Outbreak

The English name of the film, Outbreak, very clearly points out the meaning of the epidemic outbreak, which translates into extreme panic and makes it look like a horror film.

Get rid of the conspiracy in it, the love in it, and the lone hero part, and the virus prevention and control part.

1. The heroine is the CDC Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the hero is from the Institute of Virology, Department of the Army. Still husband and wife, ex. One is for prevention and control, and the other is for research. The male protagonist must have violated confidentiality regulations by leaking the new virus in Zaire, Africa to the CDC without the approval of his boss. But this is nothing, the WHO will also investigate.

2. There are two kinds of viruses, one is Motaba and the other is the new Motaba. Motaba is very powerful, with a 100% fatality rate and a slightly inferior mode of transmission. The new Motaba is more severe, with a 100% fatality rate, but increases the airborne route of transmission. The symptoms of the two viruses are similar to those of Ebola virus, with pustules on the skin and internal bleeding. The incubation period is very short, less than 24 hours. It is also mentioned in the video that the shorter the incubation period, the easier identification and prevention and control, and the symptoms are too obvious. This type of virus is very virulent, but its impact is limited and it will not break out in a large area. The visual observation under the microscope equipped in the laboratory is also a bit incredible, and the electron microscope is too large to see clearly.

3. According to the contagiousness of the virus, the doctors in the early stage were all infected, and the video did not specify it. Another point is that because of the movie, the protagonist's protection is not in place, you can make up a mask or a respirator. Even with this kind of protection, the heroine was accidentally infected, the needle poked herself, and a researcher's protective suit was damaged and infected. Although a bit exaggerated, it shows that medical personnel are still very dangerous.

4. The chain of dissemination was clarified the next day, and the source was also clarified. Everything went so smoothly. It started as a cinema contact case, until the beginning of no cinema visit, when the new Motaba virus was found to be airborne. The number of cases suddenly increased to seven or eight hundred. Fortunately, the military's isolation measures were effective, and several residents who crossed the border were killed. The equipment of the army made people panic. The chemical defense unit of the Eighth Infantry Regiment could not even see its face. The burning of bodies in a house is shocking.

5. Regarding the serum, the little monkey has a maximum of 500 mL of blood in the whole body, and even prepared 1L of anti-venom serum. Antiviral serum therapy works, but it cannot keep up with the speed of this virus. When the virus broke out, there was no powerful cure. It is said that the town was blown up in another ending of the movie, the heroine was rescued and escaped by helicopter, and the virus also escaped... Extreme panic
