来自生态健康联盟的威廉·卡瑞许说，其实事态原本不至于这样。

“You have outbreaks in Uganda and they have invested in their health systems and they have invested in their education systems. So, of course, they still have these outbreaks but they’re controlled very rapidly, " said Karesh.

卡瑞许说：“在乌干达也有疫情。但他们在医疗和教育上做了投入。理所当然地，尽管有疫情，但是很快就得到了控制。”

Once this outbreak ends, Karesh says, health officials need to start preparing for the next one with better labs and hospitals, and more public information on how to prevent infection.

卡瑞许说，一旦这次疫情得到了控制，卫生官员需要着手提升实验室、医院和疾病预防知识宣传的水平，以备下一次疫情的到来。

“We can’t stop earthquakes, but we can prevent a lot of the damage of earthquakes. And it’s the same with these emerging diseases and Ebola, " he said.

卡瑞许说： “我们不能阻止地震，但我们可以杜绝许多地震带来的危害。这同样适用于埃博拉和其他新型疾病。”

If governments invest in better education and healthcare systems, he says, the next outbreak could be less deadly.

他说，如果政府能够加大对教育和医疗的投入力度，下一次疫情就不会如此致命。
