Who do you think is right about the second suspected plague case in Irkutsk?

A worker at a research institute in Irkutsk died of plague (Yersinia pestis), and a second suspected case has surfaced. Russia called reports of the second case "fake information", while a WHO official requested more details from Moscow.

  • Russia – I think the Western press is overreacting
  • The WHO – if they're asking questions, there's probably a reason
  • Neither – we simply don't have enough facts to judge
  • Both could be right – it's more a communication problem than a factual one
