This is where the Covid nightmare really begins. If we have the CDC screaming wolf, insisting we lock down for this REAL lethal epidemic, who’d listen to “science and the experts” again?

Infectious Disease ping - ( Tanzania ) - The Marburg virus is a cousin of the equally deadly Ebola virus, found recently in Tanzania
Three people are being treated, along with health authoities tracing another possible 161 contacts

"High fever is a common symptom of the deadly Ebola-like virus, often followed by bleeding and organ failure.
Tanzania's health minister Ummy Mwalimu said the disease had been contained and she was confident it would not spread further.
Three people are being treated in hospital and authorities are tracing 161 contacts, Ms Mwalimu added."

"The Marburg virus is a cousin of the equally deadly Ebola virus - part of the filovirus family - and it kills on average half of those infected, the WHO says."

"No vaccines or anti-viral treatments have been approved to treat the virus, the WHO has said,
but it adds that rehydration with oral or intravenous fluids has improved survival. "

Just a note that Marburg is a city in Germany, lovely, and home to a venerable University.

No one in Germany apparently demanding an antiseptic name change for the virus.

Virus transmission :
"The virus spreads through direct contact (such as through broken skin or mucous membranes in the eyes, nose, or mouth) with:
Blood or body fluids (urine, saliva, sweat, feces, vomit, breast milk, amniotic fluid, and semen) of a person who is sick with or has died from Ebola/Marburg virus disease (EVD).
Objects (such as clothes, bedding, needles, and medical equipment) contaminated with body fluids from a person who is sick with or has died from EVD.
Infected fruit bats or nonhuman primates (such as apes and monkeys).
Semen from a man who recovered from EVD (through oral, vaginal, or anal sex).

The virus can remain in certain body fluids (including semen) of a patient who has recovered from EVD, even if they no longer have symptoms of severe illness.

Just a reminder: Over-the-counter antihistamines disrupt the feedback cycle that results in cytokine storm.

Cytokine storm is how diseases like this kill.

Therefore, if you’re afraid it might spread to your area, it would be prudent to stock up on Claritin.

Heal the sick, raise the dead, make disciples (teach a better way). Beats nuking the sick and having these problems.

I saw something on Bloomberg this morning that said Monkeypox was up to 45,000 cases world wide.
I thought it had died out.
