Lindsay sat on the hospital bed and glanced at the opening outside the window, then put away the newspaper in her hand.
He was treated with medication to regain his consciousness, and one hand was fixed to the hospital bed. In order to prevent him from getting sick, the hospital did not let them free at all.
The hospital bed not far next to him was the patient who was sent in shortly after he was sent to the isolation room. He was also infected with Reedman virus and used the improved HX3 drug to restore his consciousness.
This is the hardest-hit area in Belgium. There are two patients in one isolation room. Because there are too many patients, the isolation area here is already overcrowded. Before there is no specific medicine to treat it, I am afraid this situation will continue for an unknown period of time.
"When do you think the special medicine will be available?" Lindsay said, her voice not tired but also a little uneasy. This kind of life of waiting to die is not easy for anyone.
"I don't know." The patient opposite Lindsay shook his head. He was not in a good mental state. His name is Maude, and he once introduced himself to Lindsay. The two of them can be considered friends in need. In this closed isolation room, they chatted when they were bored, and they have already become familiar with each other.
"I don't know how long this medicine will last," Lindsay said.
"Haha, I guess it will be soon. I feel a little wrong now." Maude smiled bitterly and said nothing.
Lindsay came back to her senses, her pupils shrank, and when she looked at Maude again, she was already shaking her head, as if she wanted to get rid of something in her head.
"Go away, go away!!"
"Ghost, ghost, don't come here."
"Go to hell."
Suddenly, when Maude saw Lindsay, panic appeared on her face. She kept pulling on the hands tied to the hospital bed, retracting her body to the corner of the hospital bed, and waving her other hand constantly, as if she saw the moment. Its scary stuff.
Seeing this scene, Lindsay's pupils shrank and fear arose in her heart.
This is the state after the onset, with no self-awareness at all, like a mentally ill madman. I'm afraid that when I get sick, I won't be much better than this.
A feeling of despair came over him, making him completely panicked.
…
"The injection is successful, let him go."
In the isolation area of Los Angeles, Tivin pulled out the syringe from the patient's body, quickly retreated one meter away from the hospital bed, and stared at the patient who was struggling crazily on the bed.
Five minutes passed, and the patient on the bed showed no intention of stopping. He still looked at him with crazy eyes, as if he was seeing an enemy.
This scene made the medical staff nearby feel excited.
"Dr. Tivin, why isn't the patient better yet?"
"The HX3 potion has failed." Tiwen's voice was extremely heavy, and the haze in his heart became even thicker.
"Then what should we do?" The medical staff's voice was a little panicked.
"Secure him like this and don't let him go." Tiwen said: "Please pay attention to other isolation rooms. If the medicine is ineffective, notify me immediately."
"Okay." The medical staff agreed hurriedly.
After leaving the isolation room, Tiwen felt his heart heavy and he was a little panicked, but he had to force himself to calm down.
The HX3 potion has failed.
The worst happens.
Once the medicine fails on the patient, it means that the first users will become delirious again, which will be a disaster for the entire world.
And the disaster has arrived.
…
East China Sea, Tokyo, New York, Ottawa, Paris, London, Berlin, Amsterdam…
Similar things are happening in every corner of the world.
The improved HX3 drug failed in the first batch of patients, and in more and more patients, the virus in their bodies awakened and the disease relapsed. In just one day, 227 people died due to recurrence of the disease worldwide.
The news plunged the world into unprecedented panic.
When many infected people see their fellow patients who have relapsed, their mentality has collapsed and they are desperate. They cry and beg doctors for treatment, but the response they get is just a sigh of regret.
Death, despair, and fear are the themes of the quarantine area. All kinds of negative emotions seem to be holding the hand of death in their hearts and can take away their lives at any time.
The first batch of potions failed, and the month-long delay had passed. However, various medical teams around the world still have no good news about drug breakthroughs, which has caused many frontline medical staff to collapse.
…
"Director, there are more and more out-of-control patients. There are not enough isolation rooms and beds, and there are not enough medical personnel. There are not enough masks, protective clothing, gloves, syringes, sedatives, ambulances, etc. Urgently needed medical equipment is already in short supply. , we need a lot of medical supplies, is there any new news from above?"
Luo Xie looked at the middle-aged and elderly man wearing glasses in front of him. He was Matt, the director of Victoria Hospital. Seeing that Matt didn't speak, Luo Xie felt anxious and continued to ask questions.
"HX3 medicine can only last for one month. Are there any new medicines at the institute?"
"No." Matt shook his head solemnly: "Not in the whole world. According to the WHO, research teams from various countries around the world have tried more than 4,290 drugs, but all of them are ineffective against the virus. This virus is terrifyingly overbearing."
"So what should we do now? The hospital can no longer accommodate so many patients. There are still a steady stream of confirmed cases. If this continues, once the critical point is exceeded, it will be completely over. The medical staff in the entire hospital will be exposed to the virus environment, and the probability of infection will increase. Rising. And if medical staff are infected, this vicious cycle will start, and the entire hospital will become a dead building."
Luo Xie's voice was anxious.
Since the outbreak of the virus, many medical staff have been infected and died, which has put great psychological pressure on front-line medical staff. If other problems arise, I'm afraid this virus will really get out of control.
The air fell into dead silence, and except for Luo Xie and Matt, everyone else felt heavy.
After a long time, Matt spoke slowly.
"Jointly request the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to establish a centralized isolation area. This will facilitate management and eliminate the need for manpower to be spread too thin. Before there is a specific drug, single isolation of patients will have no effect and will only increase manpower and workload."
The other doctors nodded in agreement.
The UK is one of the hardest-hit areas. The number of sick people in the country has exceeded 5,000. This does not include those who have died and the number of patients who died violently. There are more than 150,000 people in isolation. This is only the number in the UK. Other hardest-hit areas, Some are more terrifying.
The number of confirmed cases and deaths is reaching new highs every day, which is already a very dangerous number.
If any isolation point gets out of control, it will really be a catastrophe. Centralized management of all patients makes it more convenient. There is currently no specific medicine for treatment, and even isolation alone will not be of much use. Under special circumstances, we can no longer take care of other issues, otherwise the epidemic will be even more terrifying if it gets out of control.
The British Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced the establishment of three centralized isolation areas, where all confirmed patients will be managed in centralized isolation.
The news shocked the medical community.
The epidemic has reached the point where it is almost out of control. If this continues, no one can guarantee what horrific outcome this disaster will bring.
Not long after the establishment of centralized isolation areas in the United Kingdom, other hardest-hit areas in Europe and the United States also announced the establishment of centralized isolation points in the hardest-hit areas, and sent all confirmed patients to the isolation areas for centralized isolation and management by military chemical defense forces.
At this time, the number of confirmed cases worldwide has reached 70,000, and the death toll is refreshing every day. There are as many as 2 million people in quarantine around the world. Every time a patient is found, everyone who has come into contact with him will be quarantined.
Under various strict restrictive measures, the crazy spread of the Reedman virus has begun to ease, but the death toll is also increasing. In the centralized isolation area, people die, despair, and collapse every day. Some patients who are still conscious choose to commit suicide and die with dignity.
The news that comes one after another makes everyone feel heavy. If there is no specific medicine, it means that all infected people will die, which will be a catastrophic figure.
