209 - Clinical Trials

No matter which country or the World Health Organization has an emergency plan for the outbreak.

For example, in the current emergency situation, conventional vaccine clinical trials simply cannot meet the timing of the spread of the virus, so emergency special clinical trials are very important.

If Chen Chen only wants to protect himself, he can directly notify the Ministry of Health of the Namibian government, and the other party will agree to this emergency clinical trial 100%.

However, Chen Chen also wants to expand his influence through this matter, expand the company's international popularity, and even create an image of a savior, so it is important to say hello to the World Health Organization.

It's just that no matter whether the World Health Organization agrees with this emergency clinical trial or not, Chen Chen will continue to carry it out.

The application for the emergency clinical trial had just been submitted, and without waiting for the other party's consent, the Life Science City was quickly operational.

At this time, the sky was full of dark clouds, and Chen Chen personally led a group of black knights to climb the steel city tower built and look into the distance.

However, under the dim sky, rows of temporary relief tents on both sides of the road spread from the city to the sky, and tens of thousands of victims gathered under the city, forming a unique refugee camp.

The men, already ragged, emaciated, and covered in blood, gathered under the city gates, looking up numbly at the tower, waiting for the next distribution of food and medicine.

As time passed, more and more refugees gathered here, as the time for the daily distribution of supplies was approaching.

Looking at the refugees who seemed to be like corpses, Chen Chen shook his head.

If Namibia had been a little richer, the social system would not have collapsed at the touch of the virus.

Namibia's health care environment is inherently poor, with only one or two hospitals in each city, and some villagers have to walk dozens of kilometers to get to where they want to be treated.

Moreover, this situation is further exacerbated by the fact that per capita incomes are too backward for most people to afford high health care costs.

That's one of the reasons why the virus is raging in Namibia.

Not only Namibia, but many poorer countries than Namibia are on the verge of collapse in this battle.

Moreover, the human environment in Africa is also the reason for the rampant spread of the virus.

Most of Africans have the custom of hunting wild animals such as chimpanzees, monkeys and bats for food, and some pathogens that threaten humans, such as AIDS, are transmitted from wild animals to humans through this route.

The local funeral customs in Africa are also the culprits of the spread of BE-006 - in some villages, after the death of the villagers, the body must be processed by relatives before being buried, such as the deceased villagers, the deceased's relatives will place the body at home, and the wife, mother and some female relatives will wash and dissect him together to remove the remaining food and feces in the digestive tract, and must wait until it is cleaned before burial.

During the whole process, all the operators did not wear any protective equipment, not even gloves.

And when the outbreak of the epidemic, refugees will choose to flee their villages immediately, but they do not understand that they are fleeing their villages and bringing the deadly virus further afield......

The virus spread so easily.

The lack of medical facilities, the lack of health education, and local cultural practices have led to Africa becoming a petri dish for the virus.

Now, Chen Chen's blockade of the Life Science City, and at the same time, in order to prevent international public opinion, set up rescue points outside the city, which has exacerbated the spread of the virus.

Because of the birth of the rescue site, hundreds of thousands of refugees have to travel here in order to survive, and medical supplies cannot keep up, so they can only reluctantly use relief tents to accommodate this group of people.

However, if Chen Chen really wants to control the epidemic, the first thing he needs to do is to prepare isolation rooms for everyone, and at the same time equip each patient with a full set of intensive care units, and with careful symptomatic treatment, perhaps the fatality rate of Ebola can be reduced by more than one-third.

But if you really do that, let alone billions, tens of billions of dollars can't fill this bottomless pit, and the international aid is not for Chen Chen, but all African countries have a share, and only a few million dollars are left in the hands of the Namibian government, which can be described as a drop in the bucket.

With no isolation rooms, no disinfection facilities, and no intensive care units, the rescue sites outside the life sciences city have not only become shelters for refugees, but have become hunting grounds for the virus to kill as much as possible.

At first, Life Science City still had the ability to clean up the dead bodies, but as the refugees' emotions became more and more intense, Chen Chen had already issued an order that no one was allowed to leave the city.

Among the help given to Chen Chen by the Namibian government, in addition to the army of 5,000 people, the rest of the officials went abroad, and those who could not afford to go abroad also put their families in the life science city.

The whole country has basically entered a state of anarchy.

In order to prevent the media from seizing on him for inaction, he only asked the Life Science City to put some disinfectant and compressed food from the city tower every day to hang the lives of this group of people.

An air of desperation hangs over the refugee camp outside the city, which has been completely reduced to a haven of viruses and crime because of the lack of order.

Looking at the hellish scene under the city, Chen Chen's face was expressionless, he stretched out his hand and beckoned, and a translator walked over with a flattering look on his face.

The translator was a middle-aged black man, he was holding a stack of speeches in his hand, and at this time he nodded at 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 confined space, then took off the helmet of the protective suit, then turned on the radio, and said into the microphone in front of him: "Ahem, all the compatriots of the Ovanbo tribe, the compatriots of the Bantu tribe, and the Simba people and other Namibian citizens, this is the life science city under the Black Light Biotechnology Company." ”

As the black man spoke, the loud radio resounded throughout the camp, and countless refugees turned their heads numbly, and then got up one after another, and the instinct to survive made them converge towards the life science city.

"Fellow citizens, the plague has ravaged our homeland, we have left our homes to ask for help, but fortunately, Blacklight Biotechnology is willing to lend a hand to save us......"

"They are like the light of salvation that illuminates 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 can escape the favor of death and return to our homeland! ”

Listening to the black man in the radio room who broadcast in English first, the corners of 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 clinical trial of the BE-006 vaccine, and now recruit 5,000 healthy citizens, as long as the body does not have any symptoms, they can participate in the registration!" ”
