We should invade france because that would make us all the Romans!!! And you know the Romans were so boss they could have given less fuck about Ebola :D!!!!!!!!!!
1) Decent solution 2) Meh. Sure 3) So you're saying we should let everybody living in Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Guinea die, AND shut off the rest of Africa because of it? That's messed up man.
Nick Baynes People are proud, they won't admit, especially not on a youtube comment, that they were wrong. But it's possible that you make them think nonetheless.
People don't care. The simply reality of things is. It's only when we are infected by the virus. That's when we care about the virus. It makes headlines really. Ebola been in Africa a very long while before we started caring.
Michael Pesavento What a twisted world we live in. Your comment is really what the world thinks of these diseases. It's all for money it seems just for headlines. Damn we are selfish.
Remember? There were 2,000 cases of Malaria in the U.S. in 2011 www.cdc.gov/features/malaria/ 207,000,000 cases worldwide in 2012. www.who.int/gho/malaria/epidemic/cases/en/
I've only just realized something about the way these videos are presented: 0:37 "We're working on all of these" ... "We". Nuh-uh: *they* are. Made me chuckle anyway.
Great episode. I'd like to make a recommendation. One I realized the progress bar on the left was moving I found it very distracting. I think you would be better off just having it highlight the topic you're on now.
Hank following the recent youtube update for 60fps, it would be really nice if you could make a video on how many frames are we capable of seeing. I think science needs to end the 30 v 60 fps debate once and for all
Arkaryon1 Yea noticed the microscope thing too. little slip up it seems. Fluorescent primer tag or an amplification enzyme would make things easier than microscope, you'd need a load of sample to see that.
Hi, Great video. A correction: PCR amplified DNA is not detected by a "microscope". A specific imager is used to visualize it (but no microscopy required).
One thing that could be done is to have an optional PCR test that could be "perched" (for lack of a better word) at airports in/near the danger zone. With a system in place there could be an economy of scale. Passengers with positive or false positive could receive medical attention i.e. quarantine and monitoring as well as early diagnosis and treatment if infected.
uf! i love scishow, and i'm enjoying scishow's ebola coverage, but we need an episode SPECIFICALLY focused on Liberia and one SPECIFICALLY on Sierra Leone, etc or the story isn't getting out. having most of the airtime devoted to america distorts people's perception of what is happening --airtime must be devoted to places where people are dying and recovering and struggling!
The ultimate difference between the one person to die of this in the USA and all of those who recovered - *immediate access to health care!* Our biggest vulnerability lies in the sad fact that when poor people with no coverage walk into an ER they are frequently sent away with antibiotics that are *useless* against a virus. If a major outbreak does occur, it will be because the medical industry put profits before people, *again.*
Hi I know this maybe random but I have question. Why doesn't lamps, light bulbs, and other light producers have no cooling systems? We can cool down computers, so why can't we cool down light?
The word might be "Recombinant Vector" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaccine#Experimental (... but I studied computers not virology so I might be wrong about the term)
Could you guys do a similar video about mersa staff. I judt found out that I have it and have found that there is very little know by the public about it and how it is transferred.
soooooo they guy running your green screen is failing to check between your sleeves and your body. theres an odd blue wave filling in that space when ever you move your arms. just sayin its bugging me for some reason. anyways good job on yet another great video :)
Sorry, but the part about PCR is a bit wrong. No microscope is used, just a qPCR thermocycler. And while the equipment is not cheap, the reagents themselves are, so a single test should cost less than 10 dollars. The only problem is, the test still takes hours to run, and needs to be done in a lab.
Flying underwater is called swimming. A submarine is an underwater plane, except underwater you don't need lift, so it's more like an underwater blimp, in fact it is.
Space is a vacuum, which means it is devoid of any air particles. Sound is (Very simply put) the vibration if air molecules. So with no air in space there would be no sound made when you played your guitar.
ahh i had to watch a video about this (mainly the zmap thing) in french but they were speaking really fast with a Quebec accent and I just didnt really understand but I understand now yay
#Objection! In regard to #2, what about the 'Ye Olde, electrolyte and fluid therapy, ya know in and out records and coagulation replacement... Is it too complicated?
