← A 28-Year-Old Worker at Russia's Irkutsk Anti-Plague Institute Dies of a "Pneumonia of Unknown Etiology" and Nearly 200 People Are Put Under Observation — Marco Rubio Says It Is "Incumbent Upon Russia" to Share More, Rand Paul Says Soviet Defectors Described "Weaponizing the Plague," and Trump Says Moscow Says "They Have It Very Much Under Control"
