What do we know about the victim that makes you feel this is some form of karmic retribution? I didn't read the article, just the post, but in the OP and quotes, it just references him earning his living as a game hunter. Was he killing endangered species or something?
In his ignorance he probably thought all game hunters are trophy hunters and didn't realize the vast majority hunt for food. Even trophy hunters, most of the animal is used for food. There's hardly any waste. Some people are just uneducated on the subject though and think game hunters are evil.
I have butchered domestic meat from childhood on...have hunted and killed wild animals only for meat....I watched Shocky murder an adult Mountain Grizzly bear on TV last night and almost vomitted from anger.....Trophy hunting should have been outlawed 50 years ago and Predator hunting for sport should have been abolished 50 years ago....it is time for drastic change in the name of preserving meat hunting and subsistance HARVESTING....remove the bloodsport of predator killing and you cant really call it hunting you have to call it harvesting.Predators should be culled only when necessary never "hunted" and meat animls should be HAARVESTED....we should remove the word HUNT from our vocabulary and add some morality to our world in an area where we have been slow to evolve.
Call it whatever you want, in most cases the meat is put to good use. Whether you make a coat or a rug out of the hide is kinda grasping at straws. The animal is dead either way, and it died for a natural purpose, so other animals can live. We are part of nature, no matter how much you want to pretend we're not.

If I didn't already believe we were in the 'end times' I would be convinced by now.
We are the 'end times.'
I know I shouldn't say this and people will think I'm a bigger asshole than their earlier estimates told them. Here goes...
There are too many of us on this planet and we're heading for trouble. We're going to struggle to have enough clean drinking water and we aren't collectively smart enough to produce enough food for everyone in the future.
City roads are full with cars, countries have housing crises, economic migrants are causing unrest and the seas and atmosphere are increasingly polluted.
A recent study says population growth is going to hit tipping point in about 40 years. They highlight how agriculture won't be able to cope with providing the calories to keep us all alive. We don't produce food efficiently; we waste too much. We don't transport food efficiently; we import stuff from thousands of miles away we could grow in our own countries. We're overfishing the seas and yada yada you've m heard it all before.
Circumstantial evidence points to humans being responsible for the extinctions of 'mega-fauna.' Some argue that climate changes killed them all or it was only natural selection at work so who cares?
Maybe it's our turn to have a 'thinning the herd' moment?

Lots of scientists working in labs all around the world, I wouldn't be surprised if this was released intentionally. Maybe a trial version to see what it's capable of?
I would have to agree there. These things don't just "evolve" out of nowhere. It was made in a lab somewhere.

The next King of England must be happy and cheering it on since he recently came out and said there are too many people alive today.

As long only game hunters are infected I am fine with that..
And should it be the end of us all.. I guess we can see it as a punishment for our treatment of other species.

I shouldn't worry too much, like Ebola, Marburg is a fast killer and people tend not to be able to travel when they are bleeding from their eyes, ears etc.
The caregivers scatter out of an area with an outbreak, they get on modern planes and get back to civilization in hours. Not all of them but the few who don't have a death wish will leave the areas, and travel before symptoms are bad enough. They land in their nations and get carted to clinics and boom, world wide epidemic.
