In something straight out of someone’s worst nightmare, it appears that one of the deadliest known diseases to man is spreading unchecked right now in Africa.
The news that an Ebola-like virus has been confirmed in Equatorial Guinea is enough to give anyone screaming nightmares.
We love Trump reports. An Ebola-like virus known as Marburg has been confirmed in Equatorial Guinea. Marburg has spread to the country for the first time. The virus has caused nine confirmed deaths so far.
Last week, the small Central African country quarantined more than 200 people and restricted movement in its Kie-Ntem province after detecting an unknown hemorrhagic fever. As a precaution against contagion, Cameroon also restricted movement along its border.
The WHO stated “In addition to the nine deaths, Equatorial Guinea has reported 16 suspected cases of Marburg virus with symptoms including fever, fatigue and blood-stained vomit and diarrhea”

Marburg virus disease causes haemorrhagic fever with a fatality ratio of up to 88%. It is in the same family as the virus that causes Ebola virus disease. Many patients develop severe hemorrhagic symptoms within seven days.
Dr. Matshidiso Moeti, WHO’s Regional Director for Africa stated “Marburg is highly infectious, Thanks to the rapid and decisive action by the Equatorial Guinean authorities in confirming the disease, emergency response can get to full steam quickly so that we save lives and halt the virus as soon as possible.”
The World Health Organization released a statement saying “Advance teams have been deployed in the affected districts to trace contacts, isolate and provide medical care to people showing symptoms of the disease, Efforts are also underway to rapidly mount emergency response, with WHO deploying health emergency experts.”
Health officials in Kie-Ntem province and the Mongomo District in neighboring Wele-Nzas province have declared a health alert. Over 4,300 people have been quarantined in the affected area as a result of the lockdowns.
In the past decade, few cases of Marburg have been reported, and the current outbreak in Equatorial Guinea appears to be the largest since at least 2012, when 18 people were infected in Uganda. Angola suffered its worst outbreak in 2004-05, killing 227 of 252 people.
Out of all of the scariest viruses on this planet the marburg virus is in the top three, with only ebola having a higher fatality rate. This outbreak could not come at a worse time with the world being close to global conflict, weak leaders in a vast majority of nations, and a weakened WHO after the coronavirus response. Our thoughts and prayers are with the people of Equatorial Guinea, and we pray that they can contain this horrific virus.

It was just a few weeks ago that billy gates said that something ten thousand times worse was coming to Africa. Wanna bet that gates may have had something to do with this one, the guy has a complex where he thinks he is the greatest thing in the known universe. Gates is closer to the devil even looks like him.
This Marburg virus can very easily find its way to this country through the open southern border which the byden refuses to do anything about. If it does get here how ma y will it put down in very short order. Could this be the next pandemic?
Remember Bill was a school drop out and got kind of famous with his first Widows, I liked XP and W7, the current W10 is a disaster and W11 will be more of the same.
I would never listen to what Bill Gates tells us todo, it makes zero sense.

Does anyone remember that time during Obama's regime when we were told Ebola had infected several people in South Africa?
We were told by the various news outlets covering this story "on the ground" that one of the patients still alive was being brought to the USA via plane...and that this patient would then be transported via ambulance to a medical center in New York "?" where he would then be placed into an Isolation unit inside that medical center.
As a then-active nurse who took isolation procedures very seriously for well over 30 years, I watched as those "medical transport" people
(Doctors? Nurses? Paramedics & EMTs?, poorly-trained monkeys?!)
broke one isolation rule after another during the process of having this "Ebola" patient...who had been reported as being close to death for over 2 weeks...exit the ambulance ON HIS OWN POWER, NOT ON A STRETCHER, while still hooked up to an IV!
And everyone including that patient proceeded to REPEATEDLY TOUCH each other...the inside walls and doors of that ambulance...the OUTSIDE rear door (that had plastic sheeting actually flopping around on its INSIDE as though attached at only the TOP of the door...which would only help a virus to TRAVEL & SPREAD)...and the rear outside door handles.
And they all wore their contaminated isolation suits and unchanged-gloves while going in and out of that ambulance to get things & to put things back inside the area that the "patient" had just exited.
And then they all entered that medical center, the patient walking under his own power while his IV was held up by someone else!
EBOLA IS CONSIDERED TO BE A HIGHLY CONTAGIOUS LEVEL 4 VIRUS WITH, AT MINIMUM, A 90% DEATH RATE ON A GOOD DAY AND A 98% TO 100% DEATH RATE ON A BAD DAY!!! IT TURNS THE VAST MAJORITY OF INFECTED PEOPLE'S INSIDES INTO LIQUID "SOUP"!
There's NO WAY the world's WORST VIRUS would ever be transported via such shoddy means!!!
AND it can cross over into primates.
MARBURG is the SECOND most deadly virus in the world, with a 60% to 80% Death Rate, and SARS is the THIRD, with a 20% to 40% Death Rate!
I'm sure most of us have heard the name "Sars" because it has REPEATEDLY been connected to the word that sounds like "kove-id"!!
Bottom line: WE ARE BEING LIED TO! WE ARE BEING PLAYED! AND THEY ARE WORKING ON KILLING US!!!
AND THE CORRECT INFO ABOUT THESE 3 TOP VIRUSES IS BEING DELETED FROM THE INTERNET!!!
THANKFULLY, I STILL HAVE MY BOOKS!!
Ebola is as very deadly virus if not contained in one region where its originated, total travel ban to and from such regions must be in place.
Hope if Trump wins in 2024 he will get the US again out of WHO, the US doesn't need to be told by this organization which China controls how to control any medical situations.
The US is fit and able to take care of any health issues without WHO telling us what to do!
