在西非，伊波拉病毒患者的生存率是20%。那你猜猜美國患者在美國接受治療的話生存率是多少?

The Ebola survival rate in some West African countries is only 20%. Guess what it is for American patients treated in American hospitals.

是的。沒有錯。

Yep, that's right.

可悲的是，這百分之百的治癒率並沒有包括來自賴比瑞亞的Thomas Eric Duncan，他在達拉斯過世。又如獅子山共和國的醫生Martin Salia，他在自己國家內與許多病患接觸，並為他們治療，最後卻死於內布拉斯加州。然而，每一個感染的美國公民在美國境內接受治療後都已完全治癒。反觀在西非，80%的病人卻因此喪命。這也難怪這些明星們會覺得奇怪...

Sadly, this figure doesn't include Thomas Eric Duncan, a Liberian citizen who passed away in Dallas, or Dr. Martin Salia, a citizen of Sierra Leone who died in a Nebraska hospital after contracting the disease while heroically treating patients in his home country. But every single American citizen treated for Ebola on U.S. soil has survived. Yet a staggering 80% of patients in some parts of West Africa succumb to the disease. It's hard to blame these celebrities for wondering..

如果過去四個月你有看電視的話，你可能會覺得伊波拉病毒是一種又可怕又無法抑制的病。但是事實並非如此。

If you've watched any TV in the last four months, you probably walked away thinking that Ebola was a terrifying unstoppable plague of doom. But contrary to popular belief...

只要有訓練良好的醫生、足夠的注射液，伊波拉其實是可以治療的。也因此當珍妮佛勞倫斯說她如果得到伊波拉時，她說...

With properly trained doctors, enough IV fluids, and food, the disease is treatable. So when J-Law claims that, if she got Ebola...

這並不是玩笑話。這有可能是事實。重點是我們應該要讓這件是對全世界各個國家的人來說都是事實，而不是只有美國人適用。

It's not a joke. It's probably true. The goal is to make sure that's true for everyone around the world, not just in the U.S.

JL碎唸:

其實這是很悲哀的事情。簡單的來說就是你在哪出生，就決定了很多你人生的事情，你爸媽是誰，又決定了更多你人生的事情。

BUT~我相信地球越來越小，世界越來越平，這是我們都要努力的目標。為自己也為別人
