The interval between the onset of symptoms and death has been 48 hours in the majority of cases, and “that’s what’s really worrying,” Serge Ngalebato, medical director of Bikoro Hospital, a regional monitoring center, told The Associated Press.
The latest disease outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo began on Jan. 21, and 419 cases have been recorded including 53 deaths.
According to the WHO’s Africa office, the first outbreak in the town of Boloko began after three children ate a bat and died within 48 hours following hemorrhagic fever symptoms.
Unless there’s a longer dormant period where this is contagious, but shows no symptoms, this disease kills too quickly to become a world pandemic.
That’s true with a higher mortality rate.
It has killed around 10 percent of victims, so it can be spread by the rest.
That’s looking on the bright side of things I guess
Anyone that’s played plague Inc knows how this goes. It’s not a winning strategy.
Yeah but one of these days a virus is going to get smart and start up in New Zealand and Madagascar. Chuck in a long asymptomatic (edit: contagious period) and game over.
Come to think of it, why haven’t viruses done this yet? What are they, stupid?
What I never got about this game is that when the virus mutates, ALL copies of that virus mutate in the exact same way. Couldn’t they make a realistic version?
A realistic version would be pretty boring. That’s basically the same as just working for the CDC.
Under this administration, working for the CDC is probably not as boring as it usually is.
Asymptomatic until ready then the whole tree in one minute
we could all just move to greenland and close the ports
Oh shit bro delete this. We don’t need to be giving Trump any ideas.
It’s a bit of a toss up for me between staying in virus plagued USA or locating to Trump’s new monarchy in Greenland.
Hello! I’m from New Zealand. Why is the scenario of a virus starting here a bad thing?
It’s a Plague Inc. joke. In this game, you’re the virus/bacteria, or whatever other disease. You guide the virus’s evolution with the aim to destroy humanity.
The virus slowly spreads across the earth through planes, boats, etc.
There are a few really isolated spots, including New Zealand, that are hard to get to and they often seal their borders very quickly. When that happens you lose.
So the smart first step is to start the virus in one of the hard to reach places.
Originally Pandemic 2… i miss flash games lol
I propose the Republican’s private islands wherever they are.
I learned how to be in a relationship from visual novels.
