...and pestilences,.. Matthew 24:7
"The West African country of Guinea has confirmed its first Ebola
deaths since 2016 as the World Health Organization (WHO) is 
ramping up
to combat the new declared outbreak there.At least three people
have died from the deadly disease with another half-dozen people testing
positive. On Sunday Guinea's National Health Security Agency called the
new outbreak an "epidemic situation".
Reuters describes, "The seven patients fell ill with diarrhea, vomiting and bleeding
after attending a burial in Goueke sub-prefecture. Those still alive
have been isolated in treatment centers, the health ministry said."
Ebola can kill rapidly and painfully, and is believed spread through bodily fluids. There's growing alarm and panic given the last outbreak in West Africa was so deadly:
The 2013-2016 outbreak of Ebola in West Africa started in Nzerekore, whose proximity to busy borders hampered efforts to contain the virus. It went on to kill at least 11,300 people with the vast majority of cases in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone.
Sporadic
cases have appeared in central Africa in recent years, but currently
the health systems of Guinea and other regional countries is already
under severe strain given the coronavirus pandemic. Guinea has nearly
15,000 COVID-19 cases out of a country of about 12 million, including 84
deaths." Zerohedge
