I do remember that at the beginning of the COVID scamdemic we (Me included) were panicking about spread and mortality rates that proved to be pure fiction based on what we knew about illness spread on popular media, specially with regards to the "Spanish flu"

Nobody listened to the quiet guy in a corner saying: "Respiratory illnesses do not spread exponentially but in pockets, and they flare quickly". Instead panic ensued.

So a reminder that not everything is known about the black plague so let's not extrapolate too much. Then it is all rumours and AFAIK the Russians are following standard protocol just in case, not because something terrible has escaped the lab.

Also resistance to antibiotics is a relative concept that doesn't work like people think it does.

Last I heard the guy was fine and responding to regular pneumonia treatment.
