but on3:06October 5th, several of them publicly denied closure.3:09and said no pneumonic plague had been confirmed in the city.3:12A travel warning against Shelikov was posted, then deleted.3:16The institute itself is reportedly locked down, with about 60 staff sleeping on3:20floors and chairs, a claim officials have not confirmed.3:23Abroad.3:24The World Health Organization is in contact with Russian officials to verify the3:28event, the circumstances, and the lab tests.3:30On unofficial information, it says the risk to the general population appears low.3:35The U.S.3:35State Department is monitoring with the CDC, says many details are unconfirmed, and3:40has urged Russia to share accurate information quickly and openly.3:43Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who had voiced concern the illness could spread,3:47struck that measured tone on October 5th.3:49The White House says it is monitoring and assessing options, and a U.S.3:52official notes travel between the two countries is limited.3:55The European Commission is monitoring with the European Center for Disease3:58Prevention and Control, and Kazakhstan, calling its own risk very low, has tightened4:02sanitary controls at its border.4:04Infectious disease expert Amesh Adalja says plague is treatable with antibiotics,4:09and that the main worry is Russia's transparency.4:12So what killed her?4:13Nobody has shown.4:14No public lab result identifies a pathogen, and plague is neither confirmed nor4:19ruled out by any independently verifiable test.4:22The gap between an official denial and a response that isolates roughly 200 people4:26remains unexplained.4:28Four developments would settle it: a published lab result, the release of isolated4:32contacts, fuller disclosure from Russia or the World Health Organization, and4:36whether any contact falls ill.مقاله را بخوانیدخط زمانی
