Preliminary tests on this disease show that it is neither Ebola virus nor Lassa fever. As of February 12, the death toll of the virus has risen to 47. The most terrible thing is that the first batch of people infected with the virus died within 48 hours, and the death rate was very fast, which made people nervous. According to the preliminary investigation released by the Municipal Health Organization recently, non-viral and bacterial infections of this mysterious disease can be basically ruled out.
It is speculated that it may be pesticide poisoning, which, like the explanation released by the government before, is chemical poisoning. However, it is puzzling that chemical poisoning generally does not lead to human transmission. The transmission route of this mysterious virus is breathing, saliva, sweat and so on. Take Nigeria as an example, it is the most populous country in Africa. It doesn't have good sanitary conditions. It is summer all year round, and the garbage disposal method there is incineration. As a place with bad living conditions, the average life expectancy of human beings is not long.
As a result, the disease broke out and the medical level could not keep up, so the situation in Nigeria can be called crisis.
