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.

Biden and his "China owned thugs' will NEVER close the border to protect Americans - nope, that's 'racist'.

Instead George Soros will set up non-profits so diseased Africans can be flown to Texas, then walked across the border, put on buses and planes, and deposited in red states to kill Americans and discredit Republican Governors.

Nifty little plan there Hitler. Oops, I mean Biden....

The virus caused an outbreak in lab workers in Germany in 1977.

But when I worked in Liberia in 1980, I heard the story of an outbreak in a nearby country...

One of our male nurses was one of the few who survived the disease, and the doctors used his plasma to treat new cases.
