Another deadly virus broke out with a mortality rate as high as 90%. Is it more serious than COVID-19 and AIDS?

This time? It broke out again? The virus is talking about Ebola. Has it appeared in an epidemic? Old rules? Well, it's scary because it has a high mortality rate; And because of proper prevention and control, there is no proliferation; China participated in and developed the Ebola vaccine, which can be said to have conquered this infectious disease.

First, the death rate of Ebola virus is 90%, but most of the patients are black. Ebola virus was not discovered recently. As early as 1976, Ebola virus broke out in Congo, and its biosafety level was level 4. As far as classification is concerned, it is indeed one level higher than COVID-19, but this does not mean that its classification is so terrible that it is extremely terrible. Most of the cases that have occurred are black people infected with this virus.

This conjecture is well founded. In the recent Ebola outbreaks in Germany 1989 and 1996, apes and cynomolgus monkeys were infected, which did not have much impact on human beings. After the Ebola outbreak in Africa in 20 14, more than 100 Filipinos evacuated from Liberia, the epidemic center at that time, were not infected.

Second, because of its high mortality and slightly horrible symptoms, most countries have prevention and control. The highest mortality rate of Ebola virus is 90%, and the lowest is 30%, accompanied by hemorrhagic fever symptoms (that is, we understand the seven thieves bleeding). This symptom makes most people talk about the color change of Ebola. At that time, the disease had not been overcome, and the invisible fear was the most terrible.

Therefore, after the emergence of Ebola virus, many countries in the world took the initiative to cut off all kinds of contacts with Africa to avoid outbreaks in their own countries after infection. 20 14 The year when Ebola was serious was a year when we gave more aid to Africa. At that time, our country, whether it was the virus or the construction of Africa, took risks and rushed forward.

3. Dr. Chen Wei from China participated in the research and development of Ebola vaccine and achieved success. During the Ebola outbreak in 20 14, China provided 200 million RMB in emergency cash, food and materials. Our domestic expert team, Chen Wei, went to the epidemic center not far from Wan Li to find a way to conquer the Ebola virus. And in June of 20 14, the vaccine developed by Chen Wei's team passed the joint evaluation of the state and the army and was officially used in clinic.

In 20 16, Chen Wei's team recombined Ebola virus again and achieved better clinical results. This achievement has been recorded in the history of fighting Ebola virus. It is also a historic breakthrough for China vaccine to go abroad. Generally speaking, although Ebola used to be an infectious disease, people were afraid, but with the vaccine, everyone finally put down their hearts.

Fourthly, in terms of mortality, it is more terrible than COVID-19 and AIDS, but in terms of current infection cases, Africans are more afraid of it. Because the area where Ebola occurred and the area where the case died were all in Africa, no one died in the case of similar epidemics in other countries, so this virus is not very friendly to Africans. In many virus cases, deaths and large-scale infections occurred in Africa.

Therefore, in fact, although many countries are taking precautions, for ordinary people, the fear of this virus is not great. After all, COVID-19 and AIDS never pick people, as long as they are people, they will be infected. Besides, regardless of your health, athletes can kill and serial killers in Britain can harvest, right? Specializing in all kinds of dissatisfaction? In contrast, although Ebola has a high mortality rate, most of them are black, and people in other places are not very afraid.

To sum up, although Ebola virus broke out again, it was terrible because it had a coping style and its infection did not cause large-scale reasons. Especially in COVID-19, this highly contagious virus can be regarded as the king in the history of human virus. After all, during the SARS period, no country could be infected with eight digits, but today's COVID-19 may be better in the end. For the epidemic prevention of infectious diseases, compared with foreign countries, I am glad that I was born in our country.
