Chapter Ninety-Eight: After the Winter
In the evening, the news of the successful treatment was reported to the Golden Autumn Garden. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Looking at the treatment cases one after another, Tang Ansong's hands trembled.
In the past few days, he has been under tremendous social pressure, and it took only six days for the epidemic to develop into a global outbreak from the discovery of the epidemic, but the number of patients infected by the virus in the world has exceeded 10 million, and the number of deaths has reached an astonishing 1.5 million!
The whole world shook, and it was as if humanity had suddenly degenerated from the master of the earth into a fragile "frightened bird", trembling in the face of the virus.
In this epidemic, there are many countries that have fallen into chaos because of the virus contracted by key government officials, and countries such as China, the United States, and Russia, which are known for their strong dominance, have gradually become weak in this fluctuation, and it is difficult to stand alone.
There are signs that the virus is so powerful that if we don't find a way to contain it sooner, the entire human population could be on the verge of extinction within two months.
If it really develops to that point, it will be a real catastrophe for all mankind! If it weren't for the fact that the U.S. government had already had evidence that the virus originated from a military laboratory, Tang Ansong would have almost thought that this was an alien genocidal offensive against Earth.
Now, a total of more than 100 serious patients in several designated medical institutions across the country have shown signs of improvement after treatment, which is an important signal, and Tang Ansong can also breathe a sigh of relief.
Without much hesitation, Tang Ansong immediately instructed the medical institutions to expand the scope of the pilot treatment, and of course, he was pleasantly surprised and realized that as a leader, it was not a blind decision to promote this kind of thing to the whole country. First, there are not many drugs available, and second, no one knows whether there will be potential side effects after drug treatment. rashly promoted it, it is inevitable that there will be some Meng Lang.
Chinese have always been cautious, and they will first find a region to experiment with everything they do, and only after forming experience will they spread out nationwide. This response to the epidemic is no exception, and only when the first batch of trial patients recover and are discharged from the hospital and it is determined that there are no side effects, will the drug be used for nationwide treatment as soon as possible.
Of course, while the scope of trials is expanding, the stocking of new drugs is urgent.
So the order from the Chinese government quickly reached the sales department of Stellar Life Medical Co., Ltd., and the staff in charge of drug sales were dumbfounded after receiving the order, because the Chinese government actually ordered 100 million copies of new drugs in one go, which is enough to treat 30 or 40 million patients on average, and the unit price is also very high, a drug is 500 yuan, which is higher than the official quotation of Stellar Medical 400 yuan.
The manager in charge of sales business can be described as sad and happy after receiving the news. And the sad thing is that Stellar Life Medical does not have such a large production capacity at all! At present, the newly installed and debugged production equipment has only 300,000 copies of medicine per day, and 100 million copies is enough to start the machine at full capacity for a year!
And he believes that this is just the beginning, and there will definitely be more orders in the future! Sure enough, orders from the United States, the European Union, Russia, South Asian countries, African countries, and even the WHO soon arrived at the sales department of Stellar Life Medical.
Among these orders, the United States and the European Union are the most financially rich, placing orders that are comparable to those of the Chinese government. Due to the severe cold in Russia, the flow of people in the winter is infrequent, which has reduced the speed of epidemic infection to a certain extent, but it also requires 50 million copies. In other countries, such as South Asia and Africa, the overall demand is not low.
In total, the number of orders from all over the world has reached 900 million!
Just like choking on eating too fast in the face of delicacies from the mountains and seas, too large an order will also produce pressure, if it is a general pharmaceutical company, such a rush order will definitely not be able to eat! What's terrible is that the orders are still placed by big countries and large organizations, and small companies can't afford to offend them!
However, the background of Stellar Life Medical is strong after all, and when Zhou Chen received the following request, he swallowed the order without thinking about it. The earth's stellar life medical capacity is insufficient, and the earth's station can make up for it!
Several large reaction tanks with a diameter of three hundred meters were quickly erected in the void, not to mention the order of 900 million copies, even if it was expanded several times, the earth station also had the confidence to make up for it.
However, although the lethal components of prions in bottle A are guaranteed, the complex components of various proteins in bottle B are a little difficult to handle. These are completely unnecessary, except for the isoenzyme of the PRP protein, the rest of the proteins are available on Earth.
So Zhou Chen discussed with the people of the Academy of Sciences and decided on the plan - the lethal ingredient of prions in bottle A and the PRP protein isoenzyme in bottle B will be produced by the station of the earth, and the rest of the protein components will be purchased by Stellar Life Medical on the earth, and then sold after proportioning.
