Have you ever heard of disease X? Not? It's okay because it hasn't been there yet, but scientists believe they found it in Ethiopia after people start to fall like flies with bleeding eyes.
In the aftermath of the biblical locust plague, Ethiopia is now facing an as-yet-unknown and terrifying fatal disease, informally called bleeding eye fever, which can be the dreaded “disease X,” although some believe the new Chinese coronavirus is disease X.
A mysterious illness in Ethiopia has similar symptoms to Crimean Congo hemorrhagic fever, causing people to bleed from their eyes, mouth and anus.
However, the new "bleeding eye fever" has a higher mortality rate and has baffled doctors and infectious disease specialists for several years.
Cases were reported in South Sudan and Uganda in 2018, with dozens infected and at least four fatalities. Now the disease has returned and villagers in Ethiopia are falling dead like flies.
A mysterious disease has killed more than 2,000 people from 2014 until the end of 2019, WHO warned that an outbreak of disease X is “on the horizon”.
