New virus in Africa looks like rabies, acts like Ebola

It's related to rabies, but how does it "look" like rabies?

I think this is what they mean.

 

The first one to make a Resident Evil 5 joke gets the **** kicked out of them.

 

Then the words they're looking for is "related to" not "looks like". "Looks like" equates to "presents as", which means it can't act like Ebola.

It's nothing like rabies aside from being a rhabdovirus.

 

This is like a snake eating it's own tail!!

 

Uroboros!

 

cool, something else to be scared of.

 

That's a matter of interpretation. In phylogenetic terms, it would be acceptable to say that it "looks like" rabies (based on phylogenetic signatures). I think you're taking this a bit too literally.

 

He made a RE5 joke. Get 'em Terry!
