人类在埃博拉病毒前不堪一击?

But first, the World Health Organization is holding an emergency meeting to discuss how to tackle the Ebola outbreak in West Africa. It's the worst ever recorded, and so far has killed over 800 people in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone. The virus spreads mostly by contact with infected bodily fluids and up to 90% of the people who catch it die. But today we meet one of the 10% who survive. 41-year-old Saa Sabas from Guinea caught Ebola from his father in April this year. Through a translator, he told me what happened when his father became ill.
世界卫生组织召开紧急会议讨论如何应对在西非国家爆发的埃博拉病毒。这是有记载以来最可怕的病毒，到目前为止已经造成几内亚、利比里亚和塞拉利昂等地800余人丧生。该病毒主要通过接触被感染的体液来进行传播，致死率高达90%。然而今天我们要认识的这位就是那10%的幸存者之一。来自几内亚41岁的萨阿·萨巴斯今年四月就从他父亲身上感染了埃博拉。通过翻译，他告诉我他父亲生病时的情况。

Well, he had severe diarrhea. For five days he had diarrhea. Then he got a high fever and it finished with hiccups, violent hiccups. And then he died.
当时他严重腹泻，持续了五天。接着他发高烧，最后打嗝，打得非常厉害。然后他就去世了。

And you were in close contact with him throughout his illness.
那他患病期间，你一直和他有近距离的接触。

Yes. I stayed at his side for the first four days. I washed him. I fed him. I held his hand. When he was sweating I was wiping the sweat off. But we didn't know what kind of illness we were looking at.
是的。起初四天，我一直在他身旁，帮他清洗身体，喂东西给他吃，握着他的手（安慰他）。他出汗了，我给他擦汗。但那时我们根本不知道面对的是什么样的疾病。

How long after his death was it diagnosed as having been caused by Ebola?
他去世后多久被诊断出是埃博拉病毒致死的呢？

Well, he died and we buried him. And after a couple of days, the authorities called me and said that I needed to be under supervision, observation for 21 days. And after about 11 days, I started feeling very hot. And I got a fever at the first symptoms.
他去世后我们安葬了他。几天之后，当局就通知我说需要对我实施21天的监控。大概第11天左右，我就开始发热，起初的症状就是发高烧。
