it is said that people that dies with ebola, their bodies are practically... a bag of blood, trust me, its horrible for the people that have to work with their bodies for further research, at least in africa there is still scientist dying of that, i'd never work with that even for a lot of money, just think how expensive is the blood of the people who became inmunne, and there is just no more than 10 around the world, its just impressive, if there is an assassin virus, is the ebola, the most dangerous virus of all, and since genetically speaking it is a chimera of VIH and other viruses, the protein expression of his genes are pretty much a mix between different proteins of other viruses, vih and others

"Don't be scared of Ebola, it doesn't kill that many people"
Me: Phew
"At least not compared to these other more common and deadly viruses:
Me: Oh for fu-
those are not "that" deadly viruses, they are just fucking contagious and easy to get, the more people they infect, the more people they can try to kill. Ebola almost surely kills, but is not that contagious, and a virus cant kill if it cant get people infected.
Doctor : don't worry this virus doesn't kill so much people .
At least 93% of people infected by them die-
It's not that all the examples are inherently more deadly, don't worry. They are more common, they transmit easier and infect more people, which increases cases and in turn increases deaths. Even the least dangerous sicknesses will kill more people if they infect more.

Is that a Jojo reference?
At a U2 concert in Glasgow, Bono asks the audience for some quiet. Then
in the silence, he starts to slowly clap his hands. Holding the audience
in total silence, he says into the microphone, 'Every time I clap my
hands, a child in Africa dies.' A voice from near the front pierces the
silence: 'Well, stop clapping your fucking hands then!'

Old school video that filled me with existential dread, not for me but for those unfortunate individuals that were infected by it.
The way Ebola attacks the body and the immune system feels like a flipping endgame battle-
Very interesting video. As a medical aid organisation that works on the front-line of the Ebola outbreak across west Africa, we face a lot of misconceptions and misinformation about the virus and it's refreshing to see a video that attempts to explain what Ebola actually is without sensationalising it.
Glad you liked it! Keep up the stellar work guys and gals!
Very particular name that states the obvious....Still asking you people to actually make people learn some *damaging* viruses. So those in the future who are just going on with their lives not knowing what dangers they never heard of from science,news,books, or any other means of telling people future things before they go into a riot because a huge threat that dated long ago came back with out them knowing :|
Ebola was one of those things you should of explain so others wouldn't panic over something small

Helped me with a biology project on ebola that I'm doing last minute, thanks kurzgesagt
A number of people have asked how 4/10 people survive Ebola infections. I thought I'd try and answer this best I can. First without treatment the survival rate is much lower, closer to 8/10 - 9/10 die. The current treatment we have is rehydration therapy. This helps with the loss of fluids that the virus causes. Other therapies are being developed but rehydration is still the best we have and is still lacking in certain regions.
Aside from treatment the remaining 1/10 or 2/10 probably survive due to a mixture of genetics and luck.
There are a few genetic reasons a person might be resistant to the infection, ranging from not having an optimum receptor on the cell for the virus to attach too. Downstream differences in cell to cell commutation that means their immune systems are slightly different. These differences might mean that the immune system gets a few extra hours/days it needs to overcome the infection (probably by producing antibodies to the virus).
The other way is luck, there are a whole bunch of things that could impact how the virus spreads, from the initial number of viral particles the person gets infected with too which cell they infect first. Let's say the virus infects a cell which is at the end of its natural life and commits apoptosis (cell death) just as viral replication is about to start. This again for give the immune system that little bit of extra time it needs to mount an attack.
Also a 'cool' thing about Ebola is that is plays around with two separate systems of the immune system which normally regulate each other by feedback mechanisms. If the immune system manages to start the correct mechanisms and feed backs before the virus can really get a grip it could potentially fight off the virus.
Finally one of the effects of Ebola as shown in the video is a depletion of immune cells. If for any reason (such as the ones I given) enough immune cell survive then a person has a better chance of surviving.
I hope that helps and feel free to ask any follow up!
wow, great explanation!
Given it mucks around with the immune system so much, does it mean that the body is seriously vulnerable to other infections? Similar to someone undergoing chemotherapy treatment.
The short answer would be "Yes! I think so!". That said I haven't seen any direct reports of multiple infections happening but that is probably due to a number of factors. Such as people dying awfully quickly once infection take hold. Either way the number of immune cells left would be depleted by the infection. But the modular nature of the immune system would also mean that survivors would not be as vulnerable as say a chemo patient. Chemo kills more without discrimination, ebola (and other virus such as HIV) kill specific parts of the immune system.
One cool correlation we know of is cytokine storms can also happen in influenza cases. It is likely that Cytokine storms are what made the 1918 flu so deadly. But it is only half the story, what seems to have kicked off the Cytokine storms was a co-infection between the flu virus and a bacteria that typically is not very deadly.
It is remarkable that almost a 100 years on we still do not fully understand why the 1918 flu was so deadly. It was also more deadly for the fit and young, which some say is evidence that the Cytokine storm was the real driver of mortality. Being fit and young means you have a fit immune system and as the video here says, the fitter the immune system the more damage it can do to itself.
Thanks alot, good I searched for your answer before simply putting a question out :)
I didn't know there were any other infactions apart from HIV that targetet the imune system. Also I think they both are only transferable through liquids, lucky for that.
What about ozone therapy?

/\ I tried to fix my mistake but accidentally came off as malicious, trying to make people look wrong and myself right.

