May be a different strain, but the results are the same.......................
E-Flu
I think the main difference is this strain appears to be easier to transmit to others than past strains.
Results are highly dependent on a guy showing up early at the hospital, getting an IV solution, some liquid foods, and fever-control. I think marginal health care in Africa relates to the 90-percent death rate and US rates would end up around 10-percent after a couple of months. Of course, those with other illness factors (over sixty, diabetes, and TB)....would be a different case).
E-Flu
I’m not sure it is a different strain, rather health officials in Guinea didn’t know they were dealing with Ebola for three months. THREE MONTHS. In that time period, the infection spread to a huge number of people and even crossing the borders into Sierra Leone and Liberia. If you look at a map which shows the spread of the disease, you can see its progression. Additionally, once they had identified Ebola, the government’s campaign to inform the public only made villagers suspicious and they refused to bring in people who were getting sick.
