Moon-suited angels are in flight to either bury the dead and cleanse the area where Hell touched, or fight the second wave.

This part is clear to me, it refers to biohazard suits used by every physician and nurse who go into a "hot zone"--an area with a deadly epidemic raging. Marburg is EXTREMELY contagious, level 5 biohazard stuff, and about 99 percent fatal.

Nice to see someone is thinking. But I must correct you on fatality rates. Ebola Zaire is 90% fatal, Ebola Sudan about 60%, Marburg only about 25%, and Ebola Reston thus far only affects primates.
