There have been a dozen major Marburg outbreaks since 1967, mostly in southern and eastern Africa. Fatality rates have varied from 24% to 88% in past outbreaks, according to the World Health Organization.

DAKAR — Ghana has officially confirmed two cases of the Marburg virus, a highly infectious disease similar to Ebola, its health service said on Sunday, after two people who later died tested positive for the virus earlier this month.

Tests conducted in Ghana came back positive on July 10, but the results had to be verified by a laboratory in Senegal for the cases to be considered confirmed, according to the World Health Organization.

“Further testing at the Institute Pasteur in Dakar, Senegal has corroborated the results,” Ghana Health Service (GHS) said in a statement.

GHS is working to reduce any risk of the virus spreading, including the isolation of all identified contacts, none of whom have developed any symptoms so far, it said.

For those who may not be aware, Marburg virus was a commonly researched biological weapons candidate. I say “was” because nobody is supposed to be doing that anymore. Officially, that is.

Biden is probably flying some over to the Southern border. Diversity makes us stronger if it doesn't kill us.

Marburg’s in Europe. The disease is African. This is as clear a case of cultural appropriation as I’ve seen in a long time.
