A man who died in West Africa has tested positive for the Ebola-like Marburg virus — with health officials scrambling to stop the killer disease before it can “spread far and wide,” the World Health Organization said.
Ebola and Marburg are so lethal that they kill their victims before they can spread the virus widely. They are considered inefficient viruses as opposed to something like AIDS, which can take decades to be lethal to the host. This statement by the WHO is irresponsible and inaccurate.
