After two deadly outbreaks of the rare Marburg virus disease in Africa, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is warning US doctors to be on the lookout for patients exhibiting symptoms.
In the agency’s health advisory, issued Thursday, officials urged clinicians to be vigilant due to the “potential for imported cases.” There are no reported US cases of the virus, and the risk here is low, the CDC said.
Officials recommend doctors assess patients who develop hemorrhagic fevers. MVD can be caused by the Marburg or Ravn viruses, and has appeared this year in two seemingly independent outbreaks in Equatorial Guinea and Tanzania.
“Early identification of MVD or other viral hemorrhagic fevers is important for providing appropriate and prompt patient care and preventing the spread of infection,” the agency stated.
This year’s outbreak of Marburg virus disease, closely related to Ebola, was first reported in Equatorial Guinea in February, involving a cluster of deaths suspected to be caused by a viral hemorrhagic fever. As of Wednesday, 14 MVD cases have been identified in the country including 10 fatalities.

Not falling for their crap anymore.
I have an idea - let’s close the borders!!
Has Fauci got another “gain of function” lab about to have a leak?
If the poofters (with their tendency towards weakened immune systems) aren’t dropping like flies the government probably lies.
Close the borders??
But...but...these folks need a job and it’s only fair to let them in and then spread out around the country.
We don’t want to be mean like Trump.
/sarc
Guinea and Tanzania, come on down. Biden and CDC awaits.
More MRNA vaccines and masks, coming right up! And don’t forget the toilet paper! ;D
What are the chances that it’s release is by design?
Repeat that to yourself several times, giving clear thought to the meaning of the words.
Just giving you a heads up on what’s coming next and rubbing it in.
More fun from Africa.
Marburg virus is a big deal. Deadly in 80-90% of cases. It incapacitates you pretty quickly and is contagious primarily through blood and bodily fluid spatter. It tends to spread in Africa among medical people and civilians who prepare bodies for burial. Marburg is nothing to mess with but unlikely to become widespread here. It just kills too quickly to spread far.
“If the poofters (with their tendency towards weakened immune systems) aren’t dropping like flies the government probably lies.”
The US could use a few more Gay-Plague viruses.
Second verse, same as the first.
In fact, calling a hemorrhagic virus “Ebola” is racist because it names an African point of origin.
