😬The interval betw/ the onset of symptoms – which include fever, vomiting & internal bleeding – & death has been 48 hrs in most cases.
These “hemorrhagic fever” symptoms are commonly linked to known deadly viruses, such as Ebola, dengue, Marburg & yellow fever, but researchers have ruled these out.

Imagine a world where people running from a brutal dictator show up at immigration asking for asylum to avoid life in prison or death for opposing a political view, and a guy walks past the line carrying a briefcase, hands it to an immigration officer and immediately receives a permanent visa. Sick.
