    Marburg virus is a highly infectious disease that can have a fatality rate of up to 88%, according to the WHO. There are no vaccines or antiviral treatments approved to treat it.

    88% fatality rate means it probably won't get a chance to spread to any significant degree.

    What every comes will come, or it won't, like the weather. As far as the WHO their credibility was flushed down the toilet long ago. I'm done listening to Gubmint or the organizations they fund because they are all bought and paid for by someone that has no interest in my health.
    Mostly bought off by China.

    Question is this a natural outbreak or a Wuhan gain of function outbreak/test.
    Natural. It happens down there.

    Talk about a case of fear mongering. This virus has been around for a long time. It was "discovered" because it infected some people in Europe. Who knows how long it had been around before that.

    MVD appears in sporadic outbreaks throughout sub-Saharan Africa. Many past outbreaks started with male mine workers in bat-infested mines. The virus then spread within their communities through cultural practices, within families, and among healthcare staff. It is possible that isolated cases occur occasionally, as well, but go unrecognized.
    Cases of MVD in people have occurred outside Africa but are infrequent. In addition to the 1967 laboratory exposures in Europe that led to the discovery of the virus, a Dutch tourist developed MVD after returning to the Netherlands from Uganda in 2008, and subsequently died. That same year, an American traveler developed MVD after returning to the US from Uganda and recovered. Both travelers had visited a well-known cave inhabited by fruit bats in a national park. See the History of Outbreaks table for a chronological list of known cases and outbreaks.
