All the first batch of infected patients died, without exception, and the mortality rate was 100%. This is a despairing mortality rate.
Once infected, if there is no treatment within 15 days of onset, death will occur.
This result has cast a shadow on the hearts of all medical workers. The fear of death that may occur at any time has filled the hearts of medical staff on the front line with an invisible pressure.
The lack of specific drugs and vaccines against Reedman virus has left patients unable to treat and can only die in madness. As time goes on, the number of deaths will increase.
Soon, the hardest-hit areas in Europe have asked the WHO for help. There are not enough medical supplies and medical staff.
Some countries have taken compulsory measures to forcibly isolate all quarantine areas, with only entry and no exit allowed.
Small countries in the hardest-hit areas even concentrated patients in isolation areas, and the military's chemical defense troops were responsible for isolating the concentrated isolation areas.
There is a serious shortage of medical facilities and medical staff, and they are no longer able to take care of the patients' conditions. Now the number of patients has exceeded 30,000, and more than 700,000 people have been quarantined.
If the disease is allowed to spread, it will go out of control, which will be a disaster for all mankind.
The daily outbreaks of the disease show that there is no treatment and if it continues to spread, once it reaches a situation that is completely out of control, this biological terror will reproduce the tragedy of the Black Death in Europe in the Middle Ages.
Some medical staff who accidentally contracted the virus committed suicide due to the pressure. Various news has cast a cloud of terror on the world.
Capital Tangshan Hospital.
Through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the isolation room, Chen Mo, Wu Bing and other members of the medical team were all wearing protective clothing and observing the situation inside the isolation room.
In the isolation room, a medical staff wearing protective clothing was preparing to inject medicine into the patient. A blue potion with no label.
The medicine is HX3 that Chen Mo improved by acquiring the medical technology from the Science and Technology Library.
As a group that has made great achievements during the VFV virus era. At the beginning of the Reedman virus outbreak, they were organized again to look for specific drugs against the Reedman virus.
Chen Mo was also contacted without any surprise and joined the medical team to research specific drugs and treatment plans.
After seeing the information about the Reedman virus, Chen Mo felt its horror. Even Haixing 3, which can reduce the activity of the virus, has no effect, and the specific medicine for the VFV virus has no effect either.
Chen Mo searches for specific drugs in the science and technology library every day, hoping to quickly find a specific drug for Reedmann virus. Unfortunately, there are too many books on drugs, and he is not familiar with them all. Reedmann virus is also a new type of virus and cannot be used at all. To determine which drug is effective against the virus, we can only leave it alone.
In the end, we could only use some special drug technology to improve HX3, which reduces virus activity. Under the guidance of Chen Mo, their team worked on the problem for a month, and they just got some results today.
Experiments in monkeys have been successful. The modified HX3 successfully reduced the activity of Reedman virus and put the virus into a temporary dormant period.
Now comes human clinical trials.
After the medical staff injected the medicine, everyone began to wait.
No one spoke, and every minute seemed as long as an hour.
As time went by, after ten minutes, the patient who was fixed on the bed slowly began to struggle wildly.
Seeing this scene, the people outside the isolation room had a hint of joy on their faces. The instrument is stable, indicating that the patient's body function is stable. After injecting the medicine, the patient did not have any strange reactions, which is a good sign.
"It feels like we are going to succeed." An expert from the medical team said, and the joy in his voice could be clearly felt even though he was wearing a mask.
"Theoretically, there shouldn't be much of a problem," another researcher said.
"Let's take a look at the situation. We can't draw a conclusion until the patient recovers completely," Wu Bing said. She said this, but she already agreed with what the two said in her heart.
Because next to Chen Mo, this man is like a mystery, always able to create miracles and giving people an inexplicable sense of confidence.
"It shouldn't be a big problem." Chen Mo also said. As soon as he finished speaking, the patient on the hospital bed had calmed down and his eyes regained their clarity, which was the look of a normal person.
Zhou Chengming looked at the snow-white ceiling, and the strong smell of disinfectant penetrated the tip of his nose, slowly focusing his dazed mind.
He felt like he had a dream. A murderer came out of the kitchen with a bloody kitchen knife and wanted to kill him. Then he resisted desperately, injured the murderer and ran out. Then he was caught by the murderer's accomplices who injected drugs.
where are you now
Zhou Chengming turned around and saw the unfamiliar environment around him. Various medical instruments, as well as two fully armed medical personnel. This scene made Zhou Chengming panic. Just when I wanted to sit up, I found that my body was fixed to the hospital bed and I couldn't move.
Could the dream be real? Kidnapped by a murderer to harvest organs and conduct experiments
Thinking of this, Zhou Chengming almost shouted out without fear: "Who are you? Why are you arresting me?"
