A good epidemic that would eradicate 70% of the world's population could not, ultimately, save (at least temporarily) the humanity of its end programmed by (strike out the useless mentions):
  • global warming
  • the over population
  • starvation
  • for another

It's a bit like the Thanos method ...

There is a high probability that a global pandemic will hit humanity in the coming decades, mainly because of the release of sectorized viruses in tropical forest areas suffering from deforestation or permafrost thaw.
Even worse and risk number 1 on the list (before global warming): the use of a virus "hardened" by biotechnological processes and used by bio-terrorists:https://www.econologie.com/forums/sciences-et-technologies/le-virus-de-la-variole-re-cree-en-laboratoire-t15407.html#p327294

Come on, let's not be petty, let's put 90%, and all pollution issues will be fixed. And then we keep on repeating that man is the cause of all the evils, even of the warming, because he has sinned a lot and that he would have done better to stay in the caves, so that it will be back to The starting point.

At any time, a potentially deadly global pandemic could explode and destroy a large part of humanity. In any case, this is what the WHO wants to say, which speaks of 100 million deaths.

The information comes from Tedros Adhanom, Director General of the World Health Organization. According to Tedros, who spoke a few days ago at the World Summit of Governments in Dubai, the lack of universal health coverage is the biggest threat to global health. The researcher recalls at the same time that 3,5 billion people around the world still do not have access to essential health services.

In front of an audience suddenly uncomfortable, he said that "this is exactly what happened 100 years ago during the Spanish flu epidemic", not to mention that humanity was not not immune to a new disaster of this kind. "A devastating epidemic could begin in any country and kill millions of people because we are not yet prepared."

But because of the high cost of care, nearly 100 million people around the world are in extreme poverty.

The only flying mammal, this animal transmits diseases that are dangerous for humans. Like Ebola, which killed 6 000 people in Africa in less than a year.
When we talk about bats, we think about its ability to sleep suspended, head down, or Batman ... But for scientists, these flying animals are mostly associated with viruses because they carry disease . Since this summer, scientists are almost certain that these flying mammals are the cause of the outbreak of Ebola that broke out in southern Guinea almost a year ago. A monkey would have been in contact with an infected bat. The primate would become a vector of the disease before being manipulated and cut up by humans, who would have been contaminated by eating it (see infographic on the next page). Since then, the virus has continued on its way. In early December, there were more 16 000 cases in Africa, where the epidemic has already made about 6 000 dead.

There is a multiplication of cases of transmissions of bat viruses to humans, particularly because of the narrowing of the natural habitat of the latter in favor of inhabited areas:

How the virus is transmitted
and spreads?
The fruit bat, also known as the Flying Fox, of the genus Pteropus is a natural host reservoir for the Nipah and Hendra viruses. The virus is present in the urine of fruit bats and possibly in feces, saliva and liquids released during the birth of bats. Malaysian pig farms in
The disease first appeared with fruit trees that attracted bats from the rainforest, perhaps as a result of deforestation programs. Domestic pigs were exposed to the urine and feces of bats, which are thought to be the source of the swine infection which subsequently spread rapidly as part of intensive pig rearing. . In addition, transmission between farms may be due to the presence of the virus on clothing, equipment, boots or in vehicles for example

http://www.oie.int/fileadmin/Home/fr/Media_Center/docs/pdf/Disease_cards/NIPAH-FR.pdf

A virus from the bat

Like many emerging infections, Nipah comes from deforestation, which exposes previously unknown pathogens. The first outbreak was recorded in 1998 in Malaysia, in the village of Sungai Nipah which gave its name to the virus. In one year, the epidemic had infected 300 people and made a hundred casualties.

Nipah's natural reservoir is a large, frugivorous bat called Pteropus. Nomadic, she can travel more than 600 km, spreading the virus over long distances. In general, contamination occurs through farmed pork, but this is not systematic. The latest outbreak, reported between 2001 and 2007 in Bangladesh, began with the consumption of date palm contaminated with bat droppings.

Fortunately a vaccine was quickly developed against Ebola. https://www.letemps.ch/sciences/cette-y ... irus-ebola and helped to stem the epidemic, no offense to Janic.

Once again not to clutter this subject, I report and develop this response on the vaccination topic.

