"The cure they are selling is a sort of soup based on plants, most of the time. They administer it in the rectum. For the vaccine, there is a drink," Formenty said. "Most of them have claimed to have treated hundreds, if not thousands, of Marburg patients."
Thanks for posting today. I have had a feeling, with no facts to back it up (just my judgement and reasoning from what I've learned) that the case numbers were magnitudes of order higher than anything that was reported.
The 4000 mattresses thing--that HAS to indicate that actual cases are likely up to 10 times higher than the Angolans or anyone is reporting. That, and the reported level of panic--for a province with a population in the millions to be panicking over a disease that claimed less than 500 lives in the past 4-5 months did not make sense--until today. After all, mortality from normal diseases there is pretty high, and no one panics...
This really is a nightmare. God have mercy on Angola!
