Travellers are being cautioned as the Marburg, Mpox, and Oropouche viruses spread across 17 countries, with Marburg, known for causing 'bleeding eyes,' resulting in 15 deaths in Rwanda. Mpox cases have been detected in several African countries and the UK, while Oropouche is spreading in South America and the Caribbean. The UK Health Security Agency advises travellers, especially pregnant and immunosuppressed individuals, to take precautions, as there are no vaccines for these viruses. Symptoms vary but can include fever, rash, and severe complications.

Originally Published 2 years ago — by Daily Mail

Cody Capps, a 37-year-old father-of-four and special education teacher from Tennessee, died from complications related to influenza A, amid a surge in flu and other respiratory virus cases in the U.S. His death underscores the potential severity of what is often considered a mild illness. A GoFundMe page has raised over $75,000 for his family. The CDC reports a significant increase in flu-related hospitalizations and deaths this season, with a 48% rise in admissions in one week and an estimated 4,500 deaths so far. The 'triple threat' of Covid, flu, and RSV has led to reinstated mask mandates in over 30 hospital systems across 16 states.
