Spain Detects First Case of Deadly Marburg Virus


Listen. And understand. That Marburg is out there. It can’t be bargained with. It can’t be reasoned with. It doesn’t feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead.

Spain has detected its first suspected case of Marburg disease, a deadly infectious disease that has led to the quarantining of more than 200 people in Equatorial Guinea, health authorities in the Spanish region of the Valencia said on Saturday.

A 34-year-old man, who had recently been in Equatorial Guinea, has been transferred from a private hospital to an isolation unit at the Hospital La Fe in Valencia while tests are carried out, the regional health authorities said.

Marburg virus can have a fatality rate of up to 88%, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). There are no vaccines or antiviral treatments approved to treat it.

The WHO said it was increasing its epidemiological surveillance in Equatorial Guinea.

There are people who still believe in the coronavirus. Virtually everyone believed it to begin with.

They will believe in another one too.

If they question it, Jon Leibowitz will go out there and tell them the Chinese made it in a lab, and then they will totally believe forever.
