Chapter 498: Disaster
? Lindsay sat on the hospital bed, glanced out the window, and put away the newspaper in her hand.
He took medicine to restore his mind, and one hand was fixed on the bed. To prevent him from getting sick, the hospital did not let them free at all.
The hospital bed not far from him is the patient who was sent in shortly after he was sent to this isolation room. Also infected with Reedman virus, he was restored with a modified HX3 agent.
This is the hardest-hit area in Belgium. There are two patients in one isolation room. Because there are too many patients, the isolation area here is overcrowded. Before there is no special medicine to treat, I am afraid that this situation will continue for an unknown time.
"When do you say the special medicine will come out?" Lindsay said, her voice a little not tired, but also a little uneasy. This kind of waiting to die, no one feels bad.
"I don't know." The patient opposite Lindsay shook his head, and it was not very good to be in a mental state. His name is Maud, and he once introduced himself to Lindsay. The two are also friends in need. In this closed isolation room, chatting when they are bored, they have long been familiar with each other.
"I don't know how long this medicine will last," Lindsay said.
"Haha, I guess it's almost time, I feel a little wrong now." Maud smiled bitterly and didn't speak.
Lindsay came back to his senses, his pupils shrank, and when he looked at Maud again, the other party was shaking his head constantly, as if he wanted to get rid of the things in his head.
"Go away, go away!!"
"Ghost, ghost, don't come here."
"Go to hell."
Suddenly, when Maud saw Lindsay, his face was already panicked. He kept pulling the hand tied to the hospital bed, and retracted his body into the corner of the hospital bed. its scary stuff.
Seeing this scene, Lindsay's pupils shrank, and fear floated in her heart.
This is the state after the onset, completely without self-awareness, like a lunatic with a mental illness. I am afraid that when I am sick, it will not be much better than this.
A sense of despair flooded his heart, making him completely panic.
...
"The injection was successful, let him go."
Los Angeles Quarantine,
Steven pulled out the syringe in the patient's body and quickly retreated to a meter away from the bed, watching the patient who was struggling frantically on the bed.
Five minutes later, the patient on the hospital bed did not intend to stop, and still looked at him with crazy eyes, as if seeing an enemy.
This scene raised the hearts of the medical staff next to him.
"Dr. Teven, why is the patient still not well?"
"The HX3 potion has failed." Steven's voice was extremely heavy, and the haze in his heart was even thicker.
"Then what should we do?" The voice of the medical staff was a little flustered.
"Fix him like this, don't let him go." Tiven said, "Please pay attention to other isolation rooms. If the medicine is invalid, notify me immediately."
"Okay." The medical staff hurriedly agreed.
Leaving the isolation room, Steven felt a heavy heart, and he was a little flustered, but he had to force himself to calm down.
The HX3 potion has failed.
The worst happens.
Once the medicine fails on the patient, it means that the first batch of users will become delirious again, and it will be a disaster for the whole world at that time.
And this disaster has come.
...
Tokai, Tokyo, New York, Ottawa, Paris, London, Berlin, Amsterdam…
Similar things are happening all over the world.
The improved HX3 agent failed for the first batch of patients, and more and more patients, the virus in the body woke up, and the disease relapsed. In just one day, 227 people worldwide died due to relapse of the disease.
The news sent the world into unprecedented panic.
When many infected people saw the patients who had relapsed, their mentality had collapsed and they were desperate.
Death, despair, fear, this is the theme of the quarantine zone, all kinds of negative emotions, as if the hand of death is in their hearts, ready to take their lives at any time.
The first batch of medicines failed, and the delay of one month has passed. However, there is still no good news of drug breakthroughs in various medical groups around the world, which has caused many front-line medical personnel to collapse.
...
"Director, there are more and more patients out of control, there are not enough isolation rooms and beds, and there are not enough medical personnel. Masks, protective clothing, gloves, syringes, sedatives, ambulances, etc. are not enough. Urgently needed medical equipment is already in short supply. , we need a lot of medical supplies to support, is there any new news on it now?"
Roger looked at the middle-aged and elderly person wearing glasses in front of him. He was Matt, the director of Victoria Hospital. Seeing that Matt didn't speak, Roche became anxious and continued to ask.
"The HX3 medicine can only last for one month. Are there any new medicines at the institute?"
"No." Matt shook his head with a sullen face: "There is none in the world. According to the WHO, research teams around the world have tried more than 4,290 drugs, all of which are ineffective against the virus. This virus is terribly overbearing."
"Then what to do now? The hospital can no longer accommodate so many patients. There is still a steady stream of diagnoses. If this continues, once the critical point is exceeded, it will be completely over. The medical staff in the entire hospital will be under the virus environment, and the probability of infection will be high. Rising. And if medical staff get infected, this vicious cycle opens and the entire hospital becomes a dead building.”
Roger's voice was anxious.
Since the outbreak of the virus, many medical staff have died of the disease, which has put a lot of psychological pressure on front-line medical staff. If there are other problems, I am afraid that this virus will really get out of control.
The air was dead silent, except for Roche and Matt, everyone else was in a heavy heart.
After a long time, Matt spoke slowly.
"Jointly ask the CDC to establish a centralized isolation area, which is convenient for management, and the manpower does not need to be too scattered. Before there is no specific medicine, single isolation of patients will not have any effect, it will only increase the manpower and workload."
The other doctors nodded in agreement.
As one of the hardest hit areas in the UK, the number of sick people in the whole country has exceeded 5,000. This does not include the number of people who have died and the number of patients who have died violently. The number of people quarantined exceeds 150,000. This is only the number in the UK. Other hard-hit areas, Some are even scarier.
The number of confirmed cases and deaths is reaching new highs every day, which is already a dangerous number.
If the isolation points get out of control, it's really a catastrophe. It is more convenient to manage all patients centrally. There is currently no effective medicine for treatment, and even if it is isolated alone, it will not be of much use. Under special circumstances, there are no other issues to be taken care of, otherwise the epidemic will get out of control and it will be even more terrifying.
The British Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced the establishment of three centralized isolation areas to centrally isolate and manage all confirmed patients.
The news shook the medical community.
The epidemic has reached the point where it is about to get out of control. If this continues, no one can guarantee what terrifying ending this disaster will bring.
Not long after the United Kingdom established a centralized isolation area, other hard-hit areas in Europe and the United States have also announced the establishment of centralized isolation points in the hard-hit areas, and all confirmed patients will be sent to the isolation area, which will be centrally isolated and managed by the military chemical defense forces.
At this time, the number of confirmed cases in the world has reached 70,000, the number of deaths is refreshing every day, and there are as many as 2 million people in quarantine around the world. Every time a patient is found, everyone who comes in contact with him will be quarantined.
Under various strict restrictive measures, the momentum of the crazy spread of the Reedman virus has begun to ease, but the number of deaths has also increased. In the centralized quarantine area, people die, despair, collapse every day. Some still awake patients choose to commit suicide and die with dignity.
The news one after another has made everyone's heart heavy. If there is no special medicine, it means that all infected people will die, which will be a catastrophic number.
