It kills in 48 hours. Like 417 people have been infected and 50 people have died. Idk if I should be worried. The congo is do deep and remote do people even come and go from there.

I wouldn't be surprised if that is the case Mountaindewed, but I wouldn't worry about it. Viruses and bacteria's, outbreaks, are pretty common globally and are monitored all the time by the scientists and health organisations etc. I remember other localised killer outbreaks that made headlines, Ebola springs to mind and H1N1 and even the AIDS epidemic was pretty staggering. Yes, they'll isolate and contain this new virus no problem.

Sounds awful but we can’t really do nothing about it at the moment. So I’ll try not to think about it. I mean I feel awful for the people and I don’t mean you shouldn’t care about poor people dying but id not worry about it spreading.

[Discombobulated]

I read about it, yes it’s a bit worrying. I read it started with children eating bats. I’m not sure if that’s true but that was similar to covid starting. We can’t control it though so best not to think too much about it.

They are now saying it was likely some kinda poisioning from some contanimated food or water

Or something like that.