"I'm a doctor." Hearing Zhou Chengming speak, the medical staff injecting the drug was overjoyed and asked, "You were infected with the virus, which caused you to have hallucinations. How do you feel now?"
"Are you a doctor?" Zhou Chengming obviously didn't believe it, and his voice was filled with panic and anger: "You are a doctor, why are you tying me up like this?"
"You have an infectious disease, and this is the isolation room. The murderer you saw was a hallucination caused by the virus affecting your cerebral cortex." The medical staff explained without being anxious. This is a good sign. The patient can communicate normally, indicating that the condition has been temporarily controlled.
"Really?" When he heard about the infectious disease, Zhou Chengming suddenly panicked and believed 80% of the medical staff. Because there was news about infectious diseases during that time before he lost consciousness.
"Really, the virus in your body is currently under control and further treatment is needed." The medical staff said, "In order to prevent you from getting sick again, you must be fixed on the hospital bed. I need to take a blood test from you now."
"Doctor, can I still be cured?" Zhou Chengming looked at the medical staff hopefully.
"Special drugs are being developed here, so don't worry." The medical staff reassured him while drawing blood for Zhou Chengming. Now that Zhou Chengming is an infected person, he must be careful in all his actions.
The virus in the patient's body has entered a dormant phase, and the patient temporarily regains consciousness.
Success! ! !
Upon reaching this conclusion, the entire medical team cheered, and several frontline doctors cried with joy. For nearly a month, they have seen no hope and have only faced the horror of the virus. Now they finally see a glimmer of hope.
"Academician Chen, thank you." Wu Bing was the first to stop his joy and said to Chen Mo.
"Why are you thanking me?" Chen Mo asked strangely.
"Without you, this potion wouldn't have been developed," Wu Bing said. The direction and theory of drug improvement were proposed by Chen Mo. If it hadn't been for Chen Mo, it would have been impossible to find a drug to suppress the activity of Reedman virus so quickly.
"Thank you." Shi Hongtu also solemnly thanked Chen Mo.
"Thank you." After the joy, everyone in the medical team solemnly thanked Chen Mo.
"The results belong to everyone. With everyone's help, the research will be so fast. Now it is just suppressing the activity of the virus, allowing the virus to temporarily enter the dormant period. This period will not be too long. In theory, about half a month, the second The effect will be worse, and the third time will be even worse, and the disease will be prolonged for up to a month. Now is just the beginning, we must find specific drugs or vaccines as soon as possible, otherwise more people will die."
Chen Mo felt helpless at everyone's solemn thanks, but he couldn't be happy because this disaster might just be the beginning.
Without effective medicines and vaccines, this disaster will not end so easily.
…
"News from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: A team of medical experts led by Chen Mo, Wu Bing, Shi Hongtu and others successfully developed drugs that can reduce the activity of Reedman virus."
The news from the China Centers for Disease Control and Prevention came out. Almost on the same day, Haixing Company, which owns the HX3 formula patent, announced that it had signed agreements with 20 pharmaceutical companies around the world. The improved HX3 pharmaceutical formula will be temporarily licensed to major pharmaceutical manufacturers around the world, hoping to mass-produce the improved HX3 pharmaceutical as quickly as possible.
The two pieces of news immediately caused a stir.
At present, no drugs have been found against Reedmann virus, and there is no cure like VFV virus. When the condition was almost out of control, China's medical team once again came out with good news.
Countless family members of patients may have been infected, and those in quarantine cried with joy.
At this tragic time, any bit of good news can be a life-saving straw for many people. Now there is a piece of good news that is not too big or too small, which is enough for many people to see the light of day.
"Thank you Chen Mo, thank you to the Chinese medical expert team, thank you to Haixing Company, and thank you to the medical staff around the world who are fighting the Reedman virus on the front line."
"Thank you Chen Mo, thank you Huaxia Medical Team."
"Thank you, thank you, thank you to the medical team, thank you to all the medical staff around the world. I hope the disaster will pass soon."
"Thank you, thank you, thank you to all the medical staff. I hope this disaster can end soon."
“…”
The news attracted praise from all parties.
Among the many cold death tolls and various data, the improved HX3 agent appeared, like a fire in the ice and snow, making countless patients' families and quarantined personnel feel warm.
Chen Mo, who once played an important role in the VFV biological crisis, stood up again and took the lead in finding an effective drug against Reedman virus.
The appearance of the improved HX3 potion brought Chen Mo's personal reputation to its highest point.
However, the virus crisis did not end with the emergence of the improved HX3 agent. The improved HX3 agent can only put the virus into dormancy and cannot eradicate Reedman virus. Once it cannot be suppressed, the patient will eventually die.
The death cloud of biological terror still hangs over everyone's mind.
PS: I was coding in the early hours of the morning and ended up falling asleep. Now catch up on yesterday’s update. If possible, there will be two more updates tonight.
