Seriously Marburg is like my biggest fear and it is not irrational shut up, because as far as ways humans can die go, it is one of the most horrific, and up until now I have been consoled by the fact that its incubation is so short and its mortality rate so high that generally it kills infected people before they can cross the ocean and spread it to our shores.
EXCEPT NOW IT IS HERE.
It's fantastic that the guy actually survived, considering that the fatality rate of the last Marburg outbreak was over 90%, but. IT IS HERE. OH MY GOD.
