US closely monitoring case of lab worker who ‘possibly’ died of plague in Siberia, says Rubio
Quarantine measures in place in several hospitals in eastern Russia amid uncertainty over death of Darya Shipilova

The US secretary of state, Marco Rubio, has said the US is closely monitoring the case of a Russian laboratory worker who died last week after a reported accident at a plague research institute in Siberia.
“We’re watching and monitoring it closely,” Rubio said on Monday before leaving for a trip to Europe. “I don’t think it’s cause for alarm, but it is cause for focus and a cause just to keep an eye on it.”
Darya Shipilova, a 28-year-old employee at the anti-plague institute in the city of Irkutsk, became ill at work. She died two days later on the night of 2 October at a regional hospital in the nearby town of Shelekhov.

John Gutch: Sumatra, Java, Sulawesi. These are places with names so beautiful that they must have been given by poets. My boyhood imaginings were that my destiny lay sailing down the trade routes to those Spice Islands, that I would carve a fortune and marry a potentate's daughter. But destiny has taken a less romantic turn. Instead, I have become an ink-stained printer and journalist, none too successful financially and, I will admit, none too fortunate in love either. Reluctantly, in my profession, I've had to learn the difference between the imaginary world and the world that is real. But this story is not imagined and even though in its way it's a fairy tale, it is true, and became as much my story as it was hers.
The Stand - complete edition, by Stephen King, author
excerpt, Chapter 46
Anyway, Stu said, “So how come you and Frannie are having the same dream?” Harold muttered something about coincidence and just stalked off.
Stu told Glen and I that he would like us to go to Nebraska after Stovington. Glen shrugged and said, “Why not? We have to go somewhere.”
Harold, of course, will object on general principles. Damn you, Harold, grow up!
Things to Remember: There were gasoline shortages in the early 80s because everybody in America was driving something and we had used up most of our oil supplies and the Arabs had us by the short hairs. The Arabs had so much money they literally couldn’t spend it. There was a rock and roll group called The Who that sometimes used to finish their live performances by smashing their guitars and amplifiers. This was known as “conspicuous consumption.”
July 8, 1990
It’s late and I’m tired again but I should try to get as much down as I possibly can before my eyelids just SLAM SHUT. Harold finished his sign about an hour ago (with much bad grace I must say) and put it on the front lawn of the Stovington installation. Stu helped him put it up and held his peace in spite of all Harold’s mean little jibes.
I had tried to prepare myself for the disappointment. I never believed Stu was lying, and I really don’t think Harold believed he was, either. So I was sure everybody was dead, but still it was an upsetting experience and I cried. I couldn’t help myself.

Dawn Of The Dead (2004)
# Those are people who died, died
# Those are people who died, died
# Those are people who died, died
excerpt, Chapter 46 continues
But I wasn’t the only one who was upset. When Stu saw the place he turned almost dead white. He had on a short-sleeved shirt, and I could see he had goosebumps all up and down his arms. His eyes are normally blue but they had gone a slaty color, like the ocean on a gray day.
He pointed up to the third floor and said, “That was my room.”
Harold turned toward him, and I could see him getting ready with one of his patented Harold Lauder Smartass Comments, but then he saw Stu’s face and shut up. I think that was very wise of him, actually.
So after a little while Harold sez, “Well, let’s go in and look around.”
“What would you want to do that for?” Stu answers, and he sounded almost hysterical, but keeping it under a tight rein. It scared me, more so because he is usually as cool as icewater. Witness what little success Harold has had getting under his skin.
“Stuart—” Glen starts, but Stu interrupts with,
“What for? Can’t you see it’s a dead place? No brass bands, no soldiers, no nothing. Believe it,” he says, “if they were here they’d be all over us by now. We’d be up in those white rooms like a bunch of fucking guinea pigs.” Then he looks at me and says, “Sorry, Fran—I didn’t mean to talk that way. I guess I’m upset.”
“Well, I’m going in,” Harold sez, “who’s coming with me?” But I could see that even though Harold was trying to be BIG & BOLD, he was really scared himself.
Glen said he would, and Stu said: “You go in, too, Fran. Have a look. Satisfy yourself.”
I wanted to say I’d stay outside with him, because he looked so uptight (and because I really didn’t want to go in, either, you know), but that would have made more trouble with Harold, so I said okay.
If we—Glen and I—had really had any doubts about Stu’s story, we could have dropped them as soon as we opened the door. It was the smell. You can smell the same thing in any of the fair-sized towns we’ve traveled thru, it’s a smell like decayed tomatoes, and oh God I’m crying again, but is it right for people not just to die but then to stink like
Wait
(later)
There, I’ve had my second GOOD CRY of the day, whatever can be happening to L’il Fran Goldsmith, Our Gal Sal, who used to be able to chew up nails and spit out carpet tacks, ha-ha, as the old saying goes. Well, no more tears tonite, and that’s a promise.
We went inside anyway, morbid curiosity, I guess. I don’t know about the others, but I kind of wanted to see the room where Stu was held prisoner. Anyway, it wasn’t just the smell, you know, but how cool the place was after the outside. A lot of granite and marble and probably really fantastic insulation. It was warmer on the top 2 floors, but down below was that smell… and the cool… it was like a tomb. YUCK.

KE'RA
Tell me of Linea.
DANIEL
Well, uh, basically, we met her on a visit to another planet, during which we were imprisoned, unjustly, and Linea helped us escape.
KE'RA
Surely there is nothing wrong with that, if you were imprisoned unjustly.
DANIEL
Well, she was imprisoned justly. It was only after we escaped that we learned this nice, older lady we thought Linea was, was in fact a very, very bad, older lady, who had committed terrible crimes.
KE'RA
What crimes?
DANIEL
She created a plague that almost wiped out an entire people. They called her the Destroyer of Worlds.

O'NEILL
Oh my. There is a distinct lack of optimism in this room.
FRAISER
We've been working around the clock trying to dissolve a chemical inside the brain without harming the surrounding tissue and it is not easy.
HAMMOND
What have you learned?
CARTER
That it could take years, Sir.
HAMMOND
Suffice it to say, we don't have that much time.
FRAISER
Unless we get help.
O'NEILL
From?
[He stoops to peer through a microscope.]
CARTER
Ke'ra, Sir.
[O'NEILL straightens in surprise.]
HAMMOND
Absolutely not.
FRAISER
Sir, I don't like the idea any more than you. But without her knowledge of biochemistry, especially of the residual D'Argol, I don't know if we can reverse the effects of the amnesia in time to prevent a catastrophe on Vyus.
HAMMOND
Doctor, you're asking me to allow a known homicidal maniac to work with potentially lethal substances.

Linea is dead, right?
CARTER
Well, if those two bodies that Ke'ra found really were the Vyun elders that Linea was experimenting on…
O'NEILL
Don't say it Carter.
CARTER
Sir, we wouldn't recognise her even if she walked in the front door.
O'NEILL
Don't, don't…
[He puts his hands to his ears and starts singing.]
CARTER
(loudly)
Sir, she has the knowledge of chemistry, the medical skills…

I think we at least have to face the possibility that Ke'ra is Linea.

It fits…well what about the body of the old woman they found after the Vorlix that fits Linea's description?
TEAL'C
Linea's first victim.
O'NEILL
Come on Daniel, you saw the test results. What more do you need?
FRAISER
Ke'ra's DNA is a perfect match for the samples I took from Linea last year. It's irrefutable.
