Chapter 309: Hope (I)

Sending the shadow away, Chen Yang had another idea.

"Screwman, if you replace humans with animals...... Yes, what would you like if a wide variety of other organisms were used as hosts for aphids? ”

Chen Yang touched his chin and pondered.

"The rest of the creatures?"

The right hand was also a little interested in this idea: "You are right, we should find more other creatures to realize...... It's just that if a creature with lower human intelligence is used as a host, even if the parasitism is successful, the intelligence is definitely not as good as that of successful humans, and the actual effect is still much less. ”

"Well, that's a problem too."

Indeed, there may be a body element among animals that far surpasses that of humans, but the intelligence of animals cannot be compared with that of humans at all, so even if a large number of successful materials are produced, the effect on the truly diverse combat needs of the future is definitely not strong.

But it's not bad to give it a try.

In the next few days, Chen Yang asked people to collect the animals one by one according to the list, and on the other hand, he also paid attention to the situation outside.

Although the severity of this epidemic is not as severe as the influenza pandemic of 1918 in the 20th century, with the progress of science and technology and the development of society, people's tolerance for diseases is gradually declining.

If you say that a few decades ago, a disease that killed dozens or hundreds of people was nothing at all. Even after the First World War, when the Spanish flu killed tens of millions of people, the panic of the people around the world was far less than the panic caused by the disease that killed hundreds of thousands of people today.

This is the development of science and technology, which has made the world more connected, and the herd effect is more likely to occur.

When people are in a desperate situation, they can basically do anything, and they can imagine it with their toes. At a time when governments around the world have been slow to address the pandemic, the anxiety of people around the world has reached a certain point.

European countries are fine. The advanced medical system and quarantine measures have allowed the government to control the large-scale spread of the epidemic in a short period of time, even if there is chaos in a few places, it has not affected the whole of Europe.

The rest of the world, however, is less optimistic.

The demonstrations that broke out many times in the United States quickly dispersed to various local state capitals, and countless people rioted and took advantage of the opportunity to riot. In particular, there are so many people with guns in the country that a single misfire incident may detonate into a gun battle.

As of Jan. 20, New York State statistics alone reported that in less than a week, more than 55 police officers had been killed in the line of duty, 11 National Guard soldiers had been killed, and hundreds more had been seriously wounded by gunshot wounds.

These dangerous situations have made the financial tycoons and century-old chaebols in the United States feel uneasy, and they quickly passed a temporary bill. A national state of emergency was imposed, and comprehensive repression measures were taken against rebels in various localities.

As for Africa, South America, Southeast Asia, South Asia, the Middle East and other places, if there are more people who die, then they are not people...... Many local governments have been hit hard and have had to use the military to enforce order.

And the use of the military is sometimes not a good means, because the army is also made up of human beings, and it can also be infected with diseases, Thailand and Vietnam. In addition, the Philippines and Indonesia have successively seen the spread of large-scale infections in the military, which directly leads to the collapse of the army's formation from time to time.

The death toll continues to climb. Countries have also cooperated in the development of symptomatic drugs, and at this critical time period, Feng Li and a group of people found local officials.

Los Angeles Mayor Jahiti, who has been busy lately, did not plan to meet with strangers, but a call from strangers made Jahiti change his attitude.

"What do you say? Do you have medications to treat NDM-EH? ”

With a suspicious gaze, Jahiti gave the visitor a few more looks.

This yellow man. Maybe it's still Chinese...... Of course, it doesn't matter what the race is, the important thing is that even those world-class enterprises and government organizations have not come up with exact and feasible drugs at present, and this little-known company. How can we get drugs for the treatment of NDM-EH?

Although he didn't believe the other party's words, Jahiti, who did not give up any possibility, still invited the other party into the conference room and sat down.

"Mr. Mayor, this is our company's clinical trial report on our product, you can take a look at ......"

took out a text with a thickness of dozens of pages, Feng Li asked the assistant next to him to take it and handed it to Jia Xiti.

The text is concise and clear, and even though Jia Xiti does not know much about medicine, he can still see the conclusions of clinical trials clearly.

"I'm sorry, I can't tell if this report of yours is true or not...... But if it's true, I thank you for your help for the citizens. ”

Putting down the text, Jahiti instructed his subordinates a few times to find an expert to come over.

"Mr. Mayor's concerns are right."

