Mystery illness in Tanzania reportedly kills 15 people, leaves victims vomiting blood
New York Post ^ | 2/9/21 | Yaron Steinbuch

At least 15 people have died and more than 50 others hospitalized in Tanzania from a terrifying mystery illness that causes patients to vomit blood, according to reports.

Some of the patients, mostly male, died within hours of developing symptoms in the southern Mbeya region of the country, the Sun reported.

Felista Kisandu, the local chief medical officer, said a team of experts have been dispatched to assess the patients and investigate the cause of their illness.

“This problem has not been widespread,” Kisandu said. “It has happened in just a single administrative ward of Ifumbo where people vomit blood and die when they get to the hospital late.”

She said the cause of their illness has not yet been identified but that the Tanzanian Health Ministry “has ruled out an outbreak,” according to the outlet.

“Initial clinical examinations revealed the patients, mostly men, suffered from stomach ulcers and liver disease,” Kisandu said. “We have advised them to avoid drinking illicit brew, smoking cigarettes and other hard drinks.”

Authorities were testing water samples and patients’ blood for traces of mercury contamination.

Meanwhile, Tanzania’s Health Minister Dorothy Gwajika ordered Kisandu’s suspension after she made her remarks.

True, but vomiting blood and dyeing within hours of developing symptoms has to be distressing.

“...avoid drinking illicit brew...” Sounds like a clue. ;-)

What a coincidence!

The Gateses are going after Tanzania’s president, who had embarrassed their syndicate early on by getting positive Covid tests for a goat and a pawpaw fruit. (No matter that with a doctorate in chemistry Magufuli is far more qualified to weigh in on Covid than the Gateses are.)

I suppose COVID-19 started with one death - and grew from there.

COVID-21 anybody?
