Edith Bouvier hurried down the street, an atmosphere of tension and anxiety permeating the crowd around him, with only eyes exposed, faces covered with large masks, and the sky was always overcast, and there was not a day when he could see the sun. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

A cold wind blew, making the pedestrians walk faster, and Edith quickly tightened his trench coat and walked briskly to the Montpellier Hospital. She made an appointment with an epidemiologist to learn about the recovery rate of influenza A in clinical treatment, the recovery cycle and other things, so as to enrich the content of her column on influenza A.

Fortunately, she wasn't late, and by the time Edith arrived at the hospital, Dr. Claude was already waiting for her in the office.

"Hello, Claude, you've been busy lately, haven't you?"

"yes, there are at least three or four times more patients now?"

"So much?" Edith was taken aback, "Now the first flu is so serious?" ”

"No, now everyone is frightened by influenza A, and they come to the hospital with a little fever or cough, and now our main work every day is to screen which of these patients is overly anxious, which one is really sick, and which one is really influenza A."

"How many influenza A patients are admitted to your hospital now?"

"Cumulatively, it adds up to almost 700 people."

"There are a lot of infections, so isn't it dangerous to have a flu this time?"

"It's not that influenza A is relatively contagious, but the mortality rate is not high."

"Do you have the latest data?"

"Yes, according to the data just released by the World Health Organization, the mortality rate of influenza A is about 2 per 10,000."

2 out of 10,000!

Hearing this number, Edith relaxed, after all, she came to the hospital for an interview, and went deep into the area of high influenza A, it was a lie to say that she was not nervous, and she was also afraid that she would be accidentally infected, but if the mortality rate was so low, it suddenly made people feel full of security.

"It's okay, it's okay, I thought it was another Spanish flu!"

"Hehe, now everyone generally feels very anxious and afraid of influenza A, and I think a large part of the reason is you."

"We?" Edith pointed to his nose in surprise.

"Yes, that's right, in fact, the mortality rate of influenza A is not even as high as the common cold, so there is no need to be so nervous, in fact, the fear of the people is caused by the continuous propaganda of your media."

"Don't blame us, didn't the WHO warn countries to prevent the spread of the epidemic?"

"These are all epidemiological means, one is to do this, the other is to do this, for influenza A, the threat level should not reach this level, and the corresponding prevention and control measures are a bit excessive."

"Maybe it's the memory of history, the Spanish flu and the Black Death left too much impression on Europe, so the public subconsciously has a sense of fear of these epidemics."

"Maybe, but soon there is no need to worry about this, the vaccine is said to have been developed and is in production, and the epidemic of influenza A is called traffic control and the effect of the vaccine, the transmission route should be blocked soon."

"Well, I know, when I interviewed a parliamentarian the other day, he said that the Ministry of Health is discussing a national procurement, intending to purchase vaccines and masks for free distribution to organize the further spread of influenza A......"

The interview went well, and Claude's words reassured Edit. After all, her main task recently is to follow up on the development of influenza A, and she has to deal with all kinds of people related to influenza A every day, and the risk of being infected is very great, and she is somewhat scared.

Under the great attention of the World Health Organization, the rendering of major media, and the quarantine and prevention measures organized by the government, the French have canceled all the collective activities that can be canceled, and many people simply go on vacation, hiding at home and staying at home, preparing to spend more than two months of vacation to spend this influenza A epidemic.

In this panicked atmosphere, the popular science column of Influenza A has become the most popular program, and medical experts have stood in front of the camera to popularize various knowledge of Influenza A to the public, as well as various simple preventive measures.

The vaccine was developed, and soon some experts talked about the latest vaccine, saying that in order to ensure adequate prevention effect, each person needs to take two shots of the vaccine to have an effect. Soon this view was affirmed by other experts, from different organizations, experts from different fields have agreed with this view, saying that in order to prevent influenza A, it is better for every French person to get two shots.

Under the education of experts, a walk took place in Paris, and the walkers petitioned the government to ask the government to allocate funds to purchase vaccines as soon as possible, so that every French person can be free from the threat of disease, because it is the responsibility of the government # government.

It was in this context that the Minister of Health, Rochelyn Basello, herself a doctor of medicine, decided to start discussing the issue in earnest.

However, even if she is a doctor of medicine, she is unlikely to be familiar with all areas of medicine, and epidemics, influenza A, and vaccines happen to be areas that she does not understand.

So Luo Shilin appointed 17 expert consultants to provide her with various professional technical advice during her period in order to make relevant decisions.

After some discussion, Roshlyn finally decided to request a special grant from the president specifically for the purchase of vaccines against influenza A and related medical supplies.

At the height of the pandemic, Rochelling ordered 94 million vaccines from three pharmaceutical companies, as well as a large number of Tamiflu, a drug used to treat influenza A, and 1 billion masks.

In order to control the spread of the epidemic in a timely manner, the Ministry of Health has spent a lot of money on advertising to promote the vaccine, encouraging the French to get out of their homes as soon as possible and go to the nearest hospital or vaccination site to get vaccinated.

Everything seems to be on the right path, influenza A is gradually being controlled, the number of infected people is gradually decreasing, and it seems that the French government has finally overcome the disease through unremitting efforts.

But Edith didn't see it that way, and her instincts told her that in the course of this fight against the Alpha Flu, the whole of France always gave people a strange feeling, and always felt that something was incongruous.

As a veteran reporter of Le Figaro, she has been reporting on the first stream for so long that she can easily reach people at all levels and get some data that is not known to outsiders.

Edith, for example, found that the Ministry of Health had procured a total of 94 million vaccines, but only 5.74 million French people had actually been vaccinated...... (To be continued.) )
