Chapter 1194: The whole world catches a cold

The next day,

When Jiang Hao went to Annie Manor to teach, he found that there were a lot more people serving him. There were two men in black staring at Jiang Hao from a distance, as if he was afraid that he would do something indecent to the princess.

Jiang Hao knew that this was from the royal cell and a warning.

"Annie, let's start today's training." Jiang Hao didn't care about this and said to Annie with a smile.

"Okay." Annie's stupid Bai Tian couldn't feel anything at all.

In fact, this is good, she is responsible for happiness, and there is no need to pollute her in some messy things.

After the training, Anne took the towel handed over by the servant, wiped the sweat from her sideburns, and asked with a smile: "Jon, where are we going to play today?"

Jiang Hao glanced at the butler staring at him and gave Annie a smile, "I'm a little busy these days, I'm afraid I can't take you out for fun."

Anne was a little disappointed, "Okay, you'll do your own business first, and we'll go out if we have time."

......

London town,

A young man walked into the hospital with a cough, his face looking very bad. The clinic doctor handed him a thermometer and then asked, "Where are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"Doctor, since last night, I have had a fever, cough, sneeze, and a sore throat." The young man said.

The doctor used a small flashlight to illuminate his throat, picked up the stethoscope and listened to the lung sound, "I'm having a cold, it's nothing serious. I'll prescribe a few pills for you. You go back and take it and have a sleep. It's probably about the end tomorrow."

The young man took the medicine and left, went to the vegetable market, shopping mall and other places, bought some things he needed before returning home. He did not realize that he had gone around in a crowded place, and after a few sneezes, the virus spread to hundreds of people.

the next day.

The young man woke up and found that his cold symptoms had not improved, but felt even more uncomfortable. He had to come to the clinic again, "Doctor, I didn't get better after taking your medicine, but my condition worsened. Now I have chills all over, headaches, joint pain all over my body, and some diarrhea."

The doctor examined the patient again and found that the guy's condition had indeed worsened, and there was even a sound in his lungs. This was the rhythm of turning into pneumonia. "It doesn't matter, it's not a big problem. I'll prescribe some anti-inflammatory drugs for you. The flu is periodic. If you take the medicine and go back to sleep, you will probably get much better tomorrow."

The same thing again.

But the young man came again on the third day, this time his face was worse, and he was trembling when walking, "Doctor, I feel so uncomfortable, I feel like I'm not breathing."

The doctor was also shocked and took out the stethoscope to listen. He found that the guy had a very serious pneumonia. He immediately asked the patient to be hospitalized for treatment, started giving him an infusion, and used penicillin.

Penicillin can now be said to be a magical medicine. Since it was developed, it has saved countless lives and is a powerful tool for humans to resist inflammation. Many people even believe that as long as it is an inflammatory disease, penicillin will definitely be cured.

But this time, the young people's fever never subsided. Although the pneumonia did not continue to worsen, there was no sign of improvement. As long as the infusion was stopped, the fever would be repeated again the next day, and it was just a stalemate there.

This youth's disease is not an isolated case.

These days, many patients have come to major hospitals and clinics in the UK, almost all of which are a symptom, including fever, cough, fatigue, loss of appetite, sore throat, body pain, headache, chills, and subsequent diarrhea and vomiting. In severe cases, pneumonia and respiratory failure will occur.

When the number of people increased, the hospital reported the situation to the British Ministry of Public Health and began to pay attention. Statistics found that the situation in the whole of the UK was already very serious. London had more than 100,000 people infected, and the hospitals were overcrowded.

Not only London, but also in other counties, there are also a large number of patients with similar influenza, and it is obvious that the virus is spreading rapidly.

After studying the patient's condition, a senior British medical expert said worriedly: "It is obvious that this flu is different from the past. It is not a seasonal cold, but a viral flu. It spreads very quickly. This virus can be transmitted through almost various channels, such as objects, food, droplets and even air. This makes it difficult to prevent it. What's more terrible is that the most effective drug, penicillin, cannot deal with this virus. I even doubt whether this flu will be a virus similar to the Spanish flu, which makes me worried."

