Marburg virus has spread in Africa from Guinea to Tanzania. This is pretty scary stuff. It can have an incubation period ranging from 2 to 21 days. That's more than long enough for some unsuspecting carrier to get on a plane and head overseas. Depending on the strain, it can have a fatality rate of 23 to 90%. It certainly knocks Covid into a cocked hat. There's also this article about the rise of Marburg and it's link to climate change. |

Those who got it wrong, for whatever reason, may feel defensive and retrench into a position that doesn’t accord with the facts.

The CDC also says it’s sending personnel from its National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases to respond to the outbreaks. Equatorial Guinea declared an outbreak of MVD on Feb. 13, and Tanzania declared an outbreak on March 21, the CDC noted. The World Health Organization (WHO) has recorded at least nine confirmed cases in Equatorial Guinea and another 20 probable cases, all of whom have died as of March 25. In Tanzania, the WHO confirmed eight cases, five of whom have died, with the remaining three people undergoing treatments as of March 22. People are being warned to avoid nonessential travel to the regions where the outbreak is occurring. In Equatorial Guinea, the provinces are Kie-Ntem, Centro Sur, and Litoral. In Tanzania, the Kagera region had confirmed cases. Kenya and Uganda are on high alert due to the recent cases in Tanzania. MVD is often fatal and is caused by the Marburg virus, which is in the same family as the virus that causes Ebola. According to the CDC, (pdf) as many as 9 out of 10 people infected with the virus will die without treatment. It causes a viral hemorrhagic fever that brings severe symptoms within seven days that include high fever, chills, severe headache, muscle pain, malaise, rash, sore throat, diarrhea, weakness, uncontrolled bleeding or bruising, and more. DJ, There will be (some) more spread-simply because of a lack of basic healthcare...One doctor for over 100,000 people simply is asking for problems...
