Marburg virus death rate is still extremely high, about 90% of the infected people have already died. This means 193 people out of 218 infected. Each day about five more people die because of the deadly virus. High fever, vomiting, nose starts to bleed. And this goes on until the person's entire organism just collapses.
However, it seems that the local people don't understand how serious the problem is. Instead of getting help from WHO, they prefer to attack WHO's workers, making their work in the area even more difficult. Partly, this is definately the fault of WHO who has been unable to explane the situation to the local people. The locals think that going to the hospital means sure death. So they are trying to avoid it as much as possible. It's difficult to reach the frightened people in Angola, but hopefully things will eventually get better, at least from this side.
There is still no vaccine available against Marburg Virus.
