Hi, expert in virology here (I have a PhD in microbiology).
The silver lining is actually that pneumonic plague (bacteria, not a virus) is not transmissible enough to cause a pandemic to start with. I'm concerned abt biosafety, security, & transparency, but not about pandemics
@Rebel_Net@MaryBowdenMD When antibiotic treatment is initiated within the first 24 hrs of symptom onset, the chances of a full recovery are very high. If treatment is delayed beyond that 24-36-hr window, rapidly causes severe respiratory failure, sepsis, and a significantly higher risk of mortality.
