The virus has an estimated fatality rate of between 40% and 75%, according to the WHO

Apparently this level of lethality means a disease is easier to control. Supposedly the ebola virus was kept from being a pandemic for this reason. Not saying I know a lot about it, but the coronavirus is the opposite, some people go around spreading that and don't have symptoms

I wouldnt start worrying yet, or if you want to you could worry about the Marburg