Unlike you, Janic reads ALL the article, what does it say? Clearly another announcement effect as it comes out regularly to attract subsidies.
This time, there is a vaccine against the Ebola virus
The rVSV-ZEBOV vaccine should start in the Ebola epidemic in the DRC. Provided however to overcome the challenges related to its transport and its conservation in inaccessible regions by plane or car, often without electricity in the middle of the jungle
The story is repeated, and that of the Ebola virus is the perfect illustration. Since the discovery of the virus in 1976 in Zaire (...) scientific research is undertaken to develop a vaccine but are finally abandoned for lack of resources. The ninth documented occurrence of the virus, which has occurred in recent weeks with 39 suspected cases and has already killed 19 people, has an air of déjà-vu. Except that this time, noticeable difference, there is a vaccine.For the first time, health agencies in the DRC could deploy a cure, rVSV-ZEBOV (or VSV-EBOV), originally developed by the Public Health Agency of Canada and licensed owned by Merck Laboratories.
Read also: Ebola vaccine tested at HUG obtains good results in Guinea
Tested in several locations around the world, including the University Hospitals of Geneva (HUG), it demonstrated its ability to safely trigger the body's production of Ebola antibodies in phase clinical trials. I and II, performed in healthy volunteers. [*]
Encouraging results (sic) who had logically led to conducting phase III trials, on a larger scale and in people in contact with the virus. RVSV-ZEBOV had then demonstrated an efficiency of 75 to 100% in 7651 people according to The Lancet. Figures not obtained against placebo, for obvious ethical reasons, but during a so-called belt vaccination campaign, in which people came into direct contact with a diagnosed patient, as well as their own contacts (ie two degrees of separation) were vaccinated. [*] [*]
Although everything leads to believe it, we do not have certainty yet that this vaccine will also work in the present situation
Laurent Kaiser, virologist
Another large clinical trial later in Guinea was conducted with 5837 people meeting these contact criteria and concludes with an 100% efficacy rate, with no case of Ebola occurring within 10 days the vaccination. In the process, a stock of 300 000 doses of rVSV-ZEBOV was set up in the event of a new outbreak thanks to the support of Gavi Alliance, a Geneva-based organization that works to provide access to the poorest countries fast to expensive treatments.
Despite the effectiveness and availability of the vaccine, caution remains. "It remains to be confirmed whether these 39 cases are indeed cases of Ebola"Says Laurent Kaiser, a virologist at HUG. There are many infectious diseases in the region with similar symptoms. And although the viruses of 2014 and 2018 belong to the same strain "Zaire", nothing guarantees for the moment the success of the vaccine. "In 2015, the clinical trials took place in a single study in Guinea, at the end of the epidemic and therefore after the emergency. Although everything leads to believe it, we are not yet sure that this vaccine will work in this situation as well, " reminds the doctor.
Storage at -80 ° C
It is for this reason that the rVSV-ZEBOV currently has no marketing authorization in the usual sense of the word. The World Health Organization (WHO) has developed an experimental protocol that has been validated by the health authorities and the ethics committees of the DRC, writes in an email to Time Tarik Jasarevic, spokesperson for the WHO. This green light will lead to an authorization temporary placing on the market of rVSV-ZEBOV, for a so-called compassionate use.[*] [*] [*]


Example in Ikoko Ipenge, village where occurred two cases the 13 May, and that is not connected to Bikoro, where the WHO has installed a 15 beds care center as well as a mobile laboratory, that after a difficult motorcycle trip of about thirty kilometers across the jungle. As for the Bikoro airport, it is too poorly maintained to use it. "It's going to be complicated and expensive," said Peter Salama, the director of the WHO Emergency Management Program, at a press conference in Geneva on May 11.
Even though the logistics would be ideal and the vaccine ready in the field, the belt vaccination campaign is no sinecure: epidemiologists, data specialists and other health personnel must document the progress of the epidemic , trace all contacts of the patient, at two degrees of separation, in the three weeks preceding the diagnosis. A delicate detective work essential to the success of such a vaccination strategy. "The vaccine can change the game, but it will not be enough by itself: it takes a lot of mobilization of communities and health personnel without forgetting to introduce preventive actions ", concludes Laurent Kaiser.


[*] any introduction of any product into an organism causes antibody production. Does the author of these articles ignore him?
Then on healthy carriers as if it was a demonstration of efficiency in patients.
[*] [*] history repeats history every time and it resembles, to be mistaken, the WHO report on smallpox which concludes that "despite some successes in some countries, it was a failure in general"
[*] [*] [*] There it reminds, the H1N1 with all the circus that accompanied him and the simulacrum of vaccination Bachelot.

and draws only what suits him, in an illegible flooding (it is also positive, I wonder who will read this jumble).

After difficulties of development, the last vaccine against ebola is a success because remember, it is a person in two who without vaccine dies ebola.

Obviously not you, it still requires a sufficient analytical mind!

After difficulties of development, the last vaccine against ebola is a success because remember, it is a person in two who without vaccine dies ebola.
"The rVSV-ZEBOV had then demonstrated an effectiveness of the order of 75 to 100% in 7651 people according to the journal The Lancet."
The same rhetoric was held for each new vaccine. The smallpox vaccine was also considered "effective" and this was a health disaster. It's beautiful blind faith!
the Lancet also publishes articles, it is not a body of control and verification of the articles that it publishes under the responsibility of their authors as it published the article of Wakefield and Smith and their team. English court validated by condemning the College of Physicians)
So read ALL that is stressed, if you have trouble reading everything!
Although everything leads to believe it, we are not yet sure that this vaccine will work also in the present situation

What good news !
Finally a country where the precautionary principle does not prevail, which makes Western minds completely timid today!
I take hope, there are still men who advance, humanity may not be fucked.

It's irony?