Im still curious why they didnt do this blood transfusion thing on thomas duncan.. they did it on the first doc guy who survived.. why not give the same blood from that kid to him? or the docs blood for that matter? they basically threw some bandaids at a gaping hemorrhaging wound and watched him die.. its so sad..
I've been watching a lot of videos on the brain and dreaming and etc. can you explain multi personality disorders? Or how do two personalities posses the same body without knowledge of the other?
It's actually not that big of a deal if you are an adult with a fully functioning immune system. Most adults are immune to most enteroviruses. Not all. There are A LOT of them. But yeah, okay. Enterovirus. I don't deal with this one as often, but here's an overview of everything I know about it. It's a class of a bunch of different viruses, the most famous of which causes polio. Depending on circumstances such as which virus you're infected with, your point of infection, and your general health, symptoms will range from completely asymptomatic to respiratory infection to meningitis to muscle weakness and paralysis. If you're an adult, you're more likely to be completely asymptomatic or have mild illness than children; a small portion of which are more likely to have paralytic symptoms. College students and people living in communal living spaces are especially prone to viral meningitis. In general, enterovirus infection is considered a product of good modern hygiene practices. (Infections were unheard of prior to a few hundred years ago.) While they can be spread via saliva, they are mostly spread via the fecal-oral route. (Which is exactly what it sounds like.) The generally accepted theory is that they've always been around, but in the old days, people didn't bathe as often and were totally okay with letting their kids play in dirt and streams thus exposing themselves to more virus and developed natural immunity. As good hygiene practices increased, people weren't getting as exposed, so the immunity isn't as there as it used to be. Best way to avoid infection involves washing your hands after using the bathroom and thoroughly washing your dishes with hot, soapy water. The reason Enterovirus is so common in communal living situations is due to people sharing improperly cleaned utensils and glassware.
I did the same test in college. The cost probably includes wages for the scientists as well as the materials used. Not to mention it would have to be done a lot more carefully then with a class experiment.
People in the first world countries have no need to panic, I remember Swine flu and Bird flu were splashed the news, I think it safe to say there was no genocide.
1. Don't handwash dead bodies
2. Don't eat fruitbats
3. Invade france.
OK, 3 may not be totally necessary but it will be good for the world's morale.
Houston
...
We've got a problem
Instead of invading France all you have to do is meet the French president and he'll immediately say "I surrender".
#maliciousbloke4president
Are you referring to France's hygiene habits?
We should invade france because that would make us all the Romans!!! And you know the Romans were so boss they could have given less fuck about Ebola :D!!!!!!!!!!
1) Regularily wash your hands, especially when you come back home from elsewhere.
2) Cook your meat.
3) Don't go to Africa.
Good enough?
Africa is a HUGE continent... It doesn't mean you'll get Ebola if you go there.
Meg Alyssa yeah theres enough disease to help infect you everywhere
Nice Profile Pic BTW ;)
You forgot one:
Don't Eat Poop!
1) Decent solution
2) Meh. Sure
3) So you're saying we should let everybody living in Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Guinea die, AND shut off the rest of Africa because of it? That's messed up man.
This needs to be on national TV so people can understand that there is something being done and that there is nothing to worry about.
loving SciShow, so many videos lately!
How to become an atheist:
1.) Post a comment about your religious beliefs
2.) Wait
what the hell does this have to do with Ebola?
HaystackGaming01 nothing
So, you just became an atheist right?
Holy crap, I wish it was that easy. I would have de-converted so many Christians by now.
Nick Baynes People are proud, they won't admit, especially not on a youtube comment, that they were wrong. But it's possible that you make them think nonetheless.
A global Ebola outbreak is imminent. I've seen enough movies to know that someone will fuck up and screw the world over in a mutant apocalypse.
You might be in the wrong channel.
the guy who never uploads anything Nope. If it is about Ebola or stopping it then as far as I know this is relevant... somewhat.
Then the world would become a gamer's paradise. Shoot em Zombies.