The expert's words were seen in the newspapers by reporters, which immediately caused panic among the public. You should know that the Spanish flu was a devilish term in Europe. The terrifying flu outbreak that year infected the whole world. According to incomplete statistics, about 20 million people died in that flu that lasted more than a year, far exceeding the number of deaths in World War I.

The Spanish flu has only been more than twenty years old, and many people who survived that year are still alive. The horrific scenes at that time are still in people's hearts. There are dead people everywhere. Every day, special coroners go to every household to collect corpses, and then they are pulled to the incinerator to burn them. Many people have not had funerals because there are too many people who died. During that flu, countless relatives of people died, and many people have not yet walked out of the shadow of that time.

Now some experts say that the Spanish flu is coming again, and the best drug, penicillin, cannot be treated. How can this prevent people from panic?

The British Ministry of Public Health issued an alarm to the public, requiring people to stay away from infected people and avoid contact with people with flu-like symptoms. If you find that your family and friends have symptoms such as fever, cough, runny nose, etc., please send them to the hospital in time.

Pay attention to personal hygiene, exercise frequently, wash hands frequently, keep ventilation indoors, avoid crowds, avoid crowded places, try to wear masks and gloves when going out, and take some drugs that can improve your immunity.

As soon as this announcement was released, it further confirmed the horror of the flu this time. The British people became extremely nervous and everyone was in danger. Many schools even chose to temporarily suspend classes to avoid cross-infection caused by students gathering.

In major markets in the UK, the passenger flow in shopping malls has suddenly decreased by 80%. People don’t go out if they can go out, and they all stay at home and don’t go out. The streets of London, which are usually lively, are now deserted.

The most lively place now is the hospitals in the UK.

At the same time, the British royal family also announced that all royal activities would be suspended, and the several planned public activities were directly cancelled.

But even so, it still did not stop the flu from raging. The number of infected people in the UK is still experiencing explosive growth. The number of daily reports is increasing, from the original ones of more than 100,000 to a million people in a week.

Now the entire UK has only a population of 50 million, and the million infected people are already an extremely terrifying number.

British medical experts are working hard to study this new virus and trying to find a treatment method. Experts found that this influenza virus is indeed very similar to the pathogens of the Spanish flu, and belongs to a new variant of the Spanish flu, and was finally named the H2N2 influenza virus.

However, it is easy to discover viruses, but defense and treatment are extremely difficult. In the past, it was normal to study a new drug at a short time, from a few months to a long time. This new virus suddenly broke out, and experts could not come up with a good treatment plan for a while.

Even in the 21st century with more advanced technology, several large-scale influenza virus outbreaks have occurred, swine flu and avian influenza have made the whole world tremble. Under such developed medical conditions, it will take several months to develop a new drug, not to mention that it is now 1955, and modern medicine has not yet been truly perfected.

Seeing this situation, other countries have issued emergency notices one after another to minimize personnel exchanges in the UK. All personnel exchanges must be strictly investigated. Any fever or cough symptoms are prohibited from entering the country. But even so, a week after the outbreak of the influenza virus in the UK, other countries have also experienced the disease one after another.

The United States was the first to be hit. New York was the first case. Just after one case appeared, it seemed like the fuse was ignited. The flu virus exploded. Influenza patients appeared in more than a dozen cities, including New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, Detroit, etc., and the number increased at an explosive rate. In just one week, the flu population in the United States exceeded two million.

Because the outbreak of the influenza virus has seriously affected the normal economy and life of the United States and caused great losses.

Not only the United States, many European countries also won the bids, including France, the Netherlands, Hungary, Spain, etc., and then it spread to Australia. Some Asian countries were not spared, and influenza in India, Indonesia and Japan also broke out.

Countries are in panic and have launched epidemic prevention mechanisms one after another.

This autumn, the whole world caught a cold.
