I'm sorry to hear that  :'(, that's very lethal and deadly and is not known whether it is caused by bacterium or a virus

Very deadly. My father caught it in 1980, there were 5 other guys in the hospital with it, he was the only one that survived...

Sorry to hear about this.  Hopefully the outbreak will be contained.  Isn't there a shot against this.  I seem to remember having to prove to my college that I was vaccinated?
