The plague. The death of a female in Irkutsk, working with a plague pathogen, sparked a wave of questions and speculation in Russia. Authorities don't confirm the infection, but the case is being monitored by the United States. "We encourage Russian authorities to rapidly supply reliable information". encourage the United States to supply reliable information quickly. October barely started, and we already have the wit of the month, or possibly the year. I envy the United States' sense of humor.
