WHO unsure what caused pneumonia in Russian lab worker
The World Health Organisation said on Oct 10 that it still does not know what caused the pneumonia that killed a Russian laboratory worker at an anti-plague research centre in Siberia this month, and that no case of plague had been registered.
asserted
case → express → plague
The WHO said the Russian state regulator reported that tests of the laboratory worker and those who came in contact with her were negative for the high-threat pathogens tested, that her contacts still showed no symptoms, and that no further linked cases of severe pneumonia had been identified.
“Based on the information provided... (the) WHO has not identified evidence of ongoing transmission associated with this event.
asserted
WHO → say → event
A key uncertainty remains the absence of a confirmed diagnosis in the deceased laboratory worker,” it said in a statement.

it → remain → statement

uncertain
few → claim → tide
But Verstappen’s racing mettle was on full display on Oct 10 as he claimed his first pole position at the Formula 1 Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand Prix to put himself in prime position for a long-awaited victory.

he → claim → victory

Carrick’s men were booed off at half-time and at the end of the match, after a Tottenham side that began the day bottom of the table dominated for large spells.
