1976 A.D. was the first time that this virus was documented.

In just fifty years or so, more than four variants have been discovered.

The problem is that the lethality rate of each species is not low, and this includes primates and chimpanzees.

Humanity has not yet fully figured out an effective treatment for severe Ebola.

In many cases, doctors use a balanced treatment regimen of six antibodies, which still relies on the support of the individual's immunity.

Although there is a vaccine for the Ebola virus, the vaccine is not 100% immune, and may even be ineffective.

As people who study medicine, they understand the meaning of this, and they also understand the danger it represents, but they are all sworn doctors and cannot retreat.

The entire medical team is also very vigilant, because everyone may be involved. Before they were sent out, they had read a lot of materials and texts.

And the appearance and disappearance of the Ebola virus can be described in one word: it is unexpected, there is no warning when it appears, it is possible to wonder how the virus appears, and who is the first person to be infected?

So what was the first victim infected by the virus? Bitten by a fruit bat? For other reasons, some patients are said to have been infected by contact with diseased primates.

This is just speculation, there is no evidence of the top of the board, in fact, scientists still feel very ignorant, and it is difficult to detect the real host of the virus.

The so-called real virus host is the organism that has always been able to coexist with the virus, not those patients who have been directly hung up after getting the virus.

When the virus was first discovered, people didn't take it seriously, and there was a similar disease like hemorrhagic fever in Africa.

No matter how powerful it is, how powerful it can be? But the slap in the face came very quickly, because this virus is quite powerful.

After the virus popped up several times in a row and raged among the crowd, many people died in agony.

What's even more terrifying is that the virus is highly contagious, and the high fatality rate makes people talk about Ebola as a discoloration.

It can be said that human beings use various means to encircle, chase and intercept before they can be regarded as ending an epidemic.

But that doesn't mean you're safe, and viruses come back from time to time.

There is a dedicated historical record from 1976 onwards.

However, there is no pattern at all in terms of records.

Ebola virus outbreaks occurred in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in 1976 and Sudan in 1979.

When the outbreak was over, it disappeared without a trace, as if the virus would never appear again.

Fifteen years later, however, Ebola reappeared in Gabon, and since then there have been more and more outbreaks.

More variants have been discovered, and people have learned more about Ebola because the Ebola virus is so terrifying.

As more scientists joined in, they began to pursue more and speculate that the real host was the fruit bat.

Fruit bats later infected primates and some mammals, and humans were contaminated when hunting, eating, or buying and selling animals, and the virus was transmitted to humans.

And this terrible virus from nature, which is like a grim reaper, is named after the site of the earliest known outbreak of the Ebola virus, along the Ebola River.

After being slapped in the face by the virus, humans learned that the Ebola virus is more terrifying and more difficult to deal with than hemorrhagic fever, and the Ebola virus is classified as a fourth-class virus.

In the process of scientific development, people have graded the biosecurity they have encountered, that is, level one, two, three, four, five.

The representative viruses of biosafety level 1 are measles and mumps, and the representative viruses of biosafety level 2 are influenza.

Some of the most famous killers in human history, such as rabies and anthrax, are biosafety level 3.

Ebola, Marburg and Salad are classified as biosafety level 4.

The highest-level virus is level 5, which mostly appears in science fiction films.

In reality, there are two kinds: the wide-mouth can virus and Pandora.

Wide-mouth tank viruses are super-large viruses that were dug up from Antarctica.

After digging it out, it was found that it was wrong, and it was sent directly to the laboratory for isolation.

This giant virus, which came from 30,000 years ago, was very contagious and was quarantined.

After studying medicine, Ling Xiao learned that many viruses are afraid of heat and cold, such as wide-mouth cans and Ebola.

The Ebola virus can remain active in corpses and blood for several weeks, but it can remain active for a long time at minus 70°C.

These have been experimented again and again, because if human beings want to study the virus, they must have a virus strain, even if the researchers are studying it, but they must also study the mechanism of the virus.

This is for the sake of the safety of the public, the development of modern transportation equipment will shorten the distance between people, and people who are sick want to live, they will go everywhere for help, and naturally go everywhere.

