- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rwanda_Marburg_virus_disease_outbreak or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rwanda_Marburg_virus_disease_outbreak ; As of October 3, cases had been reported in seven of the 30 districts in Rwanda. Three districts in Kigali Province reported the highest number of cases, namely Gasabo District, Kicukiro District and Nyarugenge District. Other districts included Nyagatare District and Gatsibo District in the Northeast, which border Tanzania, site of the 2023 Tanzania Marburg virus disease outbreak as well as Rubavu District in the Northwest bordering Democratic Republic of the Congo and Kamonyi District, which is adjacent to Kigali in the center.[18] DJ...so far outbreak seems to-now- be local-in Kigali-Rwanda...maybe new cases even linked to hospital spread... Kigali has a population of 1,8 million+, Rwanda is involved in wars in the DRC/Congo border...Health Care is "limited".... DJ-If there are serious problems there is a risk that help would move away/out...Simply not able to do much - to much risks involved... Wars and ebola-like diseases are a bad mix. There are vaccines for Ebola...NOT for the Marburg viral disease... It comes on top of HIV/AIDS, Mpox, ignored CoViD problems...
