A new pneumonia.
Medical input?
Since doctors don’t know whether it’s a viral or bacterial disease yet, the question is unanswerable from that standpoint; as both HIV and Marburg/Ebola are viruses, it may have no relationship to either one. Since it’s pneumonia, and not a hemorrhagic fever or a massive immune system breakdown, it’s not remotely like either one.
Why?
This is being discussed in the GQ thread Asia Pnumonia - bio-weapon accidentally released? as well as the MPSIMS thread Attention- physicians, Biologists, Epidemiologists, Virologists & Others! Alert! so I’ll close this one and direct further comment to either of the above.
