The last news report I saw identified the death associated with the Russian lab as pneumonic plague. But apparently that still awaits confirmation.
Hard not to wonder if the Russians are working on a weaponized version and had a lab leak.
My understanding is that the plague can be treated with existing antibiotics. But whereas bubonic plague is slow to spread and less deadly (in the modern context of antibiotics), pneumonic is much more readily transmitted.
