Struck me as very odd.

"The symptoms exhibited by the dead were spots on the body that turned to boils, high fever, massive hemorrhage stemming from smaller hemorrhagic incidents, and multi-organ failure. The disease took around 72 hours to run its course."

"Governor Tarek el Aissami said, "I need to start by categorically denying the existence of some virus or bacteria on the premises of the Maracay Central Hospital that is putting the lives of patients at risk."

Aragua's governor refuted Sarmiento's claim and called them a "terrorist matrix that has a basic purpose, which is to create alarm, anguish in Aragua's population." 

Yikes! This seems to be morphing, or maybe it's more than one virus.

All the markings of the older versions of the virus, ebola hemorrhagic fever; but I agree these are likely different versions of ebola or ebola-like viruses. No different than H1N1, H5N1, H3N2, etc....They can call it what they want, the symptoms and the outcome are the same.

The 72 hours is more abrupt than usual, but then again many people have mild symptoms for awhile before becoming violently ill.

Venezuela does quite a bit of business with African nations, socialist dictators tend to get along amongst themselves; so there's likely been ample opportunity for transmission.
