Fears are growing of a major health crisis in East Africa as a girl died of a suspected fever which could be more deadly than the Black Death.

A nine-year-old girl died in central Uganda with the symptoms of an eye-bleeding disease which it is thought could kill up to 40 per cent of those infected by it.

The feared outbreak comes only months after hundreds of people were killed by the plague in Madagascar in what was described as the worst bout for 50 years.

They haven't identified it by name yet, it seems, except to say it's similar to Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever.  **nononono*

Probably already is.  No telling how many immigrants and illegals have some undetected disease which has increased the risk among long time American citizens.  The only test required of LEGAL immigrants is a TB test.

I’m being somewhat sarcastic, but how long until we hear some Ds say that Trump had them infected to prove that Uganda is indeed a shithole?

A HORRIFIC new disease which makes blood to ooze from the eyes could be about to bring fresh misery to Africa.

Medics are concerned they are on the verge of a health emergency —  worse that the Black Death outbreak last year — after the sudden death of a girl in the Nakaseke district of Uganda.  ...

Usually this vile disease spread by tick bites or contact with infected livestock and  cause muscle pains, headaches, vomiting, diarrhoea and bleeding - and even death.  ...   The Sun

Right.

And we/Govt had a meltdown flying Ebola patients back here to treat them and cure them.

That stopped and dropped out of the news like it got hit by a hammer, within weeks.

Nice to think the B'bleep have collected enough of That horror to have any variances in the strains Identified and being weaponized, somewhere off the radar today.

Isn't it odd how Ebola, avian flu, Zika, et al., so quickly disappeared from the news and, apparently, from public health? It's a miracle!

And if there's ever enough of a lapse in security for them to get caught with it, the story will be it was a Top Secret Program to develop vaccines for them.
