Anyone else worried about it getting out of Africa and spreading all over the world?

It's a tropical virus. It's existed for over 35 years and it's never made it over here.

A relevant book: Virus Hunter

i can believe you called somebody a 'twat' then followed it up with a bit of logic that exemplified what we in my part of the world like to call a 'thick twat'.

Marburg virus was first identified in Germany and viral hemorrhagic fever is one of the possible causes of the Plague of Athens of 430 BC. There's no particular reason why not, it's believed to be carried by fruitbats and crab-eating macaques so unlikely to become endemic outside its natural range, it is not airborne so actual contact is required to catch it. There was one case in the UK at Portland Down of a laboratory worker who survived.
