13. Chapter 13
The era we live in is an era of national entertainment, no matter what city it is, what fills our TV screens will always be those brain-dead TV series, those variety shows that do not hesitate to be ugly in order to attract attention, those endless celebrity gossip, and the drafts that are always predetermined...... Of course, there are also various news talk shows that the bricks have appeared. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
I don't like to watch TV, but people like me who don't like watching TV also know how high the ratings of the hit "Civic Front" on Jiayuan Satellite TV are, and it is said that it was once comparable to the Xiaolongbao version of Shendor on Mango Channel, which was also a hit. At least this is really the case in our city, this is because "Citizen Front" is known for being the first time, the first scene, daring to broadcast, daring to speak, and daring to break the news, and the broadcasts are usually social hot issues that citizens are very concerned about.
The interview I'm seeing now is a replay of yesterday's show, and the usual recording of the show was even earlier, and I don't know what is happening in the city right now, but it looks like the guests already knew, or at least predicted.
This large-scale flu has really made the public panic, and some people have heard that this flu is raging everywhere not only in the whole country, but also around the world. Many people think of the 1918 flu, which caused more than 50 million deaths worldwide, although it was due to the medical conditions at the time, especially the lack of antibiotics, but if this flu could not be dealt with with with existing antibiotics, wouldn't it be just as terrible? On the Internet, there are even many people who are rumored that this is a precursor to the imminent end of the world, although these remarks were quickly erased by the Internet police, but the more the Internet police delete similar remarks, the more it seems that this rumor is true.
The show is still going on, and I've never watched similar shows now, but for no other reason, I'm scared, and I really want to learn some clues from this show, even though I know that it's impossible to see any truth in such a show.
"Hello Miss Zhao, please forgive me for being curious about how you got a double doctorate degree at such a beautiful and young age...... Just kidding, as the world's leading leader in the pharmaceutical industry, the Homeland International Pharmaceutical Alliance has been playing a very important role in recent years, so what news does Homeland Pharmaceutical have about the ravages of this flu? ”
As the director of the Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Xia Dingfeng chirped and said something crookedly, and I didn't pay much attention to it, I was more curious about the expression of the beautiful scholar, but this Zhao Shuhuan Zhao beauty did not have the consciousness of being a guest, with a cold face, and her words were also very stingy.
“thehumancontroleverything。” Zhao Shuxi's tone was faint and cold, and she said a sentence in American English, which was pronounced very standardly, and then said in Chinese, which was slightly less fluent than English: "Humans control everything, and I want to say that we can control everything." We live in an era that tells you that there is nothing that technology can't solve. ”
"thehumancontroleverything", I vaguely remember, this is the slogan of Jiayuan Pharmaceutical, compared to the very people-friendly sentence of "our home," which is very close to the people at the headquarters of Jiayuan Group, this sentence obviously has a feeling of looking down on all beings, but its popularity seems to be much higher. After listening to Zhao Shuhuan's words, I better understood the values and attitude of Jiayuan Pharmaceutical.
That Zhao Shuxi's Chinese is really good, although her beautiful face is a little disliked because it is too serious and cold, but I still patiently listen to her say, no matter what, this is better than those brainless dramas worth paying attention to.
"Our researchers are working hard to find a solution, knowing that there are some accidental and some inevitable reasons for the emergence of a new virus. To put it simply, the virus is resistant to existing antibiotics, and new antibiotics must be developed in order to provide effective treatment. Our focus now is on prevention, which is vaccination. Specifically, at present, all hospitals under Jiayuan Pharmaceutical have received a large number of infected patients, and we will vaccinate no less than 10,000 vaccines free of charge under the premise that patients are voluntary. ”
Xia Shiqi's eyes were also a little unhappy about Zhao Shuhuan's overly cold performance, and then she quickly took over the conversation and said, "Hehe, Miss Zhao, can I say that our front reporter has arrived at Jiayuan Central Hospital, the largest hospital under Jiayuan Pharmaceutical?" Director, please contact the reporter Zhou Lingjie in front, thank you...... Hello Lingjie, where is your current position? ”
"Hello host, hello audience. I am Zhou Lingjie, the front intern reporter of Homeland Satellite TV's "Citizen Front", so where I am now can be said to be the entrance of the outpatient building of the Homeland Central Hospital in the provincial capital, which is the most advanced, largest, and highest level of medical care. You can see that the entrance to the hospital behind me is overcrowded, most of them wearing masks like me, full of doubts and fears about this unknown flu. According to our on-site understanding, the Jiayuan Central Hospital has opened a special diagnosis and treatment area to receive the infected patients of the unknown influenza virus, and at the same time organized a special propaganda force to introduce the relevant situation of the Jiayuan No. 1 antiviral vaccine and distribute the voluntary vaccination form. However, we need to further observe whether this is an effective treatment plan and whether the doubts of the general public can be dispelled. Now, let me conduct a live interview for you......"