Feng Li smiled: "But please don't worry...... Because this report has been submitted to the FDA and the CDC at the same time, I believe that the above conclusions will be concluded soon. ”

He was right, he and Fang Yebing split into two ways, one to convince the mayor of Los Angeles, and the other to hand in clinical data, hoping to promote the new antibiotic ANDEXA in a short time.

"Oh, that's really good."

After getting Feng Li's news, Jia Xiti became enthusiastic, not only was he a lot more polite in his attitude, but he also had a very obvious change in his actions.

In fact, if this antibiotic does have a therapeutic effect, it will be quite effective in saving the current crisis, even if it cannot be completely cured.

Don't look at the fact that Jahiti can still remain relatively calm now, you must know that the scene that happened yesterday scared him into a cold sweat.

A large group of ...... The procession, which may have exceeded 2,000 people, actually stormed the city hall building, and the riot police who had been mobilized to erect riot shields were almost crushed by the crowd.

If Jahiti hadn't immediately informed the National Guard and drove tanks to expel the rioters, the situation would have been really dangerous.

Feng Li discussed and talked with Jia Xiti here, and Fang Ye's affairs on the other side were even smoother than those on this side.

After the staff of the CDC reported the matter, a large number of professors, biopharmologists, state officials, federal government officials, and people from certain pharmaceutical companies came directly to a multi-purpose conference room for a special meeting without invitation.

Fang Ye didn't need to appear, let the professionals below stand on the podium, control the projector to explain ANDEXA to hundreds of people, explain the development and operation process of ANDEXA in detail, and give detailed clinical trial reports.

These clinical trials can prove their authenticity as long as they are verified, and it is basically impossible for anyone to dare to fake them in front of so many people.

Surprises and cheers came from the crowd below, and many people even cried with joy, and gathered around to find Fang Ye to ask for ANDEXA.

These anxious people, obviously someone in the family was infected with the superbug NDM-EH, and their lives were in danger, and they didn't bless much hope, but they didn't expect joy to fall from the sky, and there were actually feasible treatment drugs so soon, how could they not be happy.

Some people are happy and some people are worried, people from Pfizer and other large companies walked out of the conference room without saying a word with a gloomy face, and took out their mobile phones to notify the senior management above, what actions are unknown, but they will definitely not be happy to see therapeutic drugs appear in the hands of a small company.

Takeovers, threats, and boycotts are the consistent methods of these large companies, and often the smaller companies behind them have no choice but to give in due to the need for profit and strong forces.

Originally, Chen Yang was reluctant to go against these large companies, and even planned to share the production authority to authorize ANDEXA, but this sudden global epidemic made him change his mind.

In this special situation, the previous plan of helpless cooperation can try to change, and the chaotic situation in the United States makes it possible to worry about the full support of the White House as long as there are reliable drugs, and there is no need to worry too much about pressure from large enterprises.

In particular, Chen Yang has placed his headquarters in Australia, so he doesn't have to worry too much about the pressure in this regard, and now that countries around the world are in dire straits, there is no worry that ANDEXA will not be sold, and the boycott of Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson will undoubtedly have no effect...... Maybe even they have to buy it privately, after all, the top management is also human, who can guarantee that they will not be infected with NDM-EH?

Once you are infected and there is no medication, you really have to wait for death.

After this meeting, as many as a dozen boxes of ANDEXA's reserves mobilized by Fang Ye were snatched up, and there was not even a single antibiotic left.

In less than a day, after quickly verifying the healing effect of ANDEXA with the highest efficiency, the White House received the news and immediately arranged for the commissioner to fly to Los Angeles and arrange for Fang Ye to meet with the president in Washington.

On January 22, a press conference in Washington attracted the attention of the world.

Just yesterday on the 21st, news from Los Angeles suddenly spread to all parts of the world...... It is said that a local pharmaceutical company in the United States (misunderstood, Andres is actually an overseas offshore company, not part of the United States) has a newly developed antibiotic that can effectively cure infections caused by superbugs.

The news was not officially confirmed, but it spread all over the Internet almost instantly.

As long as people hiding at home turn on their computers and surf the Internet, all the major portals will give a big text with the title of the day - hope? Or is it a rumor?

And just when people were speculating and expecting, a press conference was held live in Washington the next day, giving a definite answer, this news is not a rumor, but true! (To be continued......)
