Now is a good time to start following Annie if you're not already.
🚨☣️More details on the Oct 1st pneumonic plague outbreak in Siberia, after a lab accident at a BSL-3 lab.
"FSB units accompanying ambulances transporting people who had been in contact with [lab tech] Shipilova for medical examination," as per local news. This is significant. FSB is Russia's domestic security / counterintelligence service, tasked w/implementing the national security of Russia." (Its predecessor was the KGB). This suggests quarantine was not voluntary.
It also means Russian authorities are treating the lab accident and plague outbreak as a national security issue, involving a lot more than routine public health.
A finale so uplifting that you may have the urge to put a tray table up... Wrote about why Up in the Air is the plane movie I'll watch anywhere

If you don’t think Adam Wharton should be starting next to Rice for England. I don’t think you understand football.

"I never got the chance to visit, but I'm really saddened by it. When I heard the news I was so disappointed an act can ruin something for the pleasure of everybody. It was a beautiful thing.”

Last year my son was diagnosed with leukaemia, completely out of the blue. It's been a punishingly hard 8 months – also inspiring to see my son's courage. I wrote about the experience and why the new series of @rickygervais's After Life resonates deeply. telegraph.co.uk/tv/0/ricky-g…
