    I cannot for the life of me imagine the fear and heartbreak of watching your child die in such a horrific way. What a nightmare.

    These hemorrhagic-fever like outbreaks (like Ebola and Marburg) usually don’t spread too far because of how dramatic the symptoms are and of how quickly they usually kill patients: here “death occurs within just 48 hours of the onset of symptoms”.

    “However, here, it is concerning that we have hundreds of cases and over 50 deaths, with hemorrhagic-fever like symptoms widely reported among those cases.” - Michael Head. Current estimate of a “fatality rate of 12.3 percent” is of course a major problem locally, tho that % could be completely wrong.

    If there are few or no asymptomatic carriers, and the incubation is period is short, then it’s unlikely to be like COVID-19.

    Bird flu is still big concern - and potentially the solution to omnicidal anthropogenic climate change.

    That doesn’t sound very credible, tbh, but I guess the original source is the WHO office in Africa which then got reported by CBS who is the source for this NEOSCOPE article.

    Idk why we’re posting articles three steps removed from the source, but whatever.

      I tried to find the WHO source but the website lacks a search feature.

      I had to exit to find The Source which isn’t very informative. They have ruled out the usual suspects but aren’t offering anything as an alternative. And the source is two months old.
