introduction
Since the outbreak in Wuhan in 2019, the cumulative number of deaths worldwide has exceeded 4 million, which is the total number of war deaths in the past 40 years.
But even such a terrible virus can only bow down in the face of another virus.
Because the new crown will be cured in time or mild diseases, and there are now treatment programs and preventive injections.
But in a certain corner of the world, there is a super virus, until 2020 has launched 11 waves of epidemics, it has no medicine, the speed of transmission is amazing, once infected, it will be doomed, can only resign to fate. This is Ebola!
Ebola virus
What made the Ebola outbreak in 1976 and still circulating until 2020 make it circulate for so many years? What kind of devastating blow has it dealt to humanity?
Ebola is a virus with a very high transmission and high lethality rate. It was first discovered in 1976 around the Ebola River. Hence the name "Ebola virus".
What is the way through which this virus, which has a fatality rate of between 60 and 90 percent, is transmitted to humans?
Typical cases
In Africa, most families can't afford meat, so there's no way to get this nutrition, but in order to supplement nutrition, many families eat bat meat or primates.
An ordinary noon that can no longer be normal, an old man bought bat meat from the vendor, the vendor handed the meat to the old man, the piece of bat meat picked was the beginning of misfortune, this piece of bat meat carried Ebola virus, the old man's hands were also stained with bat blood, at this time the old man rubbed his eyes, and went home.
The patient dies
After a few days, the old man's body appeared unwell, the family thought it was a normal cold, after all, the age was also old, let him lie on the bed to rest, but the physical condition was getting worse and worse, began to appear diarrhea and vomiting, at this time the family realized that this is not an ordinary "cold", the old man's granddaughter called the doctor, unfortunately it was a step too late, when the doctor arrived, the old man had unfortunately died, the doctor concluded from the first sight of seeing the old man that he was infected with Ebola.
The family is very sad, thinking of helping the elderly to sort out the remains, the doctor saw it and rushed to stop it, because at this moment the virus is still in the grandfather's body, must not be touched, because the Ebola virus and its easy infection.
The doctor advised everyone to wash their hands and disinfect immediately, found a funeral team, the staff put on protective clothing, disinfected all the surroundings, the staff put Grandpa into a separation bag, and burned all the clothes of Grandpa before he died.
Family members are infected
Because the family is a contact of the grandfather, it is necessary to isolate. Within a few days, my mother also had the same symptoms as my grandfather, and the family was very scared and wanted to isolate my mother on their own initiative.
The little girl felt that this was very wrong, and decided to send her mother for treatment, which may have been found in time for timely healing, and her mother was miraculously cured.
The good news spread immediately, giving the villagers great self-confidence, and everyone was no longer afraid of Ebola. In fact, this is an animated story, which is to tell everyone in the form of animation that if you are infected with the virus, don't be afraid, and you must treat it in time to believe in the doctor.
The main purpose is to comfort people's hearts
Extremely high lethality rate
The horrors of Ebola are actually clear to everyone that even if there are comforting cases of recovery, they are very few, and the data on the fatality rate do not come out of thin air.
Ebola virus can be infected by blood, pores, fluids, etc., and the infected person will have symptoms such as vomiting, blood in the stool, respiratory failure, and in severe cases, bleeding nostrils and bleeding eyes.
Ebola virus is a filovirus that first appeared in animals, and because West Africans eat wild game more often, children often play with animals, which is the main route of transmission.
Ebola virus is tenacious, even if the patient dies, the virus is still present in the body, if the patient vomits or bleeds, the place contaminated by these secretions will be infected with Ebola virus.
The data shows that during the first Ebola outbreak in 1976, 318 people were infected and 280 people died.
During the 2003 Ebola outbreak, 143 people were infected and 128 died, with a case fatality rate of 90%.
Can a "wizard" heal?
In 2014, the worst Ebola outbreak in history broke out in West Africa, and this time, people witnessed the spiral of Ebola virus. In a small village in Guinea, West Africa, a man who called himself a "wizard" told everyone that he could treat patients, and the news spread immediately. Many people came to this "wizard".
The "shaman" placed the snake on the patient, chanted incantations, applied herbs, and began to "heal" with a nagging voice. This operation not only caused the patient's condition not to improve, but the "wizard" himself was infected because of intimate contact with the patient, and the "wizard" died of illness a few weeks later.
All were infected, and none of them were spared
At the funeral of the "wizard", nearly a hundred people attended, and all of them were infected, and none of them were spared. In this way, the infected population continues to expand, more and more patients, the medical system in West Africa is fragile, directly collapsed, one of which is a 7-year-old little girl, directly sick to death in bed, it is unimaginable that after a long time no one came to collect the little girl's body, just like that blood sparkling bed, miserable.
Seeing this, I think everyone should be able to imagine, why is Ebola virus breaking out in Africa? Because there are more pristine areas in Africa, their exposure to wild animals is relatively frequent, coupled with poor sanitary conditions and superstitions, backward medical care, and lack of effective prevention and control measures, which creates opportunities for Ebola.
The attack of Ebola on humans is usually divided into four stages, first killing the patient, then killing the people around the patient, of course, the patient's family is not spared, the most terrible thing is that the medical staff can not escape, during the outbreak, hundreds of medical staff have been killed.
