The Russian military has reportedly sent biological warfare teams to the Russian arctic in northern Siberia after at least 40 people and 1,200 reindeer died as the result of a violent and rapid spread of what is believed to be Bacillus Anthracis, more commonly known as Anthrax.
Russian officials said the infection may have started after a contaminated corpse was exposed following a warm summer in the Arctic which saw temperatures rise as high as 95 degrees Fahrenheit.
There were dramatic scenes as the Russian army’s Chemical, Radioactive and Biological Protection Corps, equipped with masks and bio-warfare protective clothing, flew to to regional capital Salekhard on a military Il-76 aircraft to deal with the emergency.
They were deployed by Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu to carry laboratory tests on the ground, detect and eliminate the focal point of the infection, and to dispose safely of dead animals.
…
“As of now, there is no single diagnosis of the dangerous infection,” said a spokesman for the governor of Yamalo-Nenets, Dmitry Kobylkin.

Sounds bogus
or Clintons
Russia has had anthrax ‘accidents’ in the past
“”Human or animal?””
I was going to ask the same question but figured some smart aleck freeper would say a dead animal isn’t a corpse...so neither of us knows the answer..well, I’ll just move on to the next story.
BTW, it’s Trump’s fault anyway! He has an open line to the Kremlin or so I’m told.
I worked in the North Slope oil patch in Alaska (70* N latitude) for 26 years. 95* in July is uncommon but it happens. Saw a thunderstorm once too.
I still have questions about the origins of Ebola and Zika. Maybe we can all 3 answers at once.
Corpse is human carcass is animal unless Obama tells it.
The last couple of episodes have been kind of dragging.
Northern lights too? I wish I could bear the cold enough to see something so amazing.
I started watching but when they didn’t blow the Russians out of the water, I quit. End of the world situation, my enemies are dead. Also no chance of females on Russian ship so less competition. No sane Captain would act like that.
Then I saw our sailors with their hands over their heads, surrendered to IRAN.
Guess I should start watching again..
Obama’s Navy.
I should have seen it coming. The only time writers let the hero and heroine get together is when one of them is about to die.
Or even think of getting together.
Here in NJ they trafficked an undocumented pregnant Central American woman after her mother (a doctor) confirmed she had Zika (and wanted her to get better treatment here); now we have a new “American” (the sick baby), and instead of waiting for Zika to come up the coast from Florida we have a head start on everyone else...
Anyone involved in transporting this contaminated specimen here to NJ should be arrested immediately...
It just blows me away, if they are going to give out $$ for healthcare. They should reallocate those funds to our vets who deserve it.
Your description reminds me of the movie Crimson Tide. What a cluster!
I really like apocalyptic shows (and probably lots others as they are so popular. I watch WaywRd Pines, Containment, and the Lost Ship. (Also love Saving Hope and now Queen of the South). They get recorded and I watch when I have an attention span. I’m recuping from a donor bone marrow Transplant, so ‘I’m allowed’ to watch the idiot box this much. lol (live saying Idiot box - what my dad used to call it) never really watched tv until recently. I must be beaten down at this point. Should probably Take up a hobby - other than FR.
Oh, some of them were recently taken POW’s by a rebel on an Asian Island. Oh - and I have a little crush on the Captain ; )
Putin vs. The Thing from Another World.
Given the current cultural climate, don’t be surprised if they write in a change toward being gay for the capt.
I was rooting for Tex too.
I live at about 42 north, and I’ve seen some pretty spectacular northern lights. It’s rare, but it does happen.
