CHP alerted of fatal pneumonic plague case in Tibet

The Centre for Health Protection (CHP) on Wednesday alerted the public of a pneumonic plague case in Tibet after a man died of the highly contagious disease there last month.The man, 38, was a herder in the city of Shannan. He developed symptoms on September 24 and died the next day.The CHP said it was notified of the case by the National Health Commission.A spokesman for the CHP said plague is transmitted from an infected animal, mainly rodents, to humans. He added that pneumonic plague is highly contagious and can spread between humans by inhalation of respiratory droplets from an infected person, and patients may die within a short period of time if they're not treated immediately.The spokesman reminded travellers to avoid visiting plague-endemic areas."Travellers returning from affected areas with a sudden onset of fever, shaking chills, body pains or chest discomfort should seek medical advice as soon as possible and reveal their travel history for prompt investigation and management," he said.

🇨🇳🛰🇭🇰 Asia Times: Starlink alert: China testing anti-satellite nuclear weapons
— "China has simulated using nuclear weapons to destroy near-earth orbit satellites, a capability that could knock out multiple enemy satellite constellations used to support military operations.

The Northwest Institute of Nuclear Technology, a Xian-based research institute run by the People's Liberation Army, claims to have developed a model to evaluate the performance of nuclear anti-satellite weapons at different altitudes and yields with unprecedented detail and accuracy, according to news reports.

The research team's simulation showed that a 10-megaton warhead could destroy satellites if it detonates at an altitude of 80 kilometers, with the blast turning air molecules into a pear-shaped cloud of radioactive particles that can cause failures and damage to satellites, nuclear physicist Liu Li and his team wrote in a paper published in the Nuclear Techniques peer-reviewed journal."
