"If it were a classic pneumonic plague, then the quarantine period would be shorter than 21 days due to the incubation period. And I think the extent of those measures is really peculiar," According to the epidemiologist and former health minister Roman Prymula, this contradiction raises doubts. #plicnímor #epidemiologie #Rusko (translated)

In his contribution, Marek Štefan described the case of a worker from the Irkutsk Anti-Plague Research Institute for Siberia and the Far East, who, according to local media, was hospitalized with severe pneumonia after a test tube containing the plague pathogen broke and died on Thursday. The head of Buryatia, Alexei Tsydenov, according to Štefan, stated that the woman died of an unspecified form of the plague; nearly 200 people were under medical supervision, according to local media. Štefan explained that the Yersinia pestis bacteria, in his view, is transmitted in nature between rodents and fleas, and it primarily reaches humans through flea bites or contact with an infected animal. According to him, the plague still exists in Africa, especially in Madagascar and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, in Asia, and in the western United States, where several hundred cases are reported each year. He distinguished bubonic, septicemic, and pneumonic forms; he identified the latter as the most severe and stated that without treatment, it is almost always fatal. According to Štefan, pneumonic plague spreads through droplets during close contact, typically with a patient in the late stage of the disease. He added that the bacteria quickly dies outside the host and that the disease can be treated with common antibiotics, with resistance being extraordinarily rare in his opinion. People after risky contact, according to his contribution, receive a seven-day course of preventive antibiotics. He classified laboratory infections as rare today when the necessary precautions are observed. He also stated that there is no evidence of the possible use of the bacteria for bioterrorism in the current context. He called the risk to the Czech Republic zero and recommended following official sources, not Russian information channels. #mor #zdraví #epidemie (translated)

Tomas Kapler stated in his contribution that the discovery of two fragments of pyrite in a former clay pit near English Barnham, according to him, pushed evidence of fire being used by humans back by 350,000 years. A team from the British Museum, led by Nick Ashton and Rob Davis, found them in reddish clay, even though pyrite was not naturally present in the area, according to Kapler. Archaeologists also discovered charred and heat-cracked hand axes and soil burned at over 700 °C there. It reportedly took scientists four years to eliminate the possibility of a fire caused by lightning. Kapler wrote that research published in December 2025 in the journal Nature described the oldest unequivocal evidence that humans could make fire themselves. According to him, the previous such evidence came from Neanderthal sites in northern France and was 50,000 years old. The find from Barnham, according to Kapler, shows that humans had this ability already 400,000 years ago. Chris Stringer from the Natural History Museum in London speculated that they were early Neanderthals, among other reasons based on finds from Swanscombe and Atapuerca. The contribution also addressed the fact that archaeological finds mainly preserve stone, while wood, leather, and plant fibers deteriorate. Kapler recalled a 35,000-year-old tool made from mammoth ivory from the German cave Hohle Fels, whose holes, according to him, allowed for the production of rope, and a six-millimeter fragment of a cord 50,000 years old found in the French Abri du Maras. Archaeologist Bruce Hardy's estimate that we know less than 10 percent of the ordinary life of prehistoric humans was linked by Kapler to the items that did not survive, such as nets, bags, bowstrings, or footwear. According to his conclusion, the image of the Stone Age captures primarily what has not perished. #Archeologie #DobaKamenná #Historie (translated)

Tronco stated that rejecting DNU 70/2023 would mean reverting to the Rental Law and a scheme that reserved part of cabotage for Aerolíneas Argentinas. He affirmed that, since the repeal of Law 27.551, the supply of rentals has increased by 360% for houses and 320% for apartments in Mendoza, 155% in Rosario, 40% in Jujuy, and 28.4% in Córdoba. In the AMBA area, he added, the supply grew by 211.9% and the real rent per square meter decreased by 26.6%. He also attributed the repeal of Law 19.030 to the DNU, which, he wrote, reserved 50% of cabotage for Aerolíneas and prohibited two companies from competing on the same route. He stated that 2025 closed with 50.6 million passengers, a historic record, and cited increases in international traffic in Salta (61%), Córdoba (54%), and Bariloche (51%), and in cabotage in Río Hondo (82%), Santa Fe (30%), and Neuquén (22%). Additionally, he noted that from September 2026, the Neuquén–Chos Malal route, which had been inactive for 13 years, would resume operations. He concluded that rejecting the DNU would mean returning to the previous scheme and that, in his opinion, everyone would lose. #LeyDeAlquileres #DNU70 #Cabotaje (translated)
