The emergence of the COVID-19 virus has brought human attention back to bats. According to research, this flying mammal can carry hundreds of viruses at any time. Some viruses have been identified by virus experts, such as Egypt Bora virus, Nipah virus, corona virus, etc., and quite a few viruses are unknown. The COVID-19 virus that appeared at the end of last year is as coronavirus as the SARS virus and the MERS virus, but the COVID-19 virus has acquired stronger transmission and infectivity through its strong mutation ability. As of now, China’s COVID -19 The number of confirmed patients has exceeded 80,000, and the situation abroad is becoming increasingly serious.
Many people staying at home are waiting for the COVID-19 epidemic to be fully controlled, while worrying about the increase in imported cases. According to news media reports, the number of confirmed cases in South Korea, Japan, Iran, and Italy is increasing, and many Koreans, Japanese, and Iranians have left their homeland to take refuge in China, causing many people to worry about their Whether the arrival will make China’s epidemic repeated. The author believes that such worries are justified. After all, China has experienced an epidemic air defense war for more than two months. The vast majority of Chinese have spent a very quiet Spring Festival, so the fear of the epidemic is understandable repeatedly.
It has to be said that the emergence of this epidemic has caused the virus to attract human attention, but this is not the first time that humans have been attacked by the virus. Of the many known viruses carried by bats, Ebola should be the most destructive. According to relevant data, the first case of Ebola virus infection occurred in the African region in 1976, and the first cases occurred in Sudan and Congo. Because the virus was extracted by the experts in the Ebola river basin, it was named Ebola virus. Medical experts from developed countries have looked at the symptoms of Ebola-infected patients, and can probably know that the virus is menacing, not only because of the malformations of the patients and eventually the viscera, pus and suppuration. This virus is highly infectious.
A drama called “Blood Plague” appeared on the Internet before. This web drama is mainly about a series of efforts and struggles of a female medical scientist to prevent the spread of Ebola virus. There was such a scene in the story: an Ebola patient was found by the guard while fleeing the centralized quarantine area, and after the warning was fruitless, the guard simply shot and killed him. Not only that, the guards subsequently filled the patient’s body with gasoline and burned the body with a torch. Seeing this, many friends may feel that the guarding is extremely cruel and inhuman, but in fact he is also ordered to act in order to prevent the virus from spreading.
If you understand the horrors of the Ebola virus, you will understand why the guards did it. According to research by virus experts, the Ebola virus can survive for a long time in the body of the deceased. If other people come into contact with the dead body of the virus, this person’s chance of becoming infected is greatly increased. It is understood that similar outbreaks of Ebola virus occurred in Africa in the past few years, so the virus spread faster than experts expected.
