A suspected plague death of a laboratory worker in Russia is drawing concern from scientists, with public health researcher Devi Sridhar highlighting the case. Commentators say Russian authorities' silence about the incident underlines a broader problem: pandemic preparedness is ineffective if governments withhold information about dangerous disease threats, and the lack of official detail about the worker's infection is fuelling unease among experts watching the case.
