    Maybe it'd be a good idea to have such labs a permenant quarantine zone, I.E. people working there live on site and can't leave until after a set quarantine period in isolation to prevent things escaping accidentally, deadly diseases aren't something to pretend everything is fine with...

    Great Video! I'm 28 and I always wondered about that single tiny scar on my upper right arm, because where I grew up, in Austria, nobody else in my agegroup had it. It was only later, when I found out that the Smallpox vaccine hadn't been given to children born in 1994 like me, in Austria, but it was still a routine where I was actually born, in Iran. I moved to Austria when I was only 3 months, although my parents had been living in Austria long before I was born and I was a high risk pregancy that my Mum didn't know of when they went to Iran for a family vacation and I had to be born there. Interesting personal anecdote to me, especially since I'm on my way to become a doctor now. :) Keep up the amazing work!!!

    I got a staph infection six years ago and after taking antibiotics for six months it never went away, it mutated and actually grew stronger and whenever I took penicillin I got a lot more infection spots all over my body very quickly, ever since I've tried more antibiotics, my staph would begin growing quicker and quicker then would slow down after I stopped taking antibiotics like it was made to get strength from the antibiotics somehow. I have been able to stop that form of staph by using sanitizing body washes, being very clean and popping the cysts and cleaning them for five years straight; the more a viral or bacterial infection has time to mutate the more dangerous they become, so stopping an infection as early as possible before it takes over the immune system is the key to stopping the infections, but with labs studying or even turning microbiology experiments into weapons it can take over very, very, very easily, mutate more then have almost no treatment, which could be the end of humanity at worst. Be careful, remember to wash your hands and do not ignore any symptoms of a illness you have like I did and wait until it's too late. I have a lot of daily symptoms that I ignore and recently I've been diagnosed with a new dangerous infection, but luckily the antibiotics worked and didn't trigger more staph infections. Btw thanks if you read all the way to here, I didn't expect myself to write this much when I began. 😅

    I got SARS, twice! I’m an x-ray technologist, working at a downtown trauma hospital. I also have severe Crohn’s disease, and only 5% of my G.I. tract left after 37 surgeries. My immune system is pretty much nonexistent, I nearly died both times, the only reason I’m still alive is because I worked in the hospital, as I got it from several patients that walked in to the emergency room where I was working at the time. The entire staff was quarantined immediately and tested, the treatment began before the symptoms even showed. If it wasn’t for that, I would be dead, but even still, I nearly died, gasping for air, it was one of the worst illnesses I have ever had next to the Crohn’s disease and the intestinal cancer I’ve had four times! As my doctor loves to joke, evil never dies!

    What if there was a separate lab for deadly diseases that are not currently a public health concern? We could put this lab in the middle of the ocean, where it can only be accessed by authorized boats (that are themselves designed to minimize contact with other humans) and where it is at least a week's journey from densely-populated land.
    Then even if someone becomes infected with one of the viruses, everyone's basically quarantined by virtue of the fact that they're at least a week's travel away from wherever they're going.

      I think it's technically banned to create them as weapons but not for research to defend against them so for example the ussr mixed ebola and smallpox during the cold War to see if it could be done and used against them (its called ebolapox) so the USA created it as well to see how it can be used, it's effectiveness, possible way to fight it and what else could be done to alter it. Its a giant loophole that alot of major countries still use to this day to create/develop biological weapons they just claim its for research purposes to defend against what other countries could do them, its a Never ending circle (and its complete bs of course)

    About those inflated suits. Having the tiniest of tears in it isn't an immediate risk. They're being inflated for a reason: pressure. By pumping air into those suits you create a greater air pressure inside of it, so when there's a tear the air would rush out (and more air keeps getting pumped in) blowing away microbes that could otherwise enter the suit. I often use such a trick for my study. Which is working under a bunsen burner. The blue-hot flame actually creates a so-to-speak umbrella of heated air to prevent bacteria, fungi, and such (which are always floating around in the air) falling down onto/into your stuff that needs to remain as sterile/pure (pure is more suitable, as I often need to grow a single strain of bacteria. So anything else found on the plate would render my results useless) as is possible.

    with Positive pressure suits, (Like the one described here) a small tear would not actually be a problem, this is because the air pressure in the suit is higher than the air pressure outside the suit, so if there was a tear, the air would be forced OUTWARDS, rather than inwards, preventing the virus from entering, and the air valves would kick in and feed enough oxygen to keep the pressure higher until the seal is fixed. only large tears where the pressure could not be maintained would be a problem.

      The 2004 disease was simply called SARS and the main difference was that it wasn't infectious before onset of symptoms. That's why hospital staff who treated the infected was at the highest risk, but it couldn't spread like SARS-CoV-2.

    3 things to address here
    1. Yes Ebola (specifically Ebolavirus Zaire, the most dangerous strain named after the area where it was first isolated, now called the DRC) has a 35-90% fatality rate per the WHO depending on strain and supportive care but the majority (99%) of reported cases and fatalities, thus determining the case fatality rate ratio, comes from Africa where supportive care is negligent at best where getting IV fluids in a simple bed is considered exceptional care. Dr. Shem Musoke was infected by a patient in the 1980s and received true intensive care and survived what was though to be Ebola but we now know was Marburg (far deadlier and in the same family of viruses, Filoviridae. WIth actual intensive supportive care that many poor African areas do not have, this may significantly reduce mortality rates.
    2. Marburg virus was so named after a lab in Marburg, Germany had a leak that resulted in 1967 that saw 32 infected and 7 deaths. There have only been 2 outbreaks: one in 1998-2000 in the DRC that had 154 cases and 128 deaths (case rate fatality ratio, or CRF of 83%) and a second in 2004-2005 in Angola that had 252 cases and 227 deaths, CRF of 90%, per data from the WHO. There had been roughly 2 dozen other outbreaks but these are the only two with significant enough cases to produce a somewhat reliable outcome CRF with a larger population, n. CRF is estimated to be between 24-88% per WHO.
    3. Viral Hemorrhagic Fevers (VHFs) are very virulent and dangerous infections caused by Hemorrhagic Fever Viruses and have very basic and short genomes that are quick to replicate based on simplicity of RNA as well as small numbers of base pairs. They also use simple proteins on cell surfaces to gain entry to infect host cells that are on most cells in the human body meaning that when the host cell dies because they can infect a wide variety of host cells, there is wide-spread damage and systemic chaos as opposed to Hepatitis which only infects hepatocytes in the liver. Marburg and Ebola are nothing compared to far scarier VHFs such as Nipah Virus and Hendra Virus which both boast a minimum CRF of 40% and 50%, respectively (though these have very limited outbreaks and therefore populations, resulting in somewhat unreliable data).

    This is why we must take care of the planet we live on. There's unknown diseases and viruses out in those glaciers. When they're gone, those diseases and viruses starts killing us like we're nothing. Like we're worthless

      Viruses can't live in glaciers. They need a host to live and survive. If they can't find a host soon enough they will eventually die.

      @@TheHarmonicaMusician they actually can survive in glaciers. That's why even northern countries like Russia, Canada, Sweden, Finland, Norway and Iceland has Covid, despite having hundreds of glaciers. Fact is, they have found viruses in the Sibirian perma frost. Viruses don't actually need a host. A host only makes a virus active. There's thousands of non-active viruses out there with no hosts, surviving to this very day, and like i said, they don't have a host. Parasites however needs a host

      @@Chisszaru those ancient pathogens and virus’ may not have a way to infect modern humans so to say that there would be a large amount of death is farcical. That being said, even the melt of glacier ice and permafrost isn’t a great factor, as winter conditions freeze these factors furthermore
