Genius1111 Posted February 11, 2023 Posted February 11, 2023 (edited) Quote The symptoms of the "non-identified illness" were nose bleeds, fever, joint pain and other ailments that caused death within a few hours, the head of health for the district, Ngu Fankam Roland, said in a statement. Hopefully this will be dealt swiftly by the authorities. Edited April 1, 2023 by Genius1111
Bicassie Posted February 11, 2023 Posted February 11, 2023 rip to those people i hope it does not spread
MingYouToo Posted February 11, 2023 Posted February 11, 2023 given these very sparse details and im too lazy to research more about this breaking news, there is a bit of comfort in knowing this kills you in hours after symptomatic onset If it remains asymptomatic for weeks until it starts showing and kills you in hours (w COVID u can tell its not as high of a mortality rate bc of how it causes olfactory dysfunction d/t inflammation days before the heavy breathing/dyspnea), pathology that can kill you very quickly tend to not be very viral agents (aka they dont transmit very well). Hoping this is simply an isolated case in New Guinea. Source: med student
Daddy Posted February 11, 2023 Posted February 11, 2023 Every time I log in here there's a new health scare. Over it... It does sound like Ebola tho?

Im too tired i just wanna cackle on this side. Point is I pray for wherever place this incident happened in. My bad.
Dekkan Posted February 11, 2023 Posted February 11, 2023 High and rapid mortality usually goes hand in hand with poor infectious capacity, so this is definitely not a new pandemic y'all. Let's hope the government of Equatorial Guinea is able to prevent it from spreading and killing more in the country.

Harrier Posted February 11, 2023 Posted February 11, 2023 sounds like an ebola outbreak, I hope authorities can protect ppl in eq guinea from further spread
Taylucifer Posted February 11, 2023 Posted February 11, 2023 yeah if something kills too fast then there’s less chance of transmission source: i play Plague Inc.