Vicky Bro Indeed.
Yup, cause movies are realistic.
You guys are awesome! Love this channel! Im going to tell about your channel to my teacher! :)
why not malaria...? anyone remember malaria?
People don't care. The simply reality of things is. It's only when we are infected by the virus. That's when we care about the virus. It makes headlines really. Ebola been in Africa a very long while before we started caring.
Hi, Sorry thats old news. And not dramatic enough for prime time:P
Michael Pesavento What a twisted world we live in. Your comment is really what the world thinks of these diseases. It's all for money it seems just for headlines. Damn we are selfish.
The problem with most of the world is this. If it doesn't effect them or anyone they know they couldn't care less.
Remember? There were 2,000 cases of Malaria in the U.S. in 2011 www.cdc.gov/features/malaria/
207,000,000 cases worldwide in 2012. www.who.int/gho/malaria/epidemic/cases/en/

Someone upgraded lethality before contagiousness. Rookie mistake in the plague makin' world.
Nice reference man. *High Five*
i just love this show, every episode is great
I was so happy when i saw that the video was exactly 6 minutes.
This was a big relief
Thank you Hank. Great video, very informative.
Hank following the recent youtube update for 60fps, it would be really nice if you could make a video on how many frames are we capable of seeing. I think science needs to end the 30 v 60 fps debate once and for all
We are capable of seeing 29.9999 fps :P
SEND THESE TO ALL SCIENTISTS!!!!
Did we just watched commercial for GKS. Congratulations.
There was an ad for scishow... On scishow. My only question was is this intentional or accidental?
what about IVIG's?
Arkaryon1 Yea noticed the microscope thing too. little slip up it seems. Fluorescent primer tag or an amplification enzyme would make things easier than microscope, you'd need a load of sample to see that.
Level headed, scientific, non-sensational. I fucking love this channel.
Hi, Great video. A correction: PCR amplified DNA is not detected by a "microscope". A specific imager is used to visualize it (but no microscopy required).
Wait a min...
I was just on brental flosses channel.
Mind blown as just realized 2 of my fav youtubers made a music vid
Burnig question: is it still called a speedometer if it measures in miles? I'd say it is.
Do we know why ZMapp wasn't used to treat Thomas Duncan or his nurses?
what are the benefits of ingesting and using activated charcoal?
I have a question; does the increase in body temperature from physical activity IN ITSELF help fight potential infections?
I have some trouble putting my rust in Glaxo Smith Kline...
Hank_60FPS_please

new studies are saying incubation time is 41 days
Awesome! everything i wanted to know thanks

True! And we just keep letting them get away with it year after year.
I was taking a health class in school for ebola and i learned all of this exept for the canada part
How brains evolve from now to the future, that's a video I'd watch
How long can someone who has survived the disease continue to have the antibodies?
My dad works for galactosmithkline!
Hi I know this maybe random but I have question. Why doesn't lamps, light bulbs, and other light producers have no cooling systems? We can cool down computers, so why can't we cool down light?
Does the flexbelt work?
That Glaxosmithkline method seems pretty ingenious, are they doing that with other diseases as well?
The word might be "Recombinant Vector" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaccine#Experimental (... but I studied computers not virology so I might be wrong about the term)
I live in the Canadian city that stores the Ebola Vaccine.
Canada (my nation) is terribly sorry for not spending the money on Ebola research.
Wouldn't dehydration negate the blood from seeping through your pores since being dehydrated make the blood thicker
Could you guys do a similar video about mersa staff. I judt found out that I have it and have found that there is very little know by the public about it and how it is transferred.
What is Net neutrality? How do we combat it?
soooooo they guy running your green screen is failing to check between your sleeves and your body. theres an odd blue wave filling in that space when ever you move your arms. just sayin its bugging me for some reason. anyways good job on yet another great video :)
Can you please make a video on the brain that was discovered without any wrinkles?
How is telekinesis done?
Ur a very smart guy they should put this on the news!!!!
update on the tests?
