The interval between the onset of symptoms and death has been 48 hours in the majority of cases, and “that’s what’s really worrying,” Serge Ngalebato, medical director of Bikoro Hospital, a regional monitoring center, told The Associated Press.
The latest disease outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo began on Jan. 21, and 419 cases have been recorded including 53 deaths.
According to the WHO’s Africa office, the first outbreak in the town of Boloko began after three children ate a bat and died within 48 hours following hemorrhagic fever symptoms.
Yeah but one of these days a virus is going to get smart and start up in New Zealand and Madagascar. Chuck in a long asymptomatic (edit: contagious period) and game over.
Come to think of it, why haven’t viruses done this yet? What are they, stupid?
What I never got about this game is that when the virus mutates, ALL copies of that virus mutate in the exact same way. Couldn’t they make a realistic version?
A realistic version would be pretty boring. That’s basically the same as just working for the CDC.
Under this administration, working for the CDC is probably not as boring as it usually is.
Asymptomatic until ready then the whole tree in one minute
we could all just move to greenland and close the ports
Oh shit bro delete this. We don’t need to be giving Trump any ideas.
It’s a bit of a toss up for me between staying in virus plagued USA or locating to Trump’s new monarchy in Greenland.
A ton already are!
Most viruses, we don’t even notice them… the really virulent ones cause few, if any symptoms.
We just generally don’t worry about them, is all.
