1. Damn...........

15. It's a lie?

Why do you say that?

[Scrivener7]

20. Here are other sources:

22. "according to media reports"

But having been admonished about tone, I'm out.

24. I don't know about this particular story, but neither of those sources are particularly reliable.

Daily Mail has been pretty shaky for as long as I can remember.

I wasn't familiar with with India Today, so I checked with Media Bias/Fact Check:

https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/india-today/

Again, I don't know about this particular story, they may have gotten it right

25. This is getting weird and silly. This isn't a fake.

2. That's not just worse than Covid

That’s worse than Ebola … less than 24 hrs ?!?

“ nasal bleeding that worsens after death “ wut ?



✌🏻

3. Poorly said

With hemorrhagic diseases such as the Marburg virus, victims bleed from every orifice before finally succumbing to severe dehydration and blood loss. When they die, they bleed out the nose.

Its horrific.

4. Something has to take us out...

We have become like an infestation on the planet. Something in the natural world will deal with us. Virus is a fast actor as we have seen. I just hope that when I go, I won't be scared and it won't be too ugly.

5. The last paragraph:

The “strange” illness discovered in Lindi, according to Tanzania’s President Samia Suluhu Hassan, may have been brought on by “growing interaction” between people and wild animals.

It would be a zoonotic disease if the virus had spread from an animal to people.

According to the WHO, zoonotic illnesses are becoming more and more of an issue in Africa.

[2naSalit]

12. I hadn't invested that much into it...

Sounded a bit alarmist.

[Delmette2.0]

23. I agree.

Nature will always find a way to control us or destroy us.

[PortTack]

6. A virus that kills within 24 hrs is not as big a threat for obvious reasons. Not to say this isn't

Horrific..it is!

[2naSalit]

13. Thanks!

I was thinking I had heard this before and since it's not a source anyone's heard of, I read the post but not the article.

[stopdiggin]

16. thank you. for putting the effort in .. .-(nt)-

[Scrivener7]

21. There are other sources reporting it.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-11916111/Three-die-mystery-nosebleed-causing-disease-Burundi-amid-fears-virus-spread.html

And Burundi is a tiny country on the border of Tanzania.

[Tomconroy]

14. Is there a Burundi Institute of Virology?

[milestogo]

17. Probably not, although they are able to test for these viruses in-country.

South Africa has some pretty advanced virology.