Sorry, but the part about PCR is a bit wrong. No microscope is used, just a qPCR thermocycler. And while the equipment is not cheap, the reagents themselves are, so a single test should cost less than 10 dollars. The only problem is, the test still takes hours to run, and needs to be done in a lab.
Plz do how to tell parents about bad grades :(
This a total random question but i heard this growing up
Does holding in a sneeze actual cause brain damage?
Is heating up food in your microwave really bad for our health??
"DNA photocopying" - the most succinct explanation of PCR I've ever heard.
Can dogs understand our words and can we read to them or how can we comfort them when there scared?
Well done. Thank you.
if ZMAPP work can they make antibody treatments for diseases like HIV?
The Dallas nurse dog doesn't have Ebola I am kinda weirded out cuz I live in Texas........
It will be available in November? so like in 5 hours?
What do girls have to do to grow taller?
How do they do that count down animation on their videos? Is it some kind of plugin for a video editor?
I live in South Africa. Thankfully it hasn't hit us yet.
has anyone realised about transmission if papua new guinea to australia through migratory bats?
Convalescent serum: so the liquefied version of a bacterial immunity. . . . but super risky. . . .
What a super video clear and to the point. And thanks to science we have it by the balls so to speak or will have
do u have a video about the rareness of to be able not to breath for a long time without dieing ? and in all the videos of this only has u in it ?
Thankue for the tips I will stop doing that
If birds could breath under water would they be able to "fly" under water?
Flying underwater is called swimming. A submarine is an underwater plane, except underwater you don't need lift, so it's more like an underwater blimp, in fact it is.
JWQweqOPDH I think he means could the force of a birds wing be able to allow it to move underwater, that's why he put *"fly"*.
What does this have to do with Ebola? And no, that's called swimming
*breathe
wow, such a cool question! I'd love to see that!
What would happen if I played my guitar on the moon? In other words does sound act differently on the moon and/or space?
Space is a vacuum, which means it is devoid of any air particles. Sound is (Very simply put) the vibration if air molecules. So with no air in space there would be no sound made when you played your guitar.
ahh i had to watch a video about this (mainly the zmap thing) in french but they were speaking really fast with a Quebec accent and I just didnt really understand
but I understand now yay
Anyone who suggests nuking something as a solution is insane.
Hey thanks for the video it helped me calm down about ebola
people dislike this video? really?
#Objection!
In regard to #2, what about the 'Ye Olde, electrolyte and fluid therapy, ya know in and out records and coagulation replacement... Is it too complicated?
April is a long was away. How many people will be left in West Africa by then?
Kevin Turnbull Bubonic plague would be easier to deal with. Bubonic plague being a bacterial infection can be treated by antibiotics.
Im still curious why they didnt do this blood transfusion thing on thomas duncan.. they did it on the first doc guy who survived.. why not give the same blood from that kid to him? or the docs blood for that matter? they basically threw some bandaids at a gaping hemorrhaging wound and watched him die.. its so sad..
Blood Types are probably not the same.
Ya! Canada!
Can we just use horses like we do with snake poison ?
Seriously, just browsing through Wikipedia can help A LOT. Read the sources for the info. Make sure that they are facts and not conjecture.
Why is Dragon Ball Z transformation a suggestion, what does it have to do with Ebola
I've been watching a lot of videos on the brain and dreaming and etc. can you explain multi personality disorders? Or how do two personalities posses the same body without knowledge of the other?
People are scared so easily.
I was wondering what people need to know about the enterovirus and how to protect yourself from it.
-Thanks

Thanks for your answer, I heard that it's in a lot of places near my state and my Mom was really worried about it.
A vaccine as early as April. That sounds like great news.
Wait I did a lab in grade 12 biology where we replicated the polymerase chain reaction, you telling me it costed the school $100 each kid ?
+Nathan Marineau Probably, a great percentage of that ammount is paid as honoraries.
I did the same test in college. The cost probably includes wages for the scientists as well as the materials used. Not to mention it would have to be done a lot more carefully then with a class experiment.

Good on ya science
Off topic question, have people been having problems posting comments on youtube?
Edit: more specifically, in discussions?
