If it is like ebola we got nothing to worry about its transmission rate is way too low

Please


if you do some research there is always something popping up disease-wise in 3RD world countries for decades and decades, until a disease goes airborne and has a high transmission rate, it usually doesn't hit with as much ferocity if it even makes it to the western world. Last 2 out ebola outbreaks seem to burn out very quickly.

Go here and check out all the pathogens and their evolution and


compare COVID to Ebola for example

Africa always has some really nasty diseases, thanks to being a third world country. Prosperous world countries have spent trillions on war, but can't do anything to significantly improve sanitation in third world countries?

Record numbers of 'migrants' have been showing up at the southern border for years now. We know the 'migrants' entering the country aren't given any kind of health assessment before being bussed and flown to cities across the US.

It wouldn't be hard to see where Marburg could rapidly become a serious world problem with a little help from you know WHO.

Interesting history of Marburg....

Marburg virus (MARV) first appeared in August 1967, when laboratory workers in Marburg and Frankfurt, Germany and Belgrade, Yugoslavia (now Serbia) were infected with a previously unknown infectious agent. The 31 patients (25 primary, six secondary infections) developed severe disease that progressed to a fatal outcome in seven of the cases. An additional case showing symptoms of disease was diagnosed retrospectively (reviewed in [1]). The source of infection was traced back to African green monkeys (Chlorocebus aethiops) that had been imported from Uganda and were shipped to all three locations.

We can't touch any voting machines this November. Right?

In this video recorded several months ago, 2 very reputable men, Todd Callender and Ret. Maj Jeffrey Prather make the most far out statement that Marburg is in the jab and will be activated by 3 one minute pulses from 5g.

He also says Marburg outbreak is a done deal from legislation and money allotted.

8:15 min., says there are drugs to treat it. They want to scare us into FEMA camps for shots. Also saying there are foreign agents housed here ready for action.

Marburg - 5G

I remember hearing something about that disease many years ago. I thought it had gotten all cleared up, Is it back again? Is it still as severe as it was long ago?

I am sure it will be this or something else.

Nah, my bet is on TB or 'variation' thereof.

o-oh.... Marburg = a nightmare virus. This one really really scares me.
Seriously, reading the title alone almost gave me a slight panic.

I haven't gotten the time yet to read the article, does it say anything about if the current ebola-zaire vaccines work against the Marburg variant?

edit: nvm, found my answer

will Pfizer announce a new "vaccine" that just needs an EUA to be administered to everyone on the planet?

It isn't an airborne virus. Much easier to contain. Airborne viruses are spread much more easily. I wouldn't be too concerned.

I apologize I'm not singling you out but, hell my friend, we should have learned one thing with COVID, is how transmission rates of a pathogen work. COVID was dangerous because its transmission rate was off the charts at first, and people could transmit without knowing they are sick by just walking around. With Marburg and Ebola, you get sick you are incapacitated with oozing sores.

If you don't agree with the above paragraph, then explain the circumstances where Marburg becomes a threat beyond Africa? Right now 1 Marburg patient barely infects 2 more and only those that have direct contact. When they are contagious it's obvious and you have to make direct contact with the sores or pus, not breathe the same air, as with COVID

If you read about Marburg it's not air droplets this doesn't go in the air YOU HAVE TO HAVE DIRECT CONTACT dammit. Are you going to Africa? So unless a chit-ton of people with a disease that has the same characteristics as Ebola have all of sudden materialized in the western world and you have direct contact with them before they croak, you are going to be fine.

additionally here's the scoop and I apologize it's Wikipedia but it has a better synopsis than any other place I've found.

en.wikipedia.org...

Many candidate vaccines have been developed and tested in various animal models.[34][35][36] Of those, the most promising ones are DNA vaccines[37] or based on Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus replicons,[38] vesicular stomatitis Indiana virus (VSIV)[35][39] or filovirus-like particles (VLPs)[36] as all of these candidates could protect nonhuman primates from marburgvirus-induced disease. DNA vaccines have entered clinical trials.[40] Marburgviruses are highly infectious, but not very contagious. They do not get transmitted by aerosol during natural MVD outbreaks. Due to the absence of an approved vaccine, prevention of MVD, therefore, relies predominantly on quarantine of confirmed or high probability cases, proper personal protective equipment, and sterilization and disinfection.

Endemic zones
The natural maintenance hosts of marburg viruses remain to be identified unequivocally. However, the isolation of both MARV and RAVV from bats and the association of several MVD outbreaks with bat-infested mines or caves strongly suggests that bats are involved in marburg virus transmission to humans. Avoidance of contact with bats and abstaining from visits to caves is highly recommended, but may not be possible for those working in mines or people dependent on bats as a food source.[citation needed]

During outbreaks
Since marburgviruses are not spread via aerosol, the most straightforward prevention method during MVD outbreaks is to avoid direct (skin-to-skin) contact with patients, their excretions and body fluids, and any possibly contaminated materials and utensils. Patients should be isolated, but still are safe to be visited by family members. Medical staff should be trained in and apply strict barrier nursing techniques (disposable face mask, gloves, goggles, and a gown at all times). Traditional burial rituals, especially those requiring embalming of bodies, should be discouraged or modified, ideally with the help of local traditional healers.[41]

Marburg doesn't cause oozing sores.

severe symptoms are hemorrhaging, bruising and (internal) bleeding and vomiting.
It's a good thing only body fluids are contagious and symptoms are recognizable...

