c712 “Griffith” virus (please subscribe for a monthly ticket)

Soon, as cases continued to rise, more and more information was being reported about this terrible skin virus.

According to the available information, the virus is a filovirus with an incubation period of about eight to ten days. It is highly contagious. The main way is contact transmission. The infected person will not show any abnormalities during the incubation period. After the onset of the disease, The skin itches like burning, as if the skin has been scalded by boiling water. In the final stage, it causes skin ulceration, which leads to multiple infections, complications, and eventually death from chronic blood loss.

When talking about filovirus, people can’t help but think of the name “Ebola”. The Ebola virus that makes people blush is also a type of filovirus.

The Ebola virus has a biosafety level of four. In the World Health Organization’s virus files, the AIDS virus we know well and other feared viruses are only level three. This virus first appeared in 1967. At that time, people in 55 villages along the Ebola River in the back of Zaire were devastated by being infected with the virus. Some families were not even spared, and the “Ebola virus” was also known as Got its name.

The incubation period of Ebola virus can range from two to 21 days, but is usually only five to ten days. Since the mortality rate of Ebola virus is as high as 90%, some patients develop symptoms 48 hours after being infected with Ebola virus. They died in an ugly manner. The virus spread rapidly and multiplied in the body, attacking multiple organs, causing them to deform, become necrotic, and slowly decompose. Therefore, the World Health Organization classified it as a hazard to humans. One of the most serious viruses.

Ebola virus is a very terrible virus. Just look at its mortality rate, which is as high as 88%, and you will know how terrible it is. To put it bluntly, getting Ebola virus is basically the same as death. No different.

Although the fatality rate of this sudden skin virus is not that high, it is still a scandal, and it can cause itchiness, scratching, and pus ulceration. Although some patients have been cured, it still makes people sick. What is chilling to see is that his appearance and skin will be irreversibly damaged, resulting in extensive disfigurement. Basically, his life will be worse than death.

For this contagious skin virus, the best way is to isolate. The most stringent control measures are to isolate and concentrate all patients infected with this skin virus. But facts have long proven that not everyone has this ability. Even the issue of whether to wear a mask has been quarreling for three years without reaching a consensus. The isolation measures have always made all kinds of jokes.

Even when patients first arrived at the hospital, they were only prescribed some analgesics, analgesics, and skin anti-inflammatory drugs. However, these patients did not know how serious this skin virus was at first, so they continued to work, and even worried that others would look down on them. Keep it hidden. Even if you know about it, you will feel unhappy, why am I infected and you are not infected, and you start to get high.

Suddenly, there were more and more patients infected with the skin virus throughout Los Angeles. More and more people were infected, and everyone in the entire entertainment center was in danger.

Moreover, cities such as New York, Seattle, Miami, Boston, etc. have appeared, and they have crossed the Atlantic and appeared in London, Paris, Sweden, Switzerland, etc. The slow actions of these countries and regions will soon show the negative consequences. .

In just two months, this skin virus bloomed in North America and Europe. At this time, all mankind realized the seriousness of the problem, but the best window for protection had been missed.

Even if there is no mistake, they are completely helpless, because history has proven that whether it is a small flu or a large flu, they are unable to do anything.

“This ‘Griffith’ virus is so terrible. Even if the infection can be cured, it will disfigure you!” Jingtian looked at the news and his face turned pale. As a woman, she is naturally very concerned about her appearance, especially beautiful women. She attaches too much importance to her own appearance. If her face is disfigured, she would rather die. If she died a hundred times, it would not be painful.

Whether it’s the high 1% fatality rate or the patient’s hideous skin, which is bloody and pus-filled, it’s unbearable to look at. It’s hard to imagine how painful it would be for people infected with the Griffith virus, otherwise their skin would be scratched beyond recognition.

Qin Yuanqing also looked seriously at the special report being broadcast on the international channel. The focus at this time was on the City of Angels.

Because the first infected person was named Griffith and lived next to Griffith Park in Los Angeles, this skin virus was named Griffith virus.

At this time, the special report of the international channel was being broadcast live. The situation in the City of Angels showed that this world-famous international metropolis was in complete chaos. All order had collapsed. A large number of patients with skin virus infections entered the hospital and wards. Not enough, medical supplies collapsed, and medical staff were also infected with this skin virus.

What’s even more frightening is that these patients with skin virus infections are so tortured and grumpy that they will tear off their masks and scratch their protective clothing while medical staff are treating them, and come into close contact, causing the medical staff to become infected with this virus. Skin viruses.

