    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.

      Instead of invading France all you have to do is meet the French president and he'll immediately say "I surrender".

    1) Regularily wash your hands, especially when you come back home from elsewhere.
    2) Cook your meat.
    3) Don't go to Africa.

      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.

    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!

  • @TheDajamster
    @TheDajamster 10 років тому +4

    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.*

    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.

    -Thanks

    • @theoriginalsache
      @theoriginalsache 10 років тому

      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.
