DISEASE OUTBREAK IN ETHIOPIA. EBOLIA LIKE VIRUS FOUND

As we all (hopefully) know, Addis is the beating heart of the Ethiopian economy- a trader from the south could easily pass on the illness to Addis and from there it could spread to all the regions.

Additionally a trader could pass this on to Kenya, here is a map of livestock trading in the south- very concerning.

Once someone has Marburg symptoms, they’re too sick to travel, we’re talking bedridden and hemorrhaging.

And it doesn’t spread casually anyway, you need direct contact with blood/bodily fluids. It spreads through caregiving, not trading and bumping into anyone.

Symptoms start 8-10 days after infection though, sometimes it happens as fast as 2 days or as slow as 21 days but 8-10 is the average.

Right, but that incubation period doesn’t matter for spread, you’re not going to infect until symptoms appear. Again even then it requires quite mismanaged contact to do so.

Let’s say they do go to a new area and begin having symptoms. It would create a new outbreak cluster there, not regional spread. That’s why you see contained outbreaks, not it racing across trade routes.

So what you are saying is that this will only be an issue in the S. Ethiopia?

Just the specific affected areas. As long as they either treat it properly or at minimum dispose of bodies/contaminated stuff correctly, it stays put.

That’s how these always work, the danger is the immediate area and anyone caring for the sick. It doesn’t spread beyond that unless protocols says to make a soup out of the dead (and even then).

Hope it spread to Amhara and Oromo next it'll be a beautiful thing if that happens.
Bro your a low IQ moron if you want this to spread, it has 50% fatality rate.