This leads to one thing: the possibility of a global epidemic virus outbreak, especially a level 4 virus outbreak, is too scary.

If we do not study the mechanism of the virus and cannot come up with a means to deal with it, the number of infected people will skyrocket.

This is indeed possible, because the virus is only going to be wiped out.

Therefore, knowing that the Ebola virus is very dangerous, researchers still have to study it.

The development of a viral vaccine can never be done in one step.

Maybe you have to take a lot of detours, which is normal.

That is, after the vaccine is developed.

It has also to be verified by experiments again and again.

After animal experiments, it is human experiments.

This has to be done step by step, because the vaccine is too dangerous.

The vaccine cannot be taken out after it is injected into the human body, and once something happens, it is a human life.

In fact, it is not just a matter of one human life, but also thousands of lives when the vaccine is officially used.

Another big problem with the slow pace of research is that there are variants of the Ebola virus, which makes some things different.

Just like the flu vaccine recommended by people every winter, it cannot cover all subspecies of influenza, and if the flu virus appears incorrectly, it is equivalent to a blank shot.

This is why some people have received the flu vaccine, but they are still gorgeously infected with the flu and become a patient.

And the Ebola virus has repeatedly varied in the 50 years since it was discovered, and I really don't know what will happen.

Naturally, the members of the medical team are aware of this and hope that they can be detected and controlled early.

As medical workers, they gradually adapted to life here.

Although the patient's skin color is different, he is still a patient.

As a doctor, I have always been accustomed to a busy life.

It's like a big family.

Helping each other.

Ling Xiao is okay in this process.

She found herself packing more each month.

A lot of daily necessities will be sent to the family every month.

Although the air postage is high, my grandmother insisted on sending it.

Ling Xiao didn't have anything pretentious, which made the two old men somewhat comforted.

They have only one granddaughter left, and naturally they can't wait for their granddaughter to live well everywhere. Send everything you can.

The members of the medical team also took care of Ling Xiao and generally did not let her go to any urban area alone.

They all thought it was not safe for a girl to go out.

And when they first arrived, no one knew the members of the medical team.

In case you are mistaken for a national of another Asian country.

If something bad happens, people will be hurt when they are rescued.

That's a very hard blow.

If you can, you won't go out.

Women of the medical team when they are out.

They are usually accompanied or accompanied.

In order to reassure everyone, Ling Xiao was not very willing to go out.

The road outside is dirt and potholed, and there is nothing worth going out of.

When she was in China, she didn't like to go out shopping, so she was even more reluctant here.

Those toothpaste and other cleaning supplies are brought back by her teammates, and she can grow vegetables and look at things on the Internet in her free time.

To Ling Xiao's great pleasure, there is still Internet access here, so you can read the latest information, learn some new knowledge, see what useful things, and contact some relatives and friends.

After two world-crossings, Ling Xiao felt that the biggest inspiration and gain from experiencing the world was that she must study hard.

It's for my own efforts, and maybe it's not much use to look at what I've learned now.

It's just that she can't use it now, but it's hard to guarantee that she won't need it later, this is her experience.

Of course, she didn't spend it all on studying, or finding things for leisure.

After arriving at the hospital, Ling Xiao found that the medical team was really busy.

In addition to being responsible for normal medical treatment.

It is also responsible for training the locals.

This is a traditional project of medical teams in Africa.

For this reason, the entire medical team has to go into battle for training.

Fortunately, the team members in front of them have compiled special teaching materials.

This saves a lot of effort from the latecomers, and everyone explains on this basis.

As a teacher, Ling Xiao is the last to leave college, and he is also the least qualified and responsible for the simplest part.

After she took over the task, she first carefully prepared for the class, added the latest medical results, and then explained it.

Every member is the same, go to work to see a doctor, and explain after work.

Even as doctors, they sometimes have to work as nurses.

Fortunately, Ling Xiao's basic skills are very solid.

The performance in all aspects is still very good.

After a period of running-in.

The teammates are familiar with each other.

They found that the youngest teammate was quite homely.

Of course, her house is not the same as the kind of house that squats at home every day.

She still has to go out, and she exercises properly every day and pays attention to growing vegetables.

But a single girl doesn't have the liveliness of a young woman, and she is not very willing to go out of this circle.