Still, Monkey pox made it all around the world, same thing could happen with Ebola. Should it happen, and I really hope it doesn't, then I hope ppl will know the symptoms and not run in to help a person who is on the floor bleeding from every body opening because they don't know what is wrong with him...

I know, doom porn

People needs to stop eating bush meat in the wild, but that is the way of life for many in countries like Africa in areas where resources are scarce.

I am sure Democrats will welcome the infected with open arms in the US, specially across our open border.

Please Kindra LOL it had to dumbed down a bit, the point remains here is the quote form the OP

The disease, a very infectious hemorrhagic fever in the same family as Ebola, is spread to people by fruit bats and transmitted among people through direct contact with bodily fluids of infected people and surfaces, WHO said.

it still requires direct contact AND IS NOT AIRBORNE as some here have insisted. I was using the example of "it's just like Ebola", In transmission, you have to have direct contact. With Ebola you have to have direct contact with the open sores, the sores and pus aren't aerosol ie in the air. Ebola transmission rate is extremely low and so is Marburg

www.cdc.gov...

Transmission
Bat cage in the woods
African fruit bats (Rousettus aegyptiacus) flying outside a cave and observation platform in western Uganda.
It is unknown how Marburg virus first spreads from its animal host to people; however, for the 2 cases in tourists visiting Uganda in 2008, unprotected contact with infected bat feces or aerosols are the most likely routes of infection.

After this initial crossover of virus from host animal to people, transmission occurs through person-to-person contact. The virus spreads through direct contact (such as through broken skin or mucous membranes in the eyes, nose, or mouth) with:

Blood or body fluids* (urine, saliva, sweat, feces, vomit, breast milk, amniotic fluid, and semen) of a person who is sick with or died from Marburg virus disease, or
Objects contaminated with body fluids from a person who is sick with or has died from Marburg virus disease (such as clothes, bedding, needles, and medical equipment).
Semen from a man who recovered from MVD (through oral, vaginal, or anal sex). The virus can remain in certain body fluids (including semen) of a patient who has recovered from MVD, even if they no longer have symptoms of severe illness. There is no evidence that Marburg virus can spread through sex or other contact with vaginal fluids from a woman who has had MVD.
Spread of the virus between people has occurred in close environments and among direct contacts. A common example is through caregivers in the home or in a hospital (nosocomial transmission).

In previous outbreaks, people who have handled infected non-human primates or have come in direct contact with their body fluids have become infected with Marburg virus. Laboratory exposures can also occur when lab staff handle live Marburg virus.

Discussion about it in Africa and its effects is supremely different than suggesting, inferring, or posing that it's a threat as COVID was worldwide. I love good doom porn but this isn't even close to COVID and COVID was hyped to the max.

I didn't read sarcasm in your post.

It may not deserve Big Doom Porn at this point,
but Marburg IS the nr 1 killervirus on this planet. In my opinion it's worth to keep eyes on it

There is a book I read back in the 80s called the Hot Zone, and it is still good and even more current for today. One thing it talked about was with these high death rate viruses kill off the host too quickly, so that limits the range it spreads, and they are not typically air born, but the book talked about a case where monkey Ebola did spread between two lab rooms with no connection but air vents.

YES, by Richard Preston!

I have his book "Ebola the killervirus", read it for the first time in the 90ties I think. probably the remake of The HotZone. It was this book that made me say that Marburg is my worst nightmare

Marburg and/or Monkey Pox can be serious and deadly without me being concerned it is gonna now have super powers and have a pathology that it has never exhibited ever.

further, if you believe COVID was a conspiracy and forced upon us, do we really believe after it failed now the shadowy PTB will try and pull the same trick?

If there is the legendary PTB, they must love how we jump at shadows and strange noises.

This coronavirus also wasn't infectious to humans until the furin cleavage site was changed to a 19 nucleotide sequence that exists no where else in nature but only exists in Moderna patents from 5-10 years ago. Who is to say this isn't a gain of function Marburg with enhanced transmisibility?

All we need now is a break of Malburg at the border with Mexico with all the people trying to cross over and been in close proximity.

Hard to keep track of infected once they get lost in the US after been released.

If it is so and we are heading down some really dark path there is nothing you or I can do about it in the end. One thing I can do is not stress myself thinking about every evil event that may happen, taking 10 years off my life span always stressed about the "what it" until my heart gives out.
