(CHICAGO) (WLS) -- There was word Saturday that the death of a University of Chicago scientist may be linked to a bacteria that causes the plague.
The University of Chicago says there doesn't appear to be any threat to the public, and no other illness related to the case has been reported.
The modified strain of "y-pestis" has been approved by the Centers for Disease Control for routine laboratory studies, and it is not known to cause illness in healthy adults.

I see that one of the comments at the link has Obama’s spin machine on his/her mind:
“Didn’t he have health insurance? How could he have died if he had insurance?”
