The Marburg Virus has made it to the capital of Uganda, Kampala. Spreads easy, fast acting, but not as fast as Ebola, which kills before it can spread, like Parrot Fever. Kampala has an airport,

No treatment, 80% death rate. It spreads from person to person, through a cough or sneeze, one guy got it from stealing a cell phone. So unlike HIV, it survives outside the body, transmits with less than direct contact,

For health care workers this is Level Four, full biohazard suits like Andromada Strain.

Five to ten days to incubate, then rapid onset.

An outbreak would send the rich and foreign workers out of the country.

This has all the features of the 1918 Flu, easy to spread, indirect from door knobs and faucets, the person appears to be in good health, and as they said about the Flu, from healthy to dead in twelve hours.

There have been a half dozen recent outbreaks, each seeming to kill more people. Angola, Congo, Uganda.

Perhaps the anti social do have some advantages.

Yeah they prefer to ignore issues like that, especially corporate pigs claiming to help build the economies of third world countries. While the disease and lack of half way decent living conditions remain. They of course do not set up their offices and such in view of that rubbish.

True, living conditions have never been good in Africa, and became much worse when the Colonial Era took the best land for export crops. HIV, Ebola, Marburg, all come from hunting bush meat, monkeys, to live.

Where HIV can be as high as half in Africa, it has managed to reach 5% in America, and higher in Southeast Asia. That took less than 30 years.

Climate, economics, disease, drought, seem to run together and support each other.

The Black Death came from Asia where it was never a problem, but a European population weakened by the Little Ice Age had three die offs, taking as much as 75%. The last wave came as the climate was improving, and it has never returned.

The other side of that was when the climate improved, our reduced plague Europeans went on a breeding rampage, then exported Europeans and death to the world. Small Pox killed the Americas, and perhaps the Flu.

We should pay attention to history.

Now, there is a steady stream of illegal Africans coming into Europe.
