2014年2月,埃博拉病毒在西非爆发,随后蔓延至美国、印度等地,不断升级的疫情让全世界都绷紧了神经,极高的致死率令人闻之色变。对于这种主要依靠接触传播的病毒,隔离无疑是最有效的防护手段,但它却切断了患者与外界的联系,给患者和医护人员带去无尽的心理压力。平日里,我们不经意间的一次触碰可能微不足道,但在疫区,人与人之间的触碰却有了传递温暖、重塑希望的力量。 In February 2014, the Ebola virus broke out in West Africa and subsequently spread to the United States, India and other places. The escalating epidemic has tightened the nerves around the world and the extremely high fatality rate has changed dramatically. Isolation is undoubtedly the most effective means of protection against this virus, which is mainly transmitted by contact, but it cuts off the connection between the patient and the outside world and brings untold psychological pressure on patients and health care workers. On weekdays, we may touch a touch inadvertently. However, in the endemic areas, the touch between people has the power to transmit warmth and reshape hope.
