Russia denies second infection as plague lab death scrutiny continues

Russia's public health watchdog denied reports that a second person was infected after a 28-year-old researcher at an Irkutsk plague institute died of pneumonia on October 2. Russian officials say the cause was pneumonia of unknown origin, not linked to her lab work. President Trump said Wednesday he does not think the case is a bioweapon, saying Russia has it "under control." The WHO has asked Russia for more details on the cause.
