00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.319
I'm professor Hans Rosling.

00:00:02.319 --> 00:00:04.799
Let me show you
how ordinary people live

00:00:04.799 --> 00:00:06.599
in those areas of West Africa

00:00:06.599 --> 00:00:09.160
that are worst hit
by the Ebola epidemic.

00:00:09.160 --> 00:00:11.080
Here, this is Liberia.

00:00:11.080 --> 00:00:12.599
And when we zoom in,

00:00:12.599 --> 00:00:14.800
you can see the capital Monrovia,

00:00:14.800 --> 00:00:17.399
and this is the suburb West Point,

00:00:17.399 --> 00:00:20.199
where some of
the poorest people live.

00:00:20.199 --> 00:00:21.920
This is how they live!

00:00:21.920 --> 00:00:24.160
A small little house
with only one room,

00:00:24.160 --> 00:00:26.239
and one bed.

00:00:26.239 --> 00:00:27.920
Father and mother and the children

00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:32.119
sleep in the same room
where they eat their meals.

00:00:32.119 --> 00:00:33.359
And when they get sick,

00:00:33.359 --> 00:00:35.880
they need to go to the toilet -

00:00:35.880 --> 00:00:37.600
this is how it looks, outside,

00:00:37.600 --> 00:00:39.320
just close to the neighbour's toilet.

00:00:39.320 --> 00:00:41.640
And there's no place
to wash your hands there:

00:00:41.640 --> 00:00:43.679
they have to go back to the house,

00:00:43.679 --> 00:00:45.719
where they have water,

00:00:45.719 --> 00:00:48.880
and they wash
in this sort of utensils.

00:00:48.880 --> 00:00:51.039
And then, when they should go

00:00:51.039 --> 00:00:53.960
and wash their clothes,
this is what they have.

00:00:53.960 --> 00:00:56.439
And even if the family
has the best knowledge

00:00:56.439 --> 00:00:58.600
about the risks of infections,

00:00:58.600 --> 00:01:01.159
when one family member get high fever,

00:01:01.159 --> 00:01:03.280
and get sick and diarrhea and coughing,

00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:07.319
there's no way they could isolate
the others from that person.

00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:12.280
The home is just
too crammed, too small.

00:01:12.280 --> 00:01:14.599
So they really need
as soon as possible

00:01:14.599 --> 00:01:17.000
to get the Ebola treatment units,

00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:19.200
the mobile hospitals in place,

00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:20.920
so that the sick family member

00:01:20.920 --> 00:01:23.640
could be brought there
and treated in a way

00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:26.000
so that they don't
infect anyone else.

00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:28.519
That's the way 
to stop the Ebola epidemic

00:01:28.519 --> 00:01:29.920
right now, where it is.

00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:29.920


00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:29.920


00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:29.920


00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:29.920


00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:29.920


00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:38.840
