The thing about such a high mortality rate is that it is fairly easy to contain. If you get Marburg or Ebola…you are not traveling very far. That’s why it wipes out villages…but not much else.”

Well not exactly. There are many immune carriers so it will pop up and then burn out quickly.

Depending on the need for F U D. It will trend or not.

Marburg is a man made Chimera, closley related to Natural occurring Lassa.

Are they field testing or is it integrated w/ nature now?

WHO is first going to have to rebuild its credibility. I think that will require a minimum of 50 years, and quite possibly much longer.

And saying it's "for the children" is not going to do the trick.

If they haven’t changed the name of Marburg Virus, this means we can still keep using the term Wuhan Virus - just as I have been all along. Cool.

And there’s the cure: stay out of Africa and Africans stay out of America.

I am sure it will go the same route as the weaponization of the bat virus.

Not even the Chinese are as filthy and free exchanging bodily fluids as Africans, at least the ones China lets travel.

Infectious disease ping

“Surveillance in the field has been intensified,” George Ameh, WHO’s country representative in Equatorial Guinea, was quoted as saying by the Daily Mail during Tuesday’s meeting. “Contact tracing, as you know, is a cornerstone of the response. We have … redeployed the COVID-19 teams that were there for contact tracing and quickly retrofitted them to really help us out.”

Isn't that reassuring since we all know what an awesome job they did with Covid?

Will there be a new virus with the contagiousness of SARS-COV-2 and the symptoms of the Marburg virus? If so, will the anti-mask, anti-vaccination people continue their push to keep others from wearing masks and being vaccinated? Will radio talk shows continue to broadcast long infomercials for snake oil remedies? Stay tuned!

Isn’t that one of the virii from a movie?

The movie about the Marburg virus is called “Outbreak” (1995). While the main plot of the movie revolves around an outbreak of a fictional virus called Motaba in a small California town, there is a subplot involving a Marburg virus infection in Africa. The Marburg virus subplot is based on a real-life outbreak that occurred in Kenya in 1980. In the movie, a group of military doctors must race against time to contain the outbreak and find a cure before it spreads to the rest of the world. The movie stars Dustin Hoffman, Rene Russo, and Morgan Freeman, among others.
