In case you missed it.
More bad tidings from Africa.
Instapundit had this earlier today. It sounds like the “English Sweat” which is going to get some attention because of the Masterpiece Theatre “Wolf Hall” series they are showing.
Thomas Cromwell’s wife and 2 daughters died of this. It really freaked me out when I read the book and it really freaked hubby out when we watched the TV show.
Basically: there you are, all fine and dandy, then you are a tad under the weather then you are pretty sick, maybe raving or delusional, and then you are stone cold dead, and that’s the next day - or later in the same day.
I googled it and what some think is that “the sweat” was a version of hanta virus, which is bad and led to some unexplicable deaths in the American Southwest not too long ago.
So, there’s my 2 cents, fwiw.
