Inside the luxury hotel in downtown Kinshasa...
Joseph, the head of Africa Division of the International Health Organization, paced like a cat on hot bricks in the meeting room...
He's from South Africa, educated in England, holding a degree in clinical medicine.
Except he didn't become a doctor but joined the International Health Organization, spending 5 years to become the head of the Africa Division.
Alongside him in the meeting room sat 4 expert consultants, 2 temporary consultants, and 12 staff from the International Health Organization.
They have been trapped in the hotel for 9 days now...
The incubation period for the Marburg virus is generally 7 to 12 days, and although today is only the ninth day, Joseph was already growing impatient.
He wanted to convene a meeting with everyone to discuss how to escape this damned place.
