Marburg virus

[Lucifer]

Funny what is called news these days.

Remember SARS? It was going to kill us all. Recently it was bird flu. "Ooh, IF it crosses to humans it will sweep the world and kill us all!"

Well right now the Marburg Virus (first cousin to Ebola) is loose in Africa. It has killed 125 people and has reached the capitol of Angola. It has a 90% kill rate with no cure.

Yet there is amost no mention of it on any major news media. :confused:

Maybe because it hasn't killed enough yet.

Maybe because it hasn't killed enough yet.

How many is enough?

Enough: is about americans or any others?

This is the first reference I have seen to the virus but then I haven't been keeping up with world news lately.
