No matter which country it is, or the World Health Organization, there is an emergency plan for the epidemic.
For example, in the current emergency situation, conventional vaccine clinical trials cannot meet the transmission timing of the virus, so emergency clinical trials are very important.
If Chen Chen just wanted to protect himself, he could just notify the Ministry of Health of the Namibian government directly, and the other party would 100% agree to this emergency clinical trial.
However, Chen Chen also wants to use this matter to expand his influence, expand the company's international reputation, and even create a savior image, so it is very important to say hello to the World Health Organization.
Regardless of whether the World Health Organization agrees with this emergency clinical trial or not, Chen Chen will continue it.
The application for emergency clinical trials had just been submitted, and before the other party agreed, the Life Sciences City quickly started operating.
At this time, the sky was covered with dark clouds. Chen Chen personally led a group of black knights to climb onto the steel tower and looked into the distance.
But under the dim sky, rows of temporary relief tents lined both sides of the road stretching from the city to the sky. Tens of thousands of victims gathered under the city, forming a unique refugee camp.
These people were already in ragged clothes, their bodies were skinny, and they were covered in blood. They gathered under the city gate, looking up at the tower with numb expressions, waiting for the next distribution of food and medicine.
As time goes by, more and more refugees gather here, because the time for the daily distribution of supplies is coming soon.
Looking at the refugees who looked like a wave of corpses, Chen Chen shook his head.
If Namibia could be a little richer, the social system would not collapse when encountering this virus.
The medical and health environment in Namibia itself is extremely poor. There are only one or two hospitals in each city. Some villagers need to travel dozens of kilometers on foot to get treatment.
Moreover, per capita income is too lagging behind, causing most people to be unable to afford high medical expenses, further exacerbating this environment.
This is one of the reasons why the virus is so rampant in Namibia.
Not only Namibia, but many countries even poorer than Namibia were defeated in this battle.
Moreover, the cultural environment in Africa is also the reason why the virus is raging.
Most African residents have the custom of hunting wild animals such as chimpanzees, monkeys and bats for food. Some pathogens that threaten humans, such as AIDS, are transmitted from wild animals to humans through this route.
Local funeral customs in Africa are also the culprit behind the spread of BE-006—in some village customs, after a villager dies, the body must be handled by relatives before being buried. For example, in deceased villagers, the relatives of the deceased will place the body at home. His wife, mother and some female relatives cleaned and cut him open to remove the food and feces remaining in his digestive tract. They had to wait until they were clean before he could be buried.
During the entire process, all operators did not wear any protective equipment, not even gloves.
Moreover, after an epidemic breaks out, refugees will choose to flee the village immediately, but they do not understand that when they flee the village, they also bring this deadly virus to further places...
The virus spread so easily.
Poor medical facilities, lack of health education, and local cultural customs have turned Africa into a petri dish for viruses.
Now, Chen Chen has blocked the Life Sciences City and set up a rescue point outside the city to prevent international public opinion, which has exacerbated the spread of the virus.
Because of the creation of the rescue point, hundreds of thousands of refugees had to go here in order to survive. Medical supplies could not keep up, so they had to reluctantly use disaster relief tents to accommodate these people.
But if Chen Chen really wants to control the epidemic, the first thing he has to do is to prepare an isolation room for everyone, and at the same time equip each patient with a full set of intensive care units. With careful symptomatic treatment, perhaps the fatality rate of Ebola can be reduced can be reduced by more than one third.
But if we really do that, tens of billions of dollars would not be able to fill this bottomless pit, let alone billions. Moreover, the international aid supplies are not for Chen Chen, but for all African countries. When they reach the hands of the Namibian government, they will only The remaining few million dollars are a drop in the bucket.
With no isolation room, no disinfection facilities, and no intensive care unit, the rescue site outside the Life Sciences City not only failed to become a shelter for refugees, but instead became a hunting ground for the virus to kill.
At first, the Life Sciences City was still able to clean up the dead bodies, but as the refugees became more and more emotional, Chen Chen had already issued an order that no one was allowed to leave the city.
Among the help the Namibian government gave Chen Chen, in addition to the 5,000-strong army, the remaining officials went abroad. Those who were unable to go abroad also put their entire family in the Life Sciences City.
The entire country has basically entered a state of anarchy.
In order to prevent the media from being accused of his inaction, he only asked the Life Sciences City to release some disinfectant and compressed food from the tower every day to hang the lives of this group of people.
A sense of despair envelopes the refugee camp outside the city. Due to the lack of order, it has completely become a paradise for viruses and crime.
Looking at the hell-like scene below the city, Chen Chen had no expression on his face. He stretched out his hand to wave, and an interpreter came over with a flattering look on his face.
The translator was a middle-aged black man. He was holding a stack of speech scripts in his hand. He nodded and bowed to Chen Chen and said, "Mr. Chen, do you want to start now?"
"Let's get started." Chen Chen replied.
"good!"
The middle-aged man walked into a closed space, then took off the helmet of the protective suit, then turned on the broadcast, and said to the microphone in front of him: "Ahem, fellow Owambo people, fellow Bantu people , as well as the Himba and other Namibian citizens, this is the Life Sciences City under Blacklight Biotechnology Company."
As the black man spoke, a loud broadcast resounded throughout the refugee camp. Countless refugees turned their heads numbly, and then stood up one after another. Their survival instinct made them converge towards the Life Sciences City.
"My fellow compatriots, the plague has ravaged our homes, and we have left our homes to seek help. Fortunately, Blacklight Biotechnology Company is willing to lend a helping hand to save us..."
The black man said affectionately, "They are like the light of salvation, illuminating our broken bodies and sinful souls, and now, they have developed a vaccine that can save us! As long as the vaccine can be successfully tested, we will We can escape the favor of the God of Death and return to our homeland!"
Listening to the black man in the radio room who broadcast in English first, Chen Chen's mouth twitched. He wanted to know who wrote this manuscript.
The black man's voice continued, "Today, the Life Science City will start the BE-006 vaccine clinical trial. Now it is recruiting 5,000 healthy citizens. As long as the body does not have any symptoms, you can participate in the registration!"
