Travel Advisory: Avoid Angola for a while

Now, I’m not an Angolan tourism official (check the official Angola Web site or the CIA fact book page), but due to recent events, I believe it would be wise to stay away for a bit. The reason? Just the Marburg virus. There’s seems to be a little outbreak of it in Angola at the moment. According to the CDC info page (link above), it’s only about 23-25% fatal. Meaning that it’s much better than it’s cousin, Ebola.

Be safe. Get your shots.
