The Next Big Thing: Marburg

There have been some small localized outbreaks of Marburg lately in Equatorial Guinea and Tanzania. In the real world, Marburg was identified in 1967 and is killed way more than four people. Frequently, these outbreaks will begin with mine workers who go down into areas that are infested with bats. And then they may spread it to family members. Just because we've seen a few small pockets of cases abroad doesn't mean that we should panic,. But it's wise for medical professionals to keep an eye on those kinds of things.
