Why are so many unusual outbreaks of disease suddenly happening all
over the planet?  We were already dealing with a seemingly endless
global pandemic coming into 2022, and so far this year a bird flu
pandemic has resulted in the deaths of tens of millions of our
chickens and turkeys, the worst monkeypox outbreak in history has
spread like wildfire in the western world, and now it is being
reported that there is an outbreak of the Marburg Virus in Africa.  We
have already lost our opportunity to contain monkeypox, and that is
really bad news.  But if authorities are not able to successfully
contain this new Marburg outbreak, we could potentially be facing a
scenario that is downright apocalyptic.

The new outbreak of the Marburg Virus is happening in Ghana.  The two
victims that have died so far did not know each other, and officials
believe that this is evidence that “the disease is spreading more
widely”…

    Two people are believed to have died from the extremely deadly
Marburg virus in Ghana as officials gear up for a potential outbreak.

    The patients, from the country’s southern Ashanti region, were not
known to each other, suggesting the disease is spreading more widely.

    Initial tests came back positive for the virus and the samples are
being reanalysed by the World Health Organization (WHO).

Global health authorities have always warned that the Marburg virus is
a good candidate for a horrifying global pandemic because it can have
a very long incubation period.  The following information comes from
the World Health Organization…

    The incubation period (interval from infection to onset of
symptoms) varies from 2 to 21 days.

    Illness caused by Marburg virus begins abruptly, with high fever,
severe headache and severe malaise. Muscle aches and pains are a
common feature. Severe watery diarrhoea, abdominal pain and cramping,
nausea and vomiting can begin on the third day. Diarrhoea can persist
for a week. The appearance of patients at this phase has been
described as showing “ghost-like” drawn features, deep-set eyes,
expressionless faces, and extreme lethargy.

All of that sounds terrible, but the next stage of the disease is
truly nightmarish…

    Many patients develop severe haemorrhagic manifestations between 5
and 7 days, and fatal cases usually have some form of bleeding, often
from multiple areas. Fresh blood in vomitus and faeces is often
accompanied by bleeding from the nose, gums, and vagina. Spontaneous
bleeding at venepuncture sites (where intravenous access is obtained
to give fluids or obtain blood samples) can be particularly
troublesome. During the severe phase of illness, patients have
sustained high fevers. Involvement of the central nervous system can
result in confusion, irritability, and aggression. Orchitis
(inflammation of one or both testicles) has been reported occasionally
in the late phase of disease (15 days).

    In fatal cases, death occurs most often between 8 and 9 days after
symptom onset, usually preceded by severe blood loss and shock.

The largest previous outbreak of the disease was in 2005.

During that outbreak, 88 percent of the victims died…

    The largest outbreak to date was in Angola in 2005, when 374
caught the virus and 329 died – a fatality rate of 88 percent.

A disease that has a death rate of way less than one percent ended up
paralyzing much of the planet for months on end.

So what do you think will happen if the Marburg Virus becomes a true
global pandemic?

Needless to say, the panic would be off the charts, and there is no
cure and no vaccine…

    The Marburg virus is a top concern for public health officials who
are worried about the next pandemic. It has the potential to cause
serious public health emergencies but there are currently no vaccines
or antiviral treatments approved to treat the virus.

Meanwhile, the number of monkeypox cases continues to rise at an
exponential rate.

When I wrote about monkeypox yesterday, there were 7,534 global cases.
Unfortunately, Friday was the worst day for this outbreak so far by a
very wide margin, and now there are 9,109 global cases.

I had been hoping that this outbreak would fade after the initial
spike of cases, but instead it seems to be rapidly picking up
momentum.

Here in the United States, it has already spread to 39 different
states and the total number of cases has now risen to 790.

If the number of cases continues to double at a very fast pace, it
won’t be too long before we have a major national crisis on our hands.

Let us hope that doesn’t happen, because this is a disease that you
definitely do not want to get.

This highly mutated version of monkeypox causes extremely intense
pain.  In fact, one victim that was interview by NBC News said that it
was “the worst pain in my life”.

Since monkeypox causes very ugly sores on the skin, many have
suggested that this sounds eerily similar to a future scenario that I
described in my books.

But we don’t know if monkeypox will become a true global pandemic yet.
We will just have to wait and see what happens.

Of course COVID has been a global pandemic for a long time, and now it
is being reported that a new subvariant that is becoming dominant in
the western world is “the worst so far”…

    The latest subvariant of the novel coronavirus to become dominant
in Europe, the United States, and other places is also, in many ways,
the worst so far.

    The BA.5 subvariant of the basic Omicron variant appears to be
more contagious than any previous form of the virus. It’s apparently
better at dodging our antibodies, too—meaning it might be more likely
to cause breakthrough and repeat infections.

Despite everything that they have tried, authorities have failed to
stop this pandemic.  Our planet has been hit by wave after wave, and
now hospitalizations in the U.S. are spiking once again…

    Eighteen states reported more cases in the week of June 30-July 7
than in the week before, according to a USA TODAY analysis of Johns
Hopkins University data.

    That has also led to a rise in hospitalizations, with hospitals in
40 states reporting more COVID-19 patients than a week earlier.
Thirty-eight states had more patients in intensive care beds, and 17
states reported more deaths than a week earlier.

Personally, I am far, far more concerned about monkeypox.

If the number of monkeypox cases continues to explode like it has
been, it won’t be too long before there is widespread panic among the
general public.

And if the Marburg Virus starts getting loose in the western world we
will be facing a scenario that is absolutely unthinkable.

So hopefully authorities in Africa are on top of this, because the
death toll from a full-blown global pandemic would be off the charts.
