肺鼠疫与新冠病毒完全不同。它是一种细菌（鼠疫耶尔森菌），可以通过人与人之间的接触传播。

这不是什么可以掉以轻心的东西，但常用抗生素（庆大霉素静脉/肌肉注射、多西环素口服等）非常有效且易于获得。

我们将在未来几天内了解更多关于这次俄罗斯实验室泄漏的遏制情况（或缺乏遏制），但很可能无需为此担心。

pneumonic plague is nothing like COVID. it's a bacteria (yersinia pestis) that can be transmitted from person to person.

it's not something to mess with, but commonly available antibiotics (gentamicin IV/IM, doxycycline orally etc.) are highly effective and available.

we'll know more in the coming days about the containment (or lack thereof) of this Russian lab leak, but it's likely not something to worry about. @paulsaladinomd
