Marburg is an especially scary virus. How scared should we be of Rwanda's outbreak?

The idiot leftists who want millions of disease-ridden foreigners to come to the west are also the same people who love masks/vax/lockdowns. Their entire worldview is a complete mess. No common sense. Leftists are destroying our world and it’s gotta stop.

Since it’s named after Marburg, Germany and has killed several people there over the years starting in the late ‘60s, they should know pretty quickly if it’s that.

It’s killed only about 500 people around the world (but who can really know the toll in Africa), but has a death rate of about 25%.

Could be scary if that’s what it is.

Marburg, which is not airborne, can be transmitted by exposure to fruit bats and between people via body fluids through unprotected sex and broken skin. …
So did these two sick people on the train have sex with the person they allegedly treated?

According to German media reports tests on the student and his girl-friend have come back negative. Maybe they just caught the flu. In any case it´s not Marburg, thank God.
