The virus spread from Uige in northern Angola, to the capital, Luanda, and there were two confirmed deaths there on Thursday, a 15 year-old boy and an Italian pediatrician. A third death is being investigated and at least three others in Luanda have been diagnosed as being positive for Marburg virus.
The two doctors described above raise the number of reported health care worker infections to eight. The large number of infected health care workers and the spread of the virus to the capital, is cause for concern. Because of the relatively long incubation period, more cases are expected.

Our relationship with God has always been centered upon the principle of "Freedom of Choice".
We are free to choose both the good and decent as well as the vile and evil.
But children be not deceived, God also chooses...
On this Good Friday a helpless woman is being killed by starvation and thirst, in the last few words that our Savior spoke were "I Thirst".
Do not choose death for this innocent child of God.

Almighty and Everlasting God, preserver of souls, who dost correct those whom Thou dost love, and for their betterment dost tenderly chastise those whom Thou dost receive, we call upon Thee, O Lord, to grant Thy healing, that the soul of Thy servant, at the hour of its departure from the body, may by the hands of Thy holy Angels be presented without spot unto Thee.
Amen
The bravery under the most dire of conditions that people like this physician show is inspiring. Our prayers for the people and health care providers.
This is scary stuff.
Does this one also have bleeding from the eyes?