Every day is two o'clock and one line, and he is simply a particularly well-behaved person, so he didn't think of the idea of walking around outside.

You know, this is a big Africa, there are a lot of wild animals, there are also a lot of gems and other things, which is the favorite of many girls.

When I get here, I'm afraid that many little girls will want to go out to see, sightseeing, and know how lively and beautiful it is outside.

But Ling Xiao never wanted to go out at all, as if this old man lived like an old man who had seen through the world.

reassuring them, but also a little worried, she is too serious, and she does not have the characteristics of an ordinary girl.

But it is undeniable that her sensibility has saved them a lot of worry.

If a man who has been working all day long, he comes.

It's quite a troublesome thing.

But Ling Xiao was too well-behaved.

And the guy who tested the gun was simply not alone.

In her daily life, she has always done her own thing silently.

Then, when given the opportunity, you will help your teammates when they need help.

In this case, the atmosphere of the medical team is very good, as if it were a family.

Especially the women in the team are all mothers, and they all take special care of Ling Xiao.

In their opinion, Ling Xiao is a very good little sister, and even the older ones are considered to be the older generation.

Time passed slowly, Ling Xiao and they had been here for almost a year, and they were familiar with the local medical staff.

Of course, Ling Xiao has always been the kind of person who talks less and does more, even after getting acquainted, everyone finds that she has always been a relatively cold existence many times.

It's just that everyone never expected that she was relatively cold, and the opposite sex would take a fancy to her, but as a person who works wholeheartedly, there is no possibility of development at all.

The colleagues in the medical team are also worried that Ling Xiao is a person who has not experienced the baptism of love, and if he is not good, he will be chased away, how should he tell Xiao Xiao's family in the future?

They have been a little worried about this possibility, and finally elected a person who wanted to find out about the relationship.

Sister Xie, who was stubborn, hesitated for a long time, and finally asked in a roundabout way: "Xiao Xiao, do you have a boyfriend?" ”

"Nope." Ling Xiao said, glancing at Sister Xie strangely, not understanding why she asked this?

At this moment, she pondered in her heart: Isn't falling in love and getting married the original owner's business?

Even if she were the body herself, she wouldn't look for it in a foreign land.

Marriage is not just a union of two people.

There are still many issues to be solved.

And the most important thing is the issue of three views.

Sometimes it is found that the same human beings have three views on each other.

There will be thousands of differences between mountains and rivers, and it will be impossible to communicate at all.

Sister Xie looked at Ling Xiao and asked, "Then do you still go back and find it?" ”

As she spoke, she looked at the young and beautiful girl very seriously, wanting an answer.

At this moment, she thought to herself: If Xiao Xiao has a boyfriend in China, it can reassure everyone.

Ling Xiao naturally sensed that something was wrong, glanced at Sister Xie, who was a little nervous, and said, "Yes! Go back and find it. ”

After hearing this, Sister Xie, who was unconsciously holding her breath, breathed a sigh of relief, the corners of her mouth turned up, and she laughed all of a sudden, this idea is good.

I heard Ling Xiao continue: "Sister Xie, I am an atheist, and most of the people here are religious and can cooperate with each other, but they are just colleagues or companions, at most. ”

"Xiao Xiao, you're right. That's good, and we're all completely at ease. Sister Xie said that when she spoke, she patted her chest lightly, and she could finally rest assured that Xiao Xiao was not that kind of little girl.

"Before I came, I didn't go through a surprise study, and the issue of religious belief was specially emphasized, so we should respect it, but I belong to a more suitable Chinese culture."

Speaking of this, Ling Xiao smiled and didn't continue, she was very satisfied with her nationality and identity.

Sister Xie nodded when she found out, and after eating, she hurried to work as an obstetrician and gynecologist.

Ling Xiao packed up his things before getting ready to go to work, and happened to meet a child.

She has big eyes and curly hair.

She was holding a bouquet of bright flowers in her arms.

"Xiao, give it to you."

The corners of Ling Xiao's mouth twitched.

She would love to reject the bouquet outright.

But I saw the children's eyes a little disappointed.

Even the round eyes have begun to float with watery light.
