00:00Good evening and welcome to a new episode of your show, What's Happen?
00:05Today is Wednesday, the 16th of April, and also today is the 6th of Rabi Al-Awwal.
00:15Honestly, we need to focus in this episode.
00:19I've been researching and I feel like there's a bomb in the world about to explode.
00:26I wanted to do this episode for the members, but let me talk about it in plain everyday language.
00:33But the things we can't say or that are too risky or could cause me a lot of problems,
00:37I'll talk about them with the members and leave it at that.
00:41Information about joining that channel is in the first comment below.
00:45There's a bomb that I feel is about to explode in the whole world.
00:50I don't know. Either it's something wrong with us or some people just don't want to see it
00:55or some people aren't interested in seeing it.
00:57But honestly, there's something we need to talk about.
01:01It specifically concerns the spread of the Ebola virus.
01:05We met the first talk about the Ebola virus when its new outbreak began about two or three months ago.
01:14And those who follow this channel regularly know exactly what I'm talking about, right?
01:19Do you remember the last time we talked about the Ebola virus when the outbreak started about two months ago?
01:25In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, we were talking about 250 cases.
01:31And when I stopped following up, it was 250 cases, 270 cases.
01:36And the last thing was there were about 11 deaths.
01:39Then it became 15. Then it became 18 deaths.
01:44Today, the situation has become much more serious.
01:48Today, we're talking, everyone, about a huge number of cases.
01:55Now, the number of Ebola virus cases in two months is 5,000 cases.
02:02It's 5,000 cases. Most of them are in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
02:12And we don't know if people later on, and also, I don't know if some went to South Sudan.
02:18And there are cases in South Sudan.
02:22Previously, they were saying that there were cases that had spread to South Sudan
02:28and to some other African countries neighboring the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
02:345,000 infected cases died in the evening.
02:38I mean, we're talking about 250 cases and about 20 deaths in two months.
02:44Today, we are at 5,000 of infections and about 2,000 to 2,500 deaths.
02:55The new information about this virus, because the World Health Organization is following it,
03:01but there hasn't been any progress so far.
03:06Of course, there are several virus strains.
03:09The Zaire strain is the most well-known strain of the Ebola virus,
03:13and it has vaccines and treatments that have been invented for it,
03:17so the death rate is lower with it.
03:21We busted it.
03:23But the strain that appeared, the new Ebola virus strain, is a rare one, butibujo.
03:31That's the name of the strain.
03:33Unfortunately, there are no vaccines or treatments for this rare strain of the Ebola virus so far.
03:41That means if a person gets infected, the death rate is 50%.
03:4650%.
03:47If your immune system alone can't fight off the virus,
03:51then the death rate is basically one out of every two people who get infected.
03:56One goes to the grave, and one survives.
03:59But it seems that the survivor, unfortunately, continues to suffer from side effects,
04:04possibly for the rest of their life.
04:06That's what's really dangerous about this new strain of the Ebola virus.
04:10This information also revealed that the rate of spread of this virus is three times higher
04:18compared to the outbreak that hit West Africa in previous years.
04:23In 2014, at that time, the outbreak from 2014 to 2016 caused a large number of victims.
04:32Now, in 2026, this virus has started, and we don't know in which year this virus will end,
04:40or at least when this new strain of the virus will end.
04:44We don't know.
04:45The year is 2026.
04:48And leave the matter open.
04:525,000 cases, deaths, 2,500 so far,
04:58and a spread rate estimated to be three times faster than its last outbreak in West Africa.
05:08It's always a serious and very dangerous issue.
05:12That's why I'm telling you this bomb could explode in the world at any time.
05:31The World Health Organization itself said that the outbreak now constitutes a public health emergency
05:42of international concern.
05:45The organization is trying to contain the virus or keep it limited to just one geographic area.
05:53Where is it spreading?
05:56Now, doctor, the virus is spreading in the eastern and northern regions of Congo.
06:05The danger of this area is that it is currently a conflict zone with many armed conflicts,
06:12and there is a large displacement of people.
06:15Anyone from the population can leave and be displaced from this area of armed conflict.
06:21He is risking his life, whether to South Sudan or to other neighboring countries of the Democratic Republic of Congo,
06:29people, whether to the east or north.
06:33So you have many cases of displacement.
06:35And what's scary here is that you don't know where these displaced people will end up.
06:39Will they reach South Sudan?
06:41Could they reach Sudan?
06:42If they reach Sudan, could they reach areas in our Arab countries or not?
06:50Some infected people were actually able to travel to other countries without showing any symptoms because this virus,
06:58look, it doesn't infect others until the symptoms appear.
07:02When the symptoms appear on a person, the virus becomes contagious, unfortunately.
07:07So, doctor, what are the symptoms of infection?
07:12First, a sudden fever, a high rise in temperature, then severe fatigue and exhaustion.
07:23Then a persistent headache followed by inflammation and a burning sensation.
07:28And then I start to have major digestive problems, either diarrhea or constipation.
07:38Unfortunately, in some cases, I get a skin rash, but not always.
07:44I get a skin rash, and then I also start to have liver function problems, which is dangerous liver function
07:50problems.
07:51And finally, I start to have bleeding, internal bleeding.
07:57The body bleeds from the inside and from the outside.
08:00And in the last stage, death occurs.
08:05How is this virus transmitted?
08:09The virus, as we said, as soon as symptoms start to appear on the infected person, the disease becomes contagious.
08:18It is transmitted exclusively through body fluids, any fluid from the body, any fluid from the infected person.
08:28As soon as another person touches it, they can transmit the virus.
08:33Any fluid, blood, droplets, saliva, or any other fluid.
08:41Any saliva, any body fluid.
08:44Okay, this takes me to another point.
08:47Does sneezing transmit the infection?
08:50Unfortunately, yes.
08:52You know, when someone sneezes, they release a large amount of saliva droplets.
08:56If you are close to the person who sneezes and the saliva droplets reach your skin, unfortunately, you are at
09:04risk.
09:04Not just your skin.
09:08Okay.
09:09It has to reach either your eye and go directly into your body or your nose or your mouth.
09:17The mouth, the eye, the nose.
09:19Once the droplets reach them, if it gets here, that means it has entered your body.
09:24And unfortunately, the infection happens.
09:27And this is the dangerous thing.
09:30With this explanation, I hope that a bomb doesn't explode in more than one place in the world.
09:36And that we don't face new epidemics.
09:38I'm with you.
09:39Ahmad Al-Dil.
09:40Ahmad Ishir.
09:41I can talk as much as I want.
09:44Here, there are things I can say openly to the members.
09:46I'm with you.
09:47Ahmad Al-Dil, the producer.
09:49And we can make the program chasseer and block it.
