In 2014, there was a large-scale outbreak of Ebola virus in West Africa, with the highest number of infections and deaths.
In 2015, Bill Gates pointed out in a TED speech that if there is something that can kill tens of millions of people in the next few decades, it is more likely to be a highly contagious virus, not a war, because we do n’t have any Global defense system against major outbreaks.
The test has arrived now. At 3:30 am on January 31, 2020, Beijing time, World Health Organization Director-General Tan Desai announced in Geneva, Switzerland that the new coronavirus epidemic was an “public health emergency of international concern”.
In addition to combating the epidemic, we should also think about how to learn from experience and use the current scientific and technological achievements to establish a good epidemic response system to prevent the next greater test.
