A woman on a flight from Lesotho to London died yesterday, apparently of hemorraghic fever, also known as ebola.
If there was ever a superbug, this was it. 50-90% mortality rate. Pretty infectious, though only through physical contact as of yet. It isn't quite as horrific as it's frequently made out to be, but anything with that kind of mortality rate probably isn't something you want in London.
