Chapter 1194: The whole world has a cold
Following
When Jiang Hao went to Anne Manor to teach, he found that there were a lot more people waiting next to him, and two men in black stared at Jiang Hao from a distance, as if they were afraid that he would do something obscene to the princess.
Jiang Hao knew that this was a prison and warning from the royal family.
"Anne, let's start today's training." Jiang Hao didn't care about this, and said with a smile to Annie.
"Okay." Anne was silly and couldn't feel anything at all.
In fact, it's okay like this, she's in charge of happiness, and some messy things, there's no need to pollute her.
At the end of the training, Anne took the towel handed by the servant, wiped the slight sweat from her sideburns, and asked with a smile, "Jon, where are we going to play today?" ”
Jiang Hao glanced at the housekeeper who was staring at him next to him, and gave Anne a smile, "I'm a little busy these days, I'm afraid I can't take you out to play." ”
Anne was a little disappointed, "Okay, you go about your own business first, and we'll go out when we have time." ”
......
City of London,
A young man walked into the hospital coughing, his face was very unpleasant, and the doctor handed him a thermometer, and then asked, "What's wrong with it?" ”
"Doctor, since last night, I have had a fever, cough, sneezing, and a sore throat." The young man said.
The doctor shone a small flashlight on his throat, picked up the stethoscope and listened to the lung sounds, "It's a cold, it's not a big deal, I'll prescribe you a few pills, you go back and eat it and sleep again, tomorrow it is estimated that it will be about the same." ”
The young man took the medicine and left, went to the vegetable market, shopping mall and other places to go around, bought some needed things before returning home, he did not realize that the circle in a crowded place, a few sneezes, the virus was transmitted to thousands of people.
The next day.
The young man woke up to find that his cold symptoms were still not improving, but felt even more uncomfortable, and he had to come to the clinic again, "Doctor, I didn't get better after taking your medicine, but my condition worsened, and now I have chills, headache, joint pain all over my body, and some diarrhea." ”
The doctor examined the patient again and found that this guy's condition had indeed worsened, and there was even a sound in his lungs, which was the rhythm of turning into pneumonia, "It's okay, it's not a big problem, I'll prescribe you some anti-inflammatory drugs again, the flu has a cycle, take the medicine and go back and sleep again, it is estimated that it will be much better tomorrow." ”
Same words again.
But on the third day, the young man came again, this time his face was even worse, and he walked tremblingly, "Doctor, I'm so uncomfortable, I feel like I'm going to lose my breath." ”
The doctor was also shocked, took out a stethoscope and listened, and found that this guy's pneumonia was very serious, and immediately asked the patient to be hospitalized, began to give him infusions, and used penicillin.
Penicillin can now be said to be a miracle drug, since it was developed, it has saved the lives of countless people, and it is a dragon-slaying weapon for human beings to resist inflammation.
But this time it didn't, the young man's fever never went away, although the pneumonia did not continue to worsen, but there was no sign of improvement, as long as the infusion was stopped, the fever would immediately recur again the next day, and it was so deadlocked.
This young man's illness is not unique.
These days, many patients have come to major hospitals and clinics in the UK, almost all of them are one symptom, fever, cough, fatigue, loss of appetite, sore throat, body aches, headache, chills, followed by diarrhea and vomiting, and in severe cases, pneumonia and respiratory failure.
When the number of people increased, the hospital reported the situation to the British Department of Public Health, and began to pay attention to it, and after statistics, it was found that the situation in the whole United Kingdom was already very serious, London had infected more than 100,000 people, and the hospitals were overcrowded.
Not only London, but also other counties have seen a large number of patients with the same type of flu, and it is clear that the virus is spreading rapidly.