Like with the cold, while it can easily spread and chances of a healthy adult dying from it is low, ebola isn't like that. While thankfully it doesn't have an extreme infection rate, no matter if you are healthy or in the best hospital in the States, the fatality rate has always been roughly 50%.
Amongst EMS, we joke around that the best way to treat Ebola is to not have it at all.
But why would a virus want kill it's host?
@@blazeraz7666 a virus is a simple thing that infects and spreads. It will continue to do as such until there's nothing left to infect. Viruses are not intelligent enough (they're technically not living things) to take care of their food sources like how we humans take care of cows, pigs, chickens, etc.
@@IIC7 yes but why call it brilliant? Killing your host is a stupid thing in terms of reproduction
@@blazeraz7666 What I found brilliant was how it infects the body, not the end result. Ebola is one of a certain number of viruses that attacks the defense mechanisms of the body rather than going solely for regular cells.
@@IIC7 cool
4:20 that's probably the most emotional i've heard of him
Thank you for making videos to watch while we are eating food
this is very interesting!!! Could you do a video on HIV virus and AIDS too?
dude aids is when hiv gets severely out of hand
AIDS is literally what HIV does to you.
making an hiv video would be an aids video
Thank you captain, this is literally what I have said. make a video on HIV and AIDs and their effects
Isn't this an AIDS video to an extent?
aleix1203 eeeeeeh kinda
"10 children since this video started"
Okay first I was scared of Ebola, now I'm sad about kids dying of malaria.
I'm a mosquito magnet should I be scared?
+Griffin Conger if you're in the U.S. No
+Autocratic Snowman But Jon Snow fought CHOLERA, not Malaria.
As CGP Grey said it best, “One part of your brain is having a mind=blown moment while the other half is rolling its eyes at the simplicity of it all.”
I love to watch your videos kurzgesagt! You really helped me with a research paper! Thank you for your hard work!
what I've learned from this video is that Ebola has no chill
#savage2016
ebola = sparta
ikr😂😂 ebola and all his cousins seriously need to chill
Lmao

What I really want to know is how a person becomes healthy naturally after being infected. In those 4 out of 10, what does the immune system do to finally fight off the virus?
My guess would be the receptors through which ebola enters the healthy immune system cells. Some people might have slightly different receptors due to genetic differences which would make it harder for ebola to infect healthy cells and eventually immune system would come on top. Again, just a guess so better look it up!
@@rolanpapazyan2668 I mean, dehydration would kill you first for Ebola. In fact, using IV was better and WHO recommended it, but Red Cross deemed giving water since we had limited resources to set up IV when there were huge number of patients. That alone saved a lot of patients as IV meant we could treat far fewer patients.
Now, we do have a vaccine against Ebola and there is still an outbreak going on for Ebola in DRC. Except it isn't as contagious (spreads by bodily fluids rather than airbone helps a lot), and we have a vaccine to slowly eradicate it. Coronavirus is far more infectious.
Though, in both cases, coronavirus and ebola spread from animals to humans. Diseases tend to mild over time (though don't count on that for coronavirus since it will take a really long time). Smallpox was a bit of an exception. It too killed too quickly before it can spread and it should have died out. But, more people were moving in than were dying, causing the disease to be around for so long.
On the plus news, smallpox is eradicated. We have 2 sets of vaccines (one uses live attenuated vaccines, which can have a serious, but rare, complications especially in people with weakened or compromised immune systems. The other uses virus that has been cultured and mutated so long it lost its ability to infect human cells, but since it doesn't create that much of a stimulus for the immune system, you need multiple booster doses). But, if you notice, very few people get these (only some who handle labs that store these remaining samples of the virus, those in CDC, vets and other people who handle monkeypox (like how cowpox was similar enough to protect against smallpox, smallpox vaccine is sufficient to protect against monkeypox), and some parts of the military to handle bioterrorism) although the vaccine is around. We just can't test their safety or efficacy since, you know, smallpox is eradicated and there are no new cases of them ever to do human trials in. So, it is approved, but it's not given (though it doesn't matter since the virus is basically eradicated except for samples in vaccines and labs)
Measles was next until the vaccine hesitancy (antivaxxers) got involved. Measles is worse since it fits the true definition of airborne and is extremely contagious. It also can cause serious complications, and *will wipe out all your immunity to diseases*. Polio, which could cause paralysis, requiring in some cases iron lungs, etc is nearly eradicated though cases still remain.
@@ckingpro The last case of Ebola in DRC has recovered.
@Lalo, depends which strain. Ima take SEBOV as a example.
After the cytokine storm if you survive, the immune system might learn to beat it, a medium IS is best. The remnants of the IS will quickly start multiplying crazily. After some time, the immune system gets antibodies. The bone marrow, left unaffected, keeps producing blood cells. All mature cells are released ASAP and cell defense mechs activate. Less ebola viruses can infect cells, as interferons are active. The immune system now can do a punch against Ebola. The symptoms get better, except internal bleeding. If your fever and rash dissapear, you would most likely live.
@@belgiumball2308 define cytokine storm for me please
If you feel alone, just remember that there are billions of cells that they can do kamikaze attacks for you.
which is still, you.
@@4DollaSignaken *Insert Obama congratulating Obama meme here*
Ebola has its outbreak again.
UA-cam: Hey I think this may be interesting to you.
Thats why Im here, greetings from Costa Rica, take care
Someone should make a computer game about the Immune System. Total War style.
Duuuuuude... that would be awesome
try Plague Inc.
I think that's the opposite of what he's asking for.
I guess it's should be more like a StarCraft or similar RTS genre.
MrRushSkies
I played that game before. It's good in it's own way, but it focuses on invading and destroying the body; I'd like to defend it instead!
How to protect yourself
FROM EBOLA??
hire a samurai.
gr8 reference m8 i r8 8/8
What if the samurai dies in a tornado
Spectral Apple hire a samurai
Spectral Apple... History of Japan reference I guess...
Duy Bitboc no how come samurai defend ftom ebola ? the virus is very small ! even its smaller than tye pointy little pary of the sword !
Thank u!
