A mysterious disease that produces “flu-like” symptoms and that is killing a very high percentage of those that it infects has suddenly appeared in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and scientists have no idea what it is. So far, this mystery disease does not appear to be related to H5N1, monkeypox, Ebola, the Marburg virus or any of the other deadly bugs that are currently spreading around the globe. Perhaps after more testing is done, scientists will discover that there is a very simple explanation after all. And let us hope that this new outbreak turns out to be fairly insignificant in the grand scheme of things. But in Matthew 24, Jesus did warn us that there would be multiple “pestilences” in the days just before His return. So when a new disease suddenly appears and starts killing lots of people, it is worth keeping an eye on.

The epicenter for this outbreak is right along the Democratic Republic of Congo’s border with Angola, and we are being told that dozens of victims are already dead…
AN UNKNOWN “flu-like” disease targeting women and children has killed 143 within two weeks.
Those infected in Congo have suffered from symptoms including high fever and severe headaches with the World Health Organisation launching an urgent probe.
Deaths are being recorded in Kwango province, situated in the Southwest of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and on its border with Angola.
If this mystery disease is “targeting women and children”, does that mean that adult men are not being affected?
Hopefully we can get some clarification on that.
It is being reported that a total of 376 people have gotten sick so far, but it is not clear how they were able to determine that everyone has the same thing if they are not able to identify the disease…
The country’s health ministry also warned people to wash their hands regularly with soap and water and not to touch dead bodies.
A total of 376 people have been sickened in the outbreak, that has hit Kwango province in the southwest of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).
It is very early in this outbreak, and so the numbers that we are being given are very fluid.
But if there really are 143 total dead out of 376 total victims, that is a very, very high death rate.
Many of the symptoms that victims are experiencing are exactly what you would expect if you caught the normal flu…
Patients are mostly children over 15 years old, officials say, and are suffering from a flu-like illness with symptoms including a fever, headache, nasal discharge, cough, difficulty breathing and anemia — or a lack of healthy red blood cells.
I don’t see anything there that would set it apart from normal winter illnesses.
And that also makes it potentially extremely dangerous.
We shall see how this plays out.
For now, one local leader is warning that “the number of infected people is increasing” and that people are literally dropping dead in their own homes…
Civil society leader Cephorien Manzanza said that the situation on the ground is extremely worrying as the number of infected people is increasing. “Panzi is a rural health zone, so there is a problem with the supply of medicines,” Manzanza said.
Due to a lack of medical facilities and a dilapidated health infrastructure, infected people are forced to die in their homes.
A local epidemiologist said women and children were the most seriously affected by the disease.
This sounds very serious.
But let’s not jump to any conclusions quite yet.
Tests are being conducted on this new disease, and authorities are promising to release results as soon as they can…
