When the plague case pops up right next to the plague research center, it's almost certainly related

Figured we should get that on the record early this time

[Dr. Tau Braun @drtaubraun]

From my perspective as a bio-threat expert, based on current information, the Irkutsk story isn’t about plague. It’s about what fear does to a hospital. The story should sound familiar.

Darya Shipilova was twenty-eight years old, a laboratory technician at the Irkutsk Anti-Plague Institute in Siberia. On September 25, she broke a test tube of live plague bacteria. She felt fine at first. Then the stress took over. She could not sleep. She started imagining symptoms. By September 28 she was exhausted, feverish, and coughing.

On September 29 she went to Shelekhov District Hospital. The doctors heard “plague lab” and panicked. They gave her broad-spectrum antibiotics, heavy sedation, and eventually a ventilator. The propofol and the antibiotics were too much for her system. The ventilator itself did damage. The tube bypassed her natural defenses, and the machine pushed air into lungs that were already inflamed. She died in the early hours of October 2.

The hospital quarantined the ward. Nearly 200 contacts were identified and placed under observation, many hospitalized. The governor flew in the chief sanitary doctor. Several Irkutsk hospitals closed to visitors. The Irkutsk aluminum plant ordered masks for staff. Masks appeared in public and at kindergartens.

The real story might be simpler and sadder. A stressed young woman broke a tube, lost sleep, got sick from the stress, and then got overtreated by a system that was terrified of plague. The overreaction killed her, not the bacteria.

But the story does not stop with her. It repeats. The nearly 200 contacts locked inside will face the same conditions. Weeks indoors with no sunlight will crash their vitamin D levels, and vitamin D is what keeps the immune system calibrated. The isolation itself will become a stressor, and stress suppresses immune function. The broad-spectrum antibiotics given as prophylaxis will wipe out their gut flora, which is where a huge share of immune signaling happens. The sedation, when it comes, will dull their cough reflexes and let secretions pool in their lungs. The ventilator, if it comes, will be the final insult. The tube bypasses natural defenses, and the machine pushes air into lungs that are already inflamed.

The hospital environment will add its own dangers. Antibiotic-resistant bacteria thrive in wards where everyone is on the same drugs. Fungi like Candida and Aspergillus move in when the normal flora is gone. The people who walked in healthy will walk out colonized with organisms their bodies can no longer fight.

Then Rospotrebnadzor tested her samples and found nothing. No plague. No tularemia. No anthrax. Just pneumonia of unknown cause. The biosafety review found no lab accident. The official line was that she died of something unrelated to her work.

The fear feeds itself. The response becomes the disease.

@AJM_v201jm @ashishkjha Irkusk is basically the Chicago of Russia with a very similar climate.

[RAW EGG NATIONALIST @Babygravy9]

A friend of mine who works in Russia has just sent me a voicemail: St Petersburg is going to go into lockdown tomorrow because of the plague outbreak. Not joking.

@Chicago_Goofies That beautiful little girl deserved so much more. She deserved a society that would protect her.

American an European friends,

I’m so ashamed, but you need to see what France has become.

Don’t make the same mistakes we did.

The only peaceful solution is to send them back to their countries of origin they love so much.

We cannot coexist. It will be them, or us.

Zillow is down 87% from its peak.

Management said the housing market is getting worse.

Home sales remain near generational lows, affordability is broken, and transaction volume is still frozen.

This isn't a Zillow problem.

It's a housing market problem.

Watch the companies tied to transactions - they'll tell you where housing is headed before the headlines do.

[Gunther Eagleman™ @GuntherEagleman]

The world isn’t destroyed only by evil people.

It’s destroyed when good people see what’s happening, know it’s wrong, and choose to stay silent.

Evil becomes powerful when decent people stop standing up to it.

Electric vehicle maker Rivian says it faces a $100 Million hole after Trump relaxed fuel economy rules.

If your business model depends on government mandates instead of actual consumer demand, you don't have a product—you have a subsidy with wheels.

Democrats in New York City are offering up to $100,000 in free forgivable home loans for first time home buyers to noncitizens

The loan helps noncitizens buy a home in any of New York’s 5 boroughs

Democrats made extra sure to let noncitizens know “You will not be asked about your immigration status when you apply”

The program is called HomeFirst and it is a public program paid for with city and federal funds

We are literally paying up to a $100,000 for noncitizens to be able to buy a home and that down payment assistance is forgivable if they live in the home for 10-15 years depending on amount offered. Meaning we paid for it

The median family income in the U.S. has gone from $10K in 1971 to $106k today, an increase of 10x.

However, the median cost of a house has gone from $25K to $445k, an increase of 17x.

And the median cost of a car has gone from $3.6K to $50k, an increase of 14x.

The median cost of college has gone from $2.9k a year to $45k, an increase of 16x.

And the average cost of healthcare per person has gone from $350 to $14.6k, an increase of 42x.

THE AVERAGE PERSON IS WORSE OFF TODAY THAN IN 1971.

🚨🇫🇷 France descends into war-zone chaos.

Over 1,000 schools hit, 2,000 students detained, 305 police injured – and it's still escalating.

Macron has lost control of the country.

A study was just released showing that Idaho could completely eliminate property taxes statewide by switching to a 11.4% sales tax

California has multiple cities in Los Angeles County that have an 11.75% sales tax and still collect property taxes

Wrap your head around that…..
