IN the NEWS - Old Plague Triggers Lockdown

....and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.... Matthew 24:7

"Russia still has the third highest number of COVID-19 infections in the world, ..... but it's not the only deadly outbreak it has to worry about. 


In nearby Mongolia in a region near the Russian border the rare, ancient bubonic plague, or known in history as the 'Black Death', has surfaced once again, causing Mongolia to place ares of the Western region of Khovd province along the border on lockdown.

Two cases have been confirmed after lab test results. Two brothers, 27 and 16-years old, are currently at separate hospitals in the western province of Dorj Narangerel after they ate marmot meat.

Fearing a potential outbreak of the disease which in the 14th century wiped out one-third the population of Europe, Mongolian health authorities have begun aggressive contact tracing.
China's Xinhua news reports that at least 146 people have been isolated at local hospitals after having contact with the infected brothers. The health ministry further said it's identified 504 second-contact individuals."