Aid workers are infected
According to the data, there was an international aid worker, who was diagnosed with Ebola during the aid period, he was put in a sealed box and sent to the United States, where he was taken to a special isolation area for rescue treatment, and soon he developed symptoms of organ failure.
In the coming weeks, he would rely entirely on a ventilator and nutrient solution to sustain himself, and dialysis for nearly a month would pull him back from the line of death. But this is only pulled back from the death line, and then the patient is unconscious, completely unconscious.
Fortunately, the early experiments saw the effect in him, and after such a long period of torture, he was miraculously cured, and when everyone was excited to find a solution, reality gave everyone a heavy blow.
Virus metastasis
Soon after, his left eye began to become inflamed, his vision gradually blurred, his left brain began to ache, sensitive to light, and so on, it turned out that his eyes were filled with a large amount of Ebola virus, and it was still multiplying.
Soon, his left eye was already blind, this result made everyone lose confidence, originally thought to defeat Ebola, did not expect the virus to begin to multiply in the eye, if you continue to perform eye surgery on him, it may cause the epidemic again.
The Ebola virus is also called a "zombie virus", not to say that it is as terrible as the zombies in the movie, but that patients will be very painful like the "living dead" after the onset of the disease, and Ebola is a naked "visceral meat grinder".
In fact, the more intense the virus, the transmission is not so fast, because the infected person will die in a very short time, not like the new crown will be asymptomatic, Ebola virus will be very painful, and it is not so easy to be infected after doing isolation and protective measures.
Develop vaccines
From 1976 to 2020, in the 44 years, Ebola has not been completely eradicated, but fortunately, in 2016, Canada has developed a vaccine for Ebola virus, which is a big step forward.
Marburg virus
Marburg virus is the predecessor of Ebola virus, both in a certain part of Africa, the main source of infection of Marburg virus is monkeys, this is a deadly virus, but there is no large-scale outbreak, the largest outbreak was between 1998 and 2000, 123 out of 149 patients died. Mortality is also extremely high.
It is shocking that in many outbreaks, 75% of the patients are children around 5 years old, while most of the other infected people are also parents or medical staff of children, and the most susceptible people in Marburg are children.
After infection with Marburg virus, there will be fever, vomiting and other symptoms, Marburg is an extremely dangerous virus that must be stored in a very safe laboratory, Marburg virus is also the first filovirus discovered by humans.
Marburg virus is found earlier than Ebola virus, often first infected primates such as green monkeys, green monkeys in the transmission of the virus to people, and then by the patient to infect healthy people, Marburg virus is highly contagious, severe symptoms, the more severe symptoms of the patient is more contagious.
No wild game
The new coronavirus often parasitizes on animals, the most typical example is bats, in fact, in some parts of China, many people like to eat wild game, the key is not to know what virus there will be on the wild meat, in fact, it is very dangerous, do not understand why so many people like to eat wild meat, after the mouth addiction the virus will come uninvited.
In fact, compared with the poultry raised by themselves, wild animals will really have a lot of uncertainties, and even cross-infection with other viruses in the outside world, which is naked from quantitative change to qualitative change, which will bring greater hidden dangers, wild animals are more likely to be infected with parasites, but animals raised at home may not have too much contact with the outside world, which is the difference.
To give you an example, pheasant is actually a very common game, many people have eaten, according to the data, pheasant in the parasite is very much, after eating it, once it enters the brain, it will cause damage to the brain, the harm is very large.
Pangolins are also a lot of people prefer to eat wild game, but in fact, pangolins have a lot of pupae, into the body will damage the internal organs, the harm is very large, will cause abnormal changes in the internal organs, not to mention bats, the uncertainties on the body are too much, but some people are to eat fast, too many to list, seriously, every virus will be fatal.
Some people love to eat to what extent, in order to prolong the preservation time of wild animals, will add some iron sand, talcum powder, in fact, these things added to the animal body, the harm to the human body is greater, and even poisoning will occur.
Ancient books have recorded that there are cases of death caused by human consumption of wild game, and at that time it may not be possible to detect bacteria, viruses and other things, but it is true that people die after eating wild game.
Slowly, the state has also carried out legislative protection of wild animals, for illegal capture, processing, eating people, will be punished accordingly, according to the data, in the news can also be seen, some wild animals have been "eaten" by humans to extinction.
Many people may think that wild game is rare, and wild animals will have richer nutrients than poultry, in fact? Wild animals of unknown origin are actually in danger.
Curiosity and vanity are at work, I hope that everyone will remember the lesson, pay more attention, for this kind of "food", must not touch, so as not to bring hidden dangers to themselves and others.
Together
The epidemic is merciless, life has become very small in the face of disaster, now is the critical moment of the outbreak of the epidemic, the most difficult is the medical staff, of course, we should not add chaos.
Don't go out
No gatherings
Do not visit relatives or friends
No dinner
Minimize going out
Avoid crowded places
We quarantine the virus
But don't isolate love
Hats off to the most beautiful retrogrades
Wash your hands frequently, take the initiative to protect yourself, avoid close contact, and maintain good safe eating habits
The temporary end of an epidemic is definitely not the beginning of humanity taking it lightly
The war between humans and viruses has not stopped
They are looking for an opportunity to continue to attack humans
Like the COVID-19 pandemic around us, this is a tragic experience and a tragic price, but it has actually given us valuable experience and lessons. The tragic experiences and tragic costs of the past have also given us valuable experience and lessons.
