Aggregated

Contact the desk

One address reaches the editorial desk. Corrections get priority, and we would rather hear about a broken source link than keep it.

How to reach us

Email editor@pneumonicplague.news. We are a small desk and cannot answer everything, but we read corrections, broken-link reports, source suggestions and questions about our method.

For a correction, include the item you are writing about, what is wrong, and a link to the source that shows it. That is enough for us to re-check it against every source already listed.

What we cannot help with

We are aggregators, not clinicians. We cannot give medical advice, interpret a test result, or advise on travel or treatment. If you are unwell, contact a medical professional.

We cannot confirm or deny anything about the outbreak beyond what is already published and linked on this site, and we have no way to reach anyone involved in it.

Not medical adviceThis is general education, cited to WHO and CDC material. It is not a diagnosis, it is not a treatment plan, and it does not replace assessment by a clinician. If you are unwell, contact a medical professional.
