The World Health Organization says that Equatorial Guinea has confirmed its first-ever outbreak of Marburg disease, saying the Ebola-related virus is responsible for at least nine deaths in the tiny Western African country.

In a statement on Monday, the U.N. health agency confirmed the epidemic after samples from Equatorial Guinea were sent to a lab in Senegal to pinpoint the cause of disease after an alert from a local health official last week.

The WHO said there were currently nine deaths and 16 suspected cases with symptoms including fever, fatigue, diarrhea and vomiting. The agency said it was sending medical experts to help officials in Equatorial Guinea stop the outbreak and was also sending protective equipment for hundreds of workers.

Kin to Ebola.

A fatality rate of 23-90% is quite broad

Marbug use to be pretty nasty.  I wonder how effective are the newer treatments.

The article mentions previous outbreaks, the biggest being 252 people in Angola. That one was 90% fatal, but another article that goes into it a bit more seems to indicate that there was little to no medical care available for most of the outbreak.

 

Equatorial Guinea is almost 100% Roman Catholic, so I'm sure it'll be gone by Easter.

A crummy commercial?  Son of a bitch. 

I guess I’ll have to cancel my Spring Break trips to Equatorial Guinea.

Is Marburg an STD?  Because it might affect my spring break too.

Look, we're gonna end up with COVIDbolaflu, and you're gonna like it, okay?

Can we pin this on an oriental country somehow?  Much more accepting to make fun of them
