The epidemics that almost happened - George Zaidan

Rating: 4.5; Vote: 2
What makes for an effective outbreak response? Explore successful systems from around the world that prevented epidemics. In 2013, an Ebola outbreak began in Guinea. The country had no formal response system and the outbreak became the largest Ebola epidemic in recorded history. Guinea then completely overhauled their response system, and were able to successfully combat another outbreak in 2021. So what does an effective epidemic response look like? George Zaidan explores how different communities have taken action. Nithu: This reminds me of my small state Kerala in India, which did exactly what explained in the video to tackle the Nipah outbreak of 2018. Also in 2021. There was a movie too regarding this outbreak. Which explains very well how my state stopped the spread.

This video is very important specially when we consider how the majority of news are skewed to scary, sad, violent, or otherwise bad stories, since that's what sells. What we don't realize is that the good news happen all the time, but are just not reported enough.

I was lucky enough to work for the CDC in 2016 and the immunologists I shared a building with had incredible stories from the 2013 ebola outbreak. Thanks for telling me another version of the story!

this is why I think the united states should not consider itself a developed country just on GDP alone, but in what we do with it in creating lasting health systems

My first thought when seeing this title was the Nipah virus. That was a really close call. The disease it causes has an almost 75% case fatality rate.