In the TV picture, a thin young female reporter wearing a mask and holding a microphone in her hand walked into the torrent of patients, and the little reporter in a white suit looked a little tragic. Regardless of whether this flu is so serious or not, it always takes enough courage to be in the midst of a flood of patients.
……
I gave up, hoping that such a talk show would give me some practical and reliable information, and it was ridiculous to think that in itself.
Fortunately, after the rebroadcast of "Civic Front", it was Xia Shiqi who broadcast the latest news about the emergency notice of the city hall in the studio, which was a live broadcast: "Because the spread of the unknown virus is beyond the control of the existing medical units, and some people with sudden lesions have brought serious threats to the lives of the residents of the city, the city hall announced that it will issue an emergency announcement this morning, calling on citizens to stay at home and not going out, and urging the relevant units to isolate the virus infected people, and at the same time raise the city's epidemic prevention alert level to red." However, by the time of the deadline for this report, a large number of citizens had already prepared to leave the city despite the advice. Experts believe that this will put tremendous pressure on preventing the spread of the virus and will have a great negative impact on the social order. The Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government, the Provincial Health Department and the Mayor's Office have just signed the latest document, calling on citizens to stay calm and not to flee blindly, so as not to bring unnecessary property damage and life danger to themselves and their families. I'm Xia Shiqi, and I'll keep you updated on the situation. ”
Apart from these two recurring news, there were no reports on the car TV about further developments. And the crowd outside shows that the situation is out of control. However, due to the repeated appeals of the city hall, it is believed that a considerable number of people will still stay at home and watch, and the computer-controlled subway will continue to operate as usual, and there will definitely be some people who will take a different attitude towards the situation.
My heart was in a panic, it seemed to be clear before my eyes, and I still found it hard to believe that it was all true.
Across from me sat a guy who looked like a college student, with a laptop on his lap, and looking at his dress, I thought it was a girl at first, but no matter how flat-chested a girl is, it's not completely absent, right? Then I found out about his Adam's apple, and I gave up talking to him.
Suddenly, the college student let out a scream, shouted "oh, mygod!", looked up, and took the initiative to turn the notebook around and show it to me. The college student's notebook is a video, to be precise, of him chatting with others. What appears in the video is a small space, like a storage room. Several figures appeared inside, and the figures were swaying, like drunk drunks, looking at their clothes, they were a few sick numbers. On another look, several patients were already pounced on a young man in a doctor's gown in the storage room and biting. The young man struggled desperately, screaming miserably, but he was soon brought down, and streams of blood poured out of his white coat.
The scene of the video is very bloody, but at this time my feeling is a little dull, I am not so much coaxing this college student, but coaxing myself and saying: "Very good, the acting is very realistic, it can catch up with the American version of "Resident Evil". That's your friend? ”
The college student turned pale and said, "You mean, he's deliberately teasing me?" But he said that there was a big incident in their hospital, and there were biting patients everywhere, and he was not in danger if he hid in the storage room. ”
I suddenly said loudly, ", do you think it's true?" "Resident Evil"? "I Am Legend"? The Walking Dead? World War Z? You've watched too many movies, you! ”
My voice was really loud, and it woke up the few sleepy passengers scattered in the carriage at once. They all looked at me with disgruntled and angry eyes. The man with glasses sitting next to me glanced at me fiercely, opened his mouth and was about to curse, but his eyes quickly turned to the laptop of the college student, pointed to the video and said: "It's not so exaggerated, the flesh on the face is completely gnawed off, so miserable, really fake?" ”
The young man in the video is no longer shouting, only his body is still twitching. The sick were lying on his stomach, tearing off pieces of flesh from his body and swallowing them into their stomachs. There was a dark red blood on the ground, and no matter how you looked at it, this scene didn't look like acting. The college student turned the notebook back, looked at it for a moment, and then screamed, and the notebook fell off his lap. Then he sat there and hid his face and wept.
I felt bored, the college student's whining cry made him feel irritable, and the man with glasses sitting next to him was listless, and the indifferent appearance even when I saw such a video made me irritable. I suddenly felt a strong urge to hit someone, and I even wanted to shoot them in the head with a gun and make their brains and blood all over the carriage...... I don't know why I've become so irritable, so murderous, and suddenly I think, I can't be infected with the virus, right? Otherwise, why do I want to kill people so much?