Many medical staff were too scared to go to work in the hospital. Even if the hospital offered double the salary, no one was willing to go. This further aggravated the spread of this skin virus and directly caused the fall of this internationally renowned metropolis.

With the collapse of social order, every household is equipped with a gun. They only dare to stay at home and dare not go out. Once someone breaks into the courtyard, the owner will shoot unceremoniously. There are shootings every day, not two at the same time.

The host has guns, and the people infected with the skin virus also have guns. The two sides start shooting at each other. The number of people who die in shootings every day far exceeds the number of people who die from the skin virus infection.

There is no order at all in the entire social order, everything is chaos.

In this chaos, the carnival of “zero dollar shopping” has already been staged. The City of Angels in the news is in a mess. All the goods in major supermarkets have been looted, whether it is food, drink, clothing or clothing. Yes, in short, you don’t have to pay a penny, whoever grabs it belongs to whomever.

Even if the shop owner locked the door early, it was of no use at this time. It was directly smashed open with electric saws and heavy hammers.

Even if the police and the National Guard are dispatched, it will be useless. After all, these skin virus infected people have guns. People who have not robbed will rob stores that sell guns to obtain guns and ammunition. They even attack the police and the National Guard. The team started a real-person CS game. Some people took sniper rifles and shot headshots in high-rise buildings.

The “pirate culture” that worships pirate culture, worships the strong, and worships personal interests is a barbaric culture through and through. It is vividly displayed in this chaotic order, and the evil and ugliness of human nature are staged and displayed in front of the world.

It was also at this moment that people finally realized what civilization is. Civilization is either if you are strong or you are good at packaging.

The hundreds of thousands of National Guardsmen and millions of regular troops seem insignificant at this moment, because the City of Angels is not the only place, other cities are also becoming more and more serious.

And amid this chaos and disorder, the stock market has fallen again and again, until it can no longer collapse. The wealth accumulated by countless people throughout their lives has been wiped out. At this moment, the middle class has suddenly become the proletariat.

Only those smart people can still protect themselves, but they still have to leave North America on private planes carrying gold and other precious metals, jewelry, antiques, etc. To reach this point, they are naturally smarter than everyone else. Everyone has to see it, there is no way to save it.

Qin Yuanqing couldn’t help frowning when he saw it. To be honest, the people suffer when they prosper; when they die, the people suffer! As a kind person, Qin Yuanqing is not willing to see ordinary people suffer. He is obviously the second most powerful country in the world, but he always stumbles on one thing and never learns a lesson. He has to do it almost every ten years. Public health and safety suffer.

Qin Yuanqing just couldn’t understand why a country with such a background could become the world’s hegemon for nearly a hundred years.

It really makes no sense!

But in today’s situation, no one can do anything. They don’t know how to save her. You must know that the medical treatment in North America is still advanced, but it turns out that she is vulnerable to skin viruses. In other words, this is not about medical supplies, but about social organizational capabilities and cultural capabilities. If we are not good at these two aspects, if we are defeated, no matter how good the medical supplies and medical standards are, it will be useless.

Destruction is often much easier than construction.

This principle remains true to this day.

Qin Yuanqing couldn’t help but feel a little headache. Although he had strengthened his efforts at entry and detected the skin virus and extracted the disease strain, there were too few cases and the time was too short. Even though there were several virus laboratories studying this skin virus, virus, but currently the information available is still quite limited, and there is still no clue on how to treat this ‘Griffith’ virus.

As for vaccines and specific drugs, they are still far away.

The 1% fatality rate is just over now. North America has a very high level of medical care and medical supplies. When medical resources are defeated, this fatality rate will increase significantly. But even if calculated based on 1%, nearly 100 million people in the world will die from this skin virus. Even in China, if it is also contributed by the Griffith virus, tens of millions of people will die.

This is undoubtedly unacceptable.

That’s why tomorrow he has to go to Chang’an Street to attend a meeting on whether the prevention and control of Griffith virus is necessary as the country’s top priority.

Obviously, superiors are also feeling the growing danger. Even with China’s current situation, there is no certainty that the ‘Griffith’ virus can be stopped outside the country.

Completed the third update again, shamelessly asking for a subscription and monthly pass! At the end of the book, everyone should stop reading pirated versions. It’s really tiring to publish and revise the anti-theft chapters at three o’clock in the morning every day!
