"Doctor, am I okay?"
Paris, Sainte-Marie Hospital, Wade tapped his temple, shook his dizzy head, and looked expectantly at the doctor in a white coat.
I don’t know why, but I haven’t had much appetite in the past two days, and I always feel dizzy and nauseous.
This is not a good symptom and has never occurred before. He thought he was in good health and had not caught a cold twice a year, but now he had this abnormal situation.
"Have you been anywhere during this time?" The doctor looked at the examination report and asked.
"A week ago, I went to the United States to participate in an economic forum. I am a reporter. After returning from the interview, I have been on vacation and have not been to many places." Wade said.
"Have you ever eaten any food?"
"No, my daily eating habits are fixed." Wade shook his head: "Am I suffering from some disease?"
"Preliminary diagnosis, I haven't found any disease in you. I can't rule out that you have a recent disorder in your work and rest, or you have the sequelae of jet lag. You may just need to rest for two days," the doctor said.
"Is that so?" Vader felt relieved: "Then I'll pay more attention recently."
After receiving the doctor's examination sheet, Wade stood up. The next moment, he felt like the world was spinning and he fell down.
Seeing this scene, the doctor in charge changed his expression, hurriedly supported him, and shouted to the assistant nurse: "Damn it, come help quickly, I'll check him again."
The doctor's voice was not calm. He was sure that he had not misdiagnosed why this situation occurred.
…
The island nation of Tokyo.
Shin Iijima pulled his luggage and walked out of the airport passage. The road was flickering in front of his eyes. Now his head hurt badly and his chest was very tight.
It must be that they have been flying for too long. People like them who often fly around the world and attend various meetings often suffer from jet lag. Similar situations happen a lot, so they will be fine after just two days of rest.
Nobu Iijima didn't think much, he just wanted to rush home and rest, but he felt that the road was getting more and more twisted.
vomit…
The feeling of dizziness became more and more serious, and a sense of nausea came over him, which made Nobu Iijima retching several times and knocking on his stuffy chest.
The next moment, I felt that the world in front of me was spinning, and I fell to the ground. This scene instantly attracted the attention of the surrounding people, and airport personnel immediately ran over.
No one noticed that there were red spots on his exposed skin.
…
"Good morning, Hall."
"Good morning." Hall entered the company, smiled at the female colleague who greeted him, and rubbed his sore head.
"Hall, are you feeling unwell?"
"A little bit. I don't know why, but I haven't been in good spirits these past two days. I've been feeling dizzy and nauseous." Hall sat back at his work position, just in front of his briefcase.
"You work so hard, just take a vacation when you have the chance." The female colleague said with a funny smile.
"hehe… "
Hall smiled softly and took a glass of water. Suddenly he felt dizzy and fell onto the table. The sound of the water glass breaking echoed in the office.
"Call an ambulance!"
The female colleague who had just spoken to Hall changed her face and hurried over. The entire office was hurriedly surrounding her.
"What's that red spot on Hall's arm?"
A strange voice sounded, and everyone followed the voice and looked at Hall's arm. As far as their eyes could see, everyone saw a little abnormal red spot on Hall's arm.
"Could it be an infectious disease?"
This reminder caused everyone's expressions to change dramatically, and they retreated, covering their mouths and noses, as if encountering the plague.

Berlin, Germany.
The female nurse ran into the doctor's consulting room with a look of fear on her face, her hands and feet were trembling, and she was at a loss: "Doctor Howard, come quickly, come and see me."
"What's wrong?" Howard looked at the female nurse in confusion. It was rare to see her so panicked.
"There is a patient who seems to have a physical problem." The female nurse's voice was full of panic.
Howard's expression changed and he stood up quickly: "What happened?"
"A patient suddenly developed red spots on his body." The nurse led Howard towards the ward.
"erythema?"
"Yes, it looks like symptoms of smallpox and chickenpox." The nurse pointed to the bed in the corner, her voice a little panicked. This was the first time she had encountered this situation since she started working: "Look at his body. Could it be an infectious disease?”
Howard looked cautious and carefully examined the patient's arm. A few spots the size of red beans came into view, and several had pustules, which looked extremely scary.
The cautious face suddenly changed.
"Isolate the ward and notify the doctor in the infectious disease department immediately."
Howard's voice changed, and he subconsciously took two steps back.
"Doctor, is this a serious infectious disease?" Seeing Howard's appearance, the patient's voice was filled with panic.
"We're not sure at the moment. We need to check carefully. Don't worry, it shouldn't be a big deal." Howard immediately realized that he was losing his temper and calmed the patient softly.
…
London, Victoria Hospital.
Luo Xie left the laboratory with the inspection report, his face more solemn than ever.
"How is it? How is it? Are the results out?" As soon as he came out, several doctors looked at him with anxious brows, waiting for his answer.
In one day, they had received four patients with similar symptoms. This was definitely not an accident. So as soon as they were notified by the hospital, they came over to check the patient.
"The test results came out and it was not smallpox or chickenpox. The same virus was found in their blood, saliva, sweat and other body fluids, a new type of virus that had never appeared before.
Four affected individuals had generalized macules and herpes, accompanied by fever, and all had similar symptoms. As for other patient characteristics, we need further observation. There is no obvious intersection between the four patients. This virus may be transmitted through non-contact, and the health department may need to be notified to issue an infectious disease warning notice. "
Luo Xie handed the report in his hand to several infectious disease doctors on the field. Seeing the test results, everyone on the field changed their expressions.
"Everyone, a friend of mine in New York has a similar case in his hospital." A doctor took out his mobile phone, clicked on a photo and put it in front of everyone.
"Doctor, doctor, we just found another patient in the inpatient department with similar symptoms to the four people sent here today."
A young doctor ran over to inform, and everyone's expressions changed drastically.
"Notify the hospital immediately. If a similar case is found, isolate him immediately and prevent him from contact with other people. Those who come into contact will also be quarantined and observed immediately." Luo Xie was the first to react and said: "Contact the health department and announce the infection to the society. Disease warning notice.”
