"Eight new confirmed cases of Marburg disease have been reported in Equatorial Guinea, the World Health Organization (WHO) said on Thursday.
This brings the total of laboratory-confirmed cases to nine and probable cases to 20 since the outbreak of the deadly disease similar to Ebola was declared in February.
Twenty deaths have been reported.
Of the eight new cases, two were reported from the Central African country's Kie-Ntem province, four from the Litoral province and two from Centre-Sur province, the WHO said in a statement.
You might want to add....Marburg comes from a bat (no one seems to argue over that part). Egyptian Rousette bat is the one mentioned....oddly doesn’t seem to weaken it at all.
Friendly reminder that ordinary antihistamines prevent hemorrhagic diseases such as this one from reaching the fatal stage.
Another disease for big pharma to “cure” with an injection of some sorts.
