bmk1245 Posted July 27, 2016 #1 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Quote Anthrax outbreak kills hundreds of reindeer [...] The governor's office for the region, which lies 2,000 kilometers (1,200 miles) northeast of Moscow, said 13 people, including children, have been hospitalized for the disease and 63 people have been potentially affected. The herders are being evacuated to the regional capital of Salekhard. [...] Read more... Russian media mention 9 children among 13 hospitalized. Lets hope there will be no fatalities, and it won't spread. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Varelse Posted July 27, 2016 #3 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Since anthrax spores can be frozen I wonder if warmer temps in Siberia and softer tundra are stirring up old strains. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still Waters Posted August 1, 2016 #5 Share Posted August 1, 2016 In this report it says - Quote An outbreak of anthrax has struck Siberia for the first time since 1941 -- and the thawing carcass of a victim of that last outbreak may be responsible. http://www.seeker.com/thawed-reindeer-carcass-unleashes-siberian-anthrax-outbreak-1952087395.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varelse Posted August 2, 2016 #6 Share Posted August 2, 2016 While most are focused on rising sea levels and extreme weather what's going on in the arctic circles are just as disturbing. When the trapped methane and Co2 in places like Siberia breaks free it won't matter if man caused this mess or it's natural. We'll be past the point of fixing anything.