After receiving the notice, governments of various countries immediately took up the responsibility of guaranteeing the delivery of various proteins from biological products companies in various countries to the production workshop of Stellar Life Medical in the form of strategic materials.
The spring of biological products companies in various countries has arrived, and it looks like it has been a little stained, and through the epidemic turmoil, many old companies with bumpy operations have been resurrected again.
With the operation of the machine, boxes of medicines came down from the production line of Stellar Life Medical, and the materials that were in such a tight supply at all times seemed to be more precious than gold, and they had just passed the internal quality control and were immediately pulled away by the commissioners of various countries guarding the gate of the factory before they entered the warehouse.
……
At the headquarters of Pfizer in Brooklyn, New York, a middle-aged man is frowning.
On a large screen not far from him, the current President of the United States, Stanley, is broadcasting live the national address.
“…… This is a rare disaster in human history, which has swept the world and caused deep trauma to countless countries and peoples! But we see the human spirit in the tenacious and tireless work of the rescuers, and we see the fluttering flags, the burning candles, and the people praying for their loved ones in English, Hebrew, or Arabic. ”
"Now that the epidemic is under control, it will not be long before we will return to the majesty and order of the past, and today let us re-energize ourselves and let the whole world see what America is today - it is still strong!"
Turning off the projection on the big screen, the middle-aged man stood up, glanced around, sighed and said: "It seems that the glory of this victory in the fight against the epidemic will belong to the company called 'Stellar Life Medical', this epidemic has provided a good stage for it, the whole world has accepted its benefits, witnessed its rise, and our powerful enemies of Pfizer have appeared!" ”
At the board meeting, the chairman of Pfizer, who was in high spirits in the past, said in a heavy tone at this time.
As the chairman of Pfizer, how did he not know that a formidable enemy of Pfizer had emerged.
……
……
The violent storm of the virus has passed, and the entire human society has begun to quietly lick its wounds like a defeated bear.
After the cold winter and spring has not arrived, although the tense atmosphere has shown signs of thawing, it is still cold, and the world has slowly controlled the epidemic in its own country after receiving the drugs sent by Stellar Life Medical, followed by overwhelming disinfection and busy resumption of production.
The situation in the United States, which has been hit hard, is certainly not optimistic, and the government agencies of more than a dozen states need to be reorganized, and among the original officials, hospitalizations, deaths, and some are facing accusations of malfeasance.
According to post-mortem statistics, the global epidemic has caused more than 17 million infections, more than 3 million deaths, and countless families in grief, including more than 6 million infections and 900,000 deaths in the United States, accounting for almost one-third of the world's infections and deaths. This has shaken the whole of American society, and the government has been very passive in dealing with this matter.
And because the United States is the source of the virus, the various accusations and truth-finding from the international community have also made the Stanley government both annoyed and tired to deal with.
Although the United States is still a powerful world ruler in his speech, it is an indisputable fact that the United States is declining in its influence and ability to govern the world.
As with most events, this pot had to be carried by someone, and so the vigorous autumn reckoning began.
Taking advantage of this incident, Stanley set up an incident investigation committee in Congress and carried out a purge of the military directly responsible.
As the saying goes, a thousand-mile embankment is destroyed in an anthill, flies never bite seamless eggs, and starting from a small hole is entirely possible to trigger a systemic collapse.
In this case, there will naturally be no less scandalous things with red and white, so as a result, Stanley has gained some control of military power and promoted many of his favorite military generals, and the impact of the epidemic does not seem to be all bad things for him.
The cold winter has passed, everything has recovered, and a month has passed since the global epidemic broke out.
After a month of appeasement, the pain in people's hearts finally subsided.
Except for sporadic incidents of the virus, the spread of the virus has basically been cut off.
According to the final statistics of the WHO, a total of 3.64 million infected people in the world have died in this epidemic, of which 900,000 are from the United States, 840,000 from China, the European Union, Russia and other regions, and a total of 1 million in South and Southeast Asia, of which India alone accounts for nearly 600,000, and the remaining 1 million or so are in Africa and South America. The African region is also one of the few areas where the PRP-C brain tissue virus is still active.
As a result of this campaign, 65 weak regimes collapsed, 34 countries fell into anarchy, and 16 countries fell into wars with the opposition.
The biggest beneficiary, Stellar Life Medical Co., Ltd., has become an internationally renowned pharmaceutical company and is widely sought after by the media.