A senior medical expert in the United Kingdom said worriedly after studying the patient's condition: "Obviously, this flu is different from the past, it is not a seasonal cold, but a viral flu, the spread is very fast, this virus can be spread through almost all kinds of channels, item contact, food contact, droplets and even air, which makes it difficult to prevent, what is more terrible is that the most effective drug penicillin, can not deal with this virus, I even doubt that this flu will be similar to the Spanish flu kind of virus, That's worrying to me. ”
The expert's words were published in the newspapers by reporters, and immediately caused panic among the people, you know, the Spanish flu is a demonic term in Europe, when the terrible outbreak of the flu infected the whole world, with incomplete statistics, in that flu that lasted more than a year, about 20 million people died, far more than the number of deaths in World War I.
It has only been more than 20 years since the Spanish flu, many of the people who survived that year are still alive, the horrific scene at that time still remains in people's hearts, there are dead people everywhere, every day there are special corpse collectors to collect the corpses in every house, and then pull them to the incinerator to burn them, many people have no funerals, because there are too many people who died, in that flu, countless people's relatives died, and now many people have not come out of the shadow of that time.
Now that some experts say that the Spanish flu is here again, and the best drug penicillin cannot be treated, how can this keep the people from panicking.
Public Health England has issued an alert to the public, asking people to stay away from infected people, avoid contact with people with flu-like symptoms, and send family members and friends to the hospital if they find symptoms such as fever, cough, and runny nose.
Pay attention to personal hygiene, exercise frequently, wash hands frequently, keep ventilation indoors, avoid crowd gatherings, avoid going to crowded places, wear masks and gloves when going out, and take some drugs that can improve your own immunity.
As soon as this announcement came out, it confirmed the terrible nature of this flu, and the British people became extremely nervous, everyone was in danger, and many schools even chose to temporarily suspend classes to avoid cross-infection caused by student gathering.
The traffic of major markets and shopping malls in the United Kingdom has suddenly decreased by eighty percent, and people will not go to the streets if they can not go to the streets, and they will all stay at home and not go out.
The busiest places right now are the hospitals in the UK.
At the same time, the British royal family also announced that all royal activities would be suspended, and several public events that had been planned were cancelled directly.
But even so, it still did not stop the flu from raging, and the number of infected people across the UK is still exploding, and the number of daily reports is increasing, from the original hundreds of thousands, to a million a week later.
Now the whole of the United Kingdom has a population of only 50 million, and one million infected people is already an extremely terrifying number.
British medical experts are working hard to study this new virus, trying to find a cure, experts have found that this influenza virus is indeed very similar to the pathogen of the Spanish flu, belonging to the new variant of the Spanish flu, and finally named the H2N2 influenza virus.
However, it is easy to find a virus, but it is extremely difficult to defend and treat, in the past, it was normal to study a new drug, as short as a few months, or as long as a few years, but this new virus suddenly broke out, and experts could not come up with a good treatment plan for a while.
Even in the 21st century, when science and technology are more developed, there have still been several large-scale influenza virus outbreaks, swine flu, avian flu, all of which have made the world tremble, so under the developed medical conditions, it will take several months to develop a new drug, not to mention that it is now 1955, and modern medicine has not really been perfected.
Seeing this situation, other countries have issued emergency notices to minimize the movement of people in the UK, all personnel exchanges must be strictly checked, and those with any fever and cough symptoms are prohibited from entering the country, but even so, a week after the outbreak of the influenza virus in the UK, other countries have also appeared one after another.
The United States bore the brunt of the first case in New York, and just after a case, it was like lighting a fuse, and the flu virus exploded, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, Detroit, etc., more than a dozen cities had flu patients, and the number increased at an explosive rate, and it took only one week for the flu population in the United States to exceed two million.
Because of the outbreak of the influenza virus, it has also seriously affected the normal economy and life of the United States, causing great losses.
Not only the United States, but also many European countries also won the bid, France, the Netherlands, Hungary, Spain, etc., and then spread to Australia, some Asian countries were not spared, India, Indonesia, Japan also broke out of the flu.
Countries are in a panic and have activated their epidemic prevention mechanisms.
This fall, the whole world caught a cold.
