Chapter 299: A New Virus
Shi Yin didn't know English, so he could only click on the photo and show it to Ye: "Look at this?" ”
The photograph is a parody image with prominent colored characters on it, and a man pits his avatar on the head of a bug.
When absorbing, it was not the man with exaggerated movements and expressions that was hidden, but a slightly vague bug.
The insect is large, with two heads and a spike on the top of its head, similar in appearance to a human body, with an iron-black body and short hairs.
Shiyin knows this creature.
"Bugs?" Ye Qing frowned.
"I don't know what it's called, but I've seen this bug, in antiquity."
Ye Qing took the phone, relevant information.
Two months ago, affected by a meteorite, a satellite of country A had an accident, and the satellite debris fell to a city on the west coast of country A.
Country A has a well-developed information industry, and the matter of a meteorite hitting a satellite is a major event, and the matter of extraterrestrial creatures is going on and on.
The relevant departments refuted the rumors, but it did not have much effect, and the netizens who took pictures of alien creatures in country A uploaded a lot of pictures on the Internet in order to satirize the behavior of the relevant departments, and after the person was arrested for the crime of endangering public safety, someone spoofed this set of pictures.
"What's going on?" Shi Yin asked.
Ye Qing said the general situation, and did not say anything else.
She wasn't in the mood to worry about anything else.
The next day, the two of them left the hotel.
Hu Yingfeng inquired about inside the hospital yesterday and learned that there is no effective control method for the new virus for the time being, and the mortality rate is quite high.
That night, Hu Yingfeng went to HK.
Although the access roads are blocked, Hu Yingfeng can always find a way out of Guangdong, which is fortunately not far from HK.
Ye Qing can't use the bell to open the passage back to the ancient times now, and before leaving, Hu Yingfeng repeatedly emphasized that he should let Shi Yin look at Ye Qing and not let her go back alone.
Early in the morning, Ye Qing and Shi Yin prepared to return to Jinghua City.
Jinghua is more than 2,000 kilometers away from Guangdong City, and they can go back by plane the fastest.
The land, sea and air passages in Guangdong are all restricted, but this is limited to ordinary citizens, and medical workers and virus experts who are going to Guangdong are entering by air, and Ye Qinghe Shi Yin went to the airport as medical personnel.
There were few in the waiting hall and no one at the boarding gate, so the two had to wait in the bathroom.
Until a plane lands and the passengers on it go out.
Ye Qing and Shi Yin walked onto the boarding bridge.
They were only halfway through when they saw a young man panic out of the hatch.
"Wait a minute." Ye lightly pulled Shi Yin, and she squatted down to tie her shoes.
When she got up again, the young man ran past the two of them.
Shi Yin raised his eyebrows and said in a low voice: "Demon Qi." ”
Ye Qing followed and looked closely, and he could see the prototype of the young man through his human form.
"Ancient creatures, green cultivators, have the effect of warding off evil spirits."
She was in a hurry to return to Jinghua, but she still followed the young man back.
I don't know what the plague in Guangdong has to do with him.
The young man, with a computer bag and two suitcases in his hands, ran all the way until he reached a VIP lounge.
"Lan Qing, here!" Outside the VIP lounge, a middle-aged man waved to him.
"Professor Xie, I've found the information." Lan Qing pulled out a document from her computer bag.
Professor Xie took the document and roughly flipped through it: "It's okay that it's all here." ”
"Professor Xie, you fell asleep on the plane just now when I told you, and I'll tell you about the situation here?"
"I have a problem with wanting to sleep as soon as I get on a plane."
"What's wrong with this, you haven't closed your eyes for three days, you're so tired!"
Professor Xie cleared his throat: "Say, after sleeping for a while, I am much more awake." ”
After the two entered the VIP lounge and sat down in the corner, Lan Qing whispered about the virus.
"The outbreak of plague in Guangdong City, initially, the virus was transmitted through rats, a sanitation worker in the suburbs of Guangdong City was bitten by a rat when he was at work, according to the data, he went to the health and epidemic prevention station to get vaccinated, but three days after he was bitten, his family said that he had a fever, weakness in his limbs, and his eyes were bloodshot, and the whole eyeball was blood-red, and when he was sent to the hospital, the doctor diagnosed it as plague."
Plague has had many pandemics in the history of the world, killing tens of millions, and the case fatality rate is extremely high, and by the 21st century, plague has been treatable, and the use of antibiotics has reduced the case fatality rate of plague to 510.
"On the day after the doctor's treatment, the sanitation worker's condition improved, but in the early morning of the next day, he had convulsions and then fell into a coma, and at the same time, his wife had similar symptoms, the sanitation worker died half a month later, and his wife also died 18 days later."
"The clinical manifestations of plague include fever, severe toxemia symptoms, lymphadenopathy, pneumonia, bleeding tendency, etc., but the manifestations of these two people do not fully match."
"At the beginning of this month, the Guangdong Central Hospital received eight patients, who had not been bitten by rats, all of them had fever and red eye symptoms, and their family members also felt unwell a day or two later, and all of them had convulsions and drowsiness during the observation period."
"At the hospital near the sanitation worker's home, another person was bitten by a rat with similar symptoms."
"So far, the case fatality rate is as high as 100 percent!"
Lan Qing felt heavy when he said this number, and Professor Xie, who was listening to him, gasped even more.
The new virus AD17 began to be transmitted by mice, with an incubation period of 23 days, the main symptoms were fever and red eyes, and the onset of the disease was 1530 days, which was manifested in convulsions, drowsiness, and even coma, until organ failure and rapid death.
The transmission route of the virus, rat flea bites, skin wounds, saliva and blood.
The most worrying thing is that there is no effective treatment!
The plague outbreak in Guangdong was so rapid that it was difficult to cover it up.
In order to prevent more people from being infected with the virus, the government had to issue a notice saying that there was a plague in Guangdong, ordering all schools, factories, shopping malls and companies to stop, and the relevant departments would arrange food distribution in a unified manner.
The city lockdown is only down to the traffic management centers, and even if there are citizens who want to drive away, they can't leave for the time being.
After the city was blocked, the central government sent special forces to take over the security of Guangdong City and transferred several domestic virus experts.
In the VIP lounge, there were only five people in total, and when Lan Qing reported the situation to Professor Xie, in the corridor outside the lounge, Ye Qing and Shi Yin had already heard it clearly.
It seems that the green cultivators are Professor Xie's assistants, and they are now coming to Guangdong City, and they should be transferred by relevant departments to solve the plague problem.
"Let's go." Ye Qing motioned for Shi Yin to leave with her.
Shi Yin didn't say anything, he was about to turn around when a team of special forces appeared at the end of the corridor.
