Daily Mail has been pretty shaky for as long as I can remember.

I wasn't familiar with with India Today, so I checked with Media Bias/Fact Check:

Again, I don't know about this particular story, they may have gotten it right

With hemorrhagic diseases such as the Marburg virus, victims bleed from every orifice before finally succumbing to severe dehydration and blood loss. When they die, they bleed out the nose.

Its horrific.

We have become like an infestation on the planet. Something in the natural world will deal with us. Virus is a fast actor as we have seen. I just hope that when I go, I won't be scared and it won't be too ugly.

The “strange” illness discovered in Lindi, according to Tanzania’s President Samia Suluhu Hassan, may have been brought on by “growing interaction” between people and wild animals.

It would be a zoonotic disease if the virus had spread from an animal to people.

According to the WHO, zoonotic illnesses are becoming more and more of an issue in Africa.
