Chapter 16 Maque Blue City(1/2)

Every time Ebola goes wherever it goes, people prepare for war because medical advances have not allowed people to stop its attack.

In the absence of specific drugs, the patient can only rely on his or her own immune system to fight the disease, and he can survive as long as he survives seven days.

Fortunately, with the development of medicine, not everything can be done, at least some support can be given to patients.

Allowing patients to have the physical strength to continue fighting the disease will greatly increase the patient's chance of survival.

After the intervention of modern medicine, patients have more chances of survival, which is a kind of progress.

If human civilization continues to develop, modern medicine will inevitably develop by leaps and bounds.

Maybe one day the terminal diseases of the past will be overcome by humans one by one and become a piece of cake.

Of course, human beings today still have too many problems that cannot be solved.

After all, progress cannot be achieved in one step, but is gradual.

The virus is always under study.

The more I study, the more I feel the virus is unpredictable.

It seems that generally the structure of viruses with strong toxicity will be relatively stable.

As a result, the variability of the virus is not very strong, that is, there are relatively few variants.

For example, after several decades, four or five variants of the Ebola virus are now known.

In fact, Ebola was discovered very late, and it is difficult to say whether there was any trace of the Ebola virus before that.

After all, this high fatality rate directly leads to the massacre of villages. Those who have experienced the massacre by the virus have almost died. Who still remembers whether it happened.

With the advancement of science, we were able to see clearly what kind of virus this was, and then we had real examples, identified the virus, recorded the time of the Ebola virus outbreak, and the Ebola virus was discovered.

In fact, the Ebola virus should have existed for a long time, but it just coexisted peacefully with animal hosts. It is not known when the number of ways to infect humans increased. Perhaps with the development of science and technology, the answer will be found.

The most powerful thing about Ebola virus is its high lethality, so its stability is still good. The stability of other viruses is very poor, and it is particularly easy to mutate.

The most common representative of this unstable virus is the influenza virus, which occurs several times a year.

Almost everyone has been infected with the flu virus, and many people pass it without feeling it.

What troubles virologists is that influenza mutates quickly during its spread.

And after this mutation process, dang dang! New influenza viruses are produced.

So don’t think you have acquired antibodies after the flu.

You can do whatever you want without caring about protection.

It's actually very easy to get the flu again.

Because the virus mutates and becomes a new influenza virus.

Influenza is not very toxic, but it can cause myocarditis and other illnesses, so be careful.

It is said that the Spanish Flu, which had been raging around the world for more than two years, mutated.

This mutation caused the fatality rate to rise sharply, from one percent to ten percent.

The number of deaths caused by the influenza virus has soared. Fortunately, the most powerful thing about the influenza virus is its high mutation rate.

It is not an extremely powerful virus that combines high lethality, high contagiousness, and high variability.

If a virus that combines the three highs into one really appears, it will be a fatal blow to mankind.

However, there has not yet been an in-depth study of this rugby-suited virus and its characteristics are unknown.

It is now known that it is highly contagious, which is a big problem for humans.

If the infection is extremely contagious, the number of patients will increase rapidly.

Then the hospital will be overcrowded and all resources will be greatly reduced.

That would be very bad for economic development.

Hey! What should I do?

David still hasn't had a good response.

I hope everyone can come up with a plan as soon as possible.

Most of the people in the group started to contact people, trying to confirm whether it was true or false.

As a result, David, who had been watching, found that no one in the group made any movement.

"David! You should know the phone number of this...city?" Someone wanted to verify it.

The best way is to know the corresponding phone number to find out what's going on, and he will send this question.

"I'll give you the number, but I know that only landlines can be used. Mobile phones in Aiweike City can't make calls or receive messages. Fortunately, the landlines are OK, and you can even fax them. Otherwise, it would be an isolated island.

.”

After a while, everyone tried it one after another. They couldn't connect to mobile phones at all. There were only landlines, but either no one answered or the line was busy. Anyway, it was a very bad feeling. It felt like the city was in another space.

Everyone couldn't help but go back and watch the video again. After watching it, everyone felt the silence of the city.

They also have the illusion that this city is dying because there is no breath of human life.

"What a terrible feeling!" Someone sent this message, followed by repeaters.

David could feel the shock, because this was what he wanted to achieve.

If everyone pays attention to it, they will use various methods to stop it.

"We don't have much time." David said.

Most people in the group had no reply.

David thought for a moment and sent the message again.

"Again: there are many people in Avik City seeking medical treatment."

Some of them are sick, and some are not sick but carry the virus.

"So, let me say this: the next Avik City may be our city."

When David said this, he paused, and the other people's minds were directly attracted to look at that piece of information.

"So you have confirmed that someone left Awick City?" Someone asked this question, how did David know?

"David, are you in Aiweike City?" He then asked. If you are, you must take more videos for everyone to see.

"No, I'm not here. I want to say: if no action is taken, more people will be infected soon, just like the citizens of Avik City."

Looking at the message sent by David, someone finally sent a message: "I will tell the students in Majulan City to see if there are any patients you mentioned?"

Since someone expressed their stance first and wanted to inquire about other people's stance, they would all inquire about some situations to see what is going on?

Most people are still a little skeptical about David's words. After all, no one has received any relevant virus notices.

But thinking about David's reputation, someone discovered that the city closest to Aiweike City was indeed the Oak Blue City that David had mentioned.

Then people from Aiweike City were most likely to go there for medical treatment, so someone called the students specifically to ask.

It turned out that a patient with those symptoms was indeed sent to the hospital, and the symptoms were exactly the same.

His student White is a doctor in a private hospital and has seen the patients brought in.

The family members who brought the patients told them that they were from Aivik City.

People from private hospitals receive money and then treat patients.

The student was shocked when he learned the news.

I asked the treating doctor and nurse, and they basically treated it as a normal medical visit.

There were no special protective measures taken at all, and it was simply too dangerous.

He thought for a moment and then told his students to quickly isolate those patients with red rashes.

Regarding his reminder, his students responded that it shouldn't be a big deal, so why were they so nervous?

In fact, as a doctor, we will encounter some unfamiliar diseases every year, and now a red rash appears.

After looking at the patient's demeanor, he did not appear to be sluggish, and he had no history of contact with Ebola, nor had he been to other continents.

So it can't be Ebola, so what's there to be afraid of? Of course it can't be smallpox. That's a virus that has been exterminated, so there is no possibility of a virus strain emerging.

Although White had some suspicions that the disease was contagious after receiving the diagnosis, his level of caution was not very high. He just asked the medical staff in charge of the patients to wear masks and did not care about anything else.

After hearing what the teacher said, he said with some curiosity: "Okay, we will pay attention, but teacher, how did you know that such a patient would appear?"

He had a day off today and did not go to work. He did not know what his current situation was. He was still washing when he spoke to the teacher.

While the teacher and students were talking, a phone call suddenly came, and he was very surprised when he saw that it was the number of the hospital.

What's going on? Could it be that something happened in the hospital? There was a vague premonition in his heart.

Then he would talk to the teacher, put down the phone, and answer the very familiar call.

I heard the person opposite say in panic: "Dr. White is not good! Something happened now!"

The voice sounded like crying, which startled White. What was going on?
To be continued...
