Lab Worker’s Pneumonia Sparks Plague Panic in Irkutsk

So, in Irkutsk, this 28-year-old lab guy, poof, gone from pneumonia! They quarantined 200 folks like it’s a big pizza party gone wrong. At first, they thought it was the plague—whoa!—but then said, 'Nah, we’re cool!' The WHO’s just chillin’, saying it’s low risk. No lab mishaps, just some old Soviet chatter. What a wild ride, huh?
