Ebola-like Marburg virus is found in West Africa for the first time: Patient in Guinea is killed by disease that causes 88% of sufferers to bleed to death
Daily Mail ^

An Ebola-like virus has been found in West Africa for the first time with a patient in Guinea dying from the extremely fatal disease.

Health authorities in Guinea have confirmed one death from the Marburg virus, a highly infectious hemorrhagic fever which causes suffers to bleed to death, the World Health Organization said on Monday.

The death marks the first time that the deadly disease has been identified in West Africa. There have been 12 major Marburg outbreaks since the virus was first discovered in the German town of the same name in 1967, mostly in southern and eastern Africa. Simultaneous outbreaks also occurred in Frankfurt and Belgrade, Serbia.

Guinea's new case was first identified last week, just two months after the country was declared free of Ebola following a brief flare-up earlier this year that killed 12 people.

The patient, who has since succumbed to the illness, first sought treatment at a local clinic before his condition rapidly deteriorated, the WHO statement said.

Years ago, there was a FR group dealing about a Marburg outbreak.

Lots of posts. Good cross sectional team. Felt like some good work.

Marburg is not a joke.

not a joke at all. Fortunately it is deadly enough that it will not spread easily.

Unfortunately once the “Loss of Function” work is done it will be far worse

Possibly.

Let's see if biden follows obama's Ebola lead and imports active Marburg cases into the USofA.

This should get interesting when Biden lets it crosses the border and has his goons spread it all around the country.

These hemorrhagic fevers all describe as accute scurvy. They should try massive IV Vitamin C—100 to 200 grams a day to start. See Table 1 in the link below:

Ok I am confused.

Back in 1967 thirty-one people came down with Marburg hemorrhagic fever and only seven died. That is 23% mortality not 88%

Is that 88% with no treatment?

Infectious Disease - Ebola-like Marburg virus found in West Africa
Hemorrhagic fever

" An Ebola-like virus has been found in West Africa for the first time with a patient in Guinea dying from the extremely fatal disease.

Health authorities in Guinea have confirmed one death from the Marburg virus, a highly infectious hemorrhagic fever
which causes suffers to bleed to death, the World Health Organization said on Monday.

The death marks the first time that the deadly disease has been identified in West Africa.
There have been 12 major Marburg outbreaks since the virus was first discovered in the German town of the same name in 1967,
mostly in southern and eastern Africa. Simultaneous outbreaks also occurred in Frankfurt and Belgrade, Serbia."

(My Comment): With unrestricted crossings at the southern border, it could come here via open borders, and NO VIRAL TESTING AT THE BORDER (emphasis mine).
This represents the first case of Hemorrhagic fever in West African nations,.. and it is spreading. This is no longer just a health issue, it is now a public safety issue, due to open borders.
