American drama life begins with Dr. House
102 Ebola, the king of viruses, lock down the city if you want to survive! (5000 words~)
After expressing her conclusion, Nancy paused and continued:
"The method I use is fluorescence immunoassay.
After dropping Ebola virus into the culture medium, a green light appeared on the culture medium."
Everyone present is the elite of the institute, including Rhodes, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. They all understand what the green light means.
That means a perfect match.
There is no doubt that the virus brought by the monkey corpse is the Ebola virus, which is known as the king of viruses!
The faces of everyone who realized this immediately turned ugly.
If it is true as Du Wei said, then the Ebola virus has most likely begun to spread in the city.
This fatality rate of up to 90% will mean that there will soon be dead people in the city!
The most correct thing to do now is to ask the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to issue the highest level disaster response alert and isolate all people who may have been exposed to the sick monkeys for observation.
Then those close contacts and sub-close contacts are also isolated.
Such an approach will undoubtedly cause panic among the people, causing them to rush out of the city.
This means that in order to completely eliminate the Ebola virus in the city, they need to lock down the city.
All movement of people and goods is prohibited.
Only this kind of Iron Curtain-like operation can completely isolate the Ebola virus in Princeton!
But what this decision means is panic and the cost of hundreds of millions of dollars!
No one can make this decision easily.
The same goes for Rhodes, who is the head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention!
So after gritting his teeth, he retorted:
"Wait! This may not be the monkey in the city!
This is also very likely to be the dead monkey that this unknown person smuggled from nowhere!
At least we haven't heard of any cases of human infection.
If you blindly turn on the disaster response alarm, you will most likely fall into their trap!
I recommend waiting until there are confirmed human cases before turning on disaster response alerts!"
After hearing what Rhodes said, General Marshall, the top leader in the Army Institute of Virology, also looked at Duwei.
What Ross said makes sense.
The origin of Du Wei's identity is indeed mysterious, and the reason he was able to get in here was all because of the guarantee of Eddie, who was about to become the mayor.
But a major event like the Ebola virus cannot be ignored by them.
If it is later found out that it was just a false alarm, then all the relevant personnel will be beaten to the end!
For the sake of official status, they would rather take action after the incident becomes serious than issue early warning.
After all, the Ebola virus has never appeared in this beautiful country!
This time is very likely to be an own incident or, as Rhodes said, the future mayor and this young man named Duwei have ulterior motives.
No matter what, it's impossible to get them to activate a disaster response alert just because of a dead monkey carrying the Ebola virus.
"I agree with Rhodes. At present, there is no indication that the dead monkey carrying the Ebola virus came from the city.
At the same time, I also believe that the customs and border security personnel of the beautiful country will not let virus-carrying monkeys into the country.”….
Hearing General Marshall's words, Du Wei chuckled.
Do you really think of yourself as a big country with no access to it?
If the border defense of the beautiful country is really as good as General Marshall boasts, those mental poisons from Colombia will not be so easy to enter the beautiful country. (Drug lord)
Compared with those things, is it difficult for the 'Ndrangheta to bring a few sick monkeys into a beautiful country?
General Marshall's eyes quickly followed Du Wei's laughter, and he said sternly:
"Why are you laughing? Do you know what kind of trouble your behavior will bring you?
Soldier!
Detain Eddie, Dewey and this reporter from the Daily Princetonian!
I seriously suspect they are involved in animal smuggling!"
Eddie glanced at Duwei and saw that he had no intention of resisting and immediately understood what Duwei was thinking.
He also walked into the temporary detention room obediently surrounded by soldiers.
Only the Princeton reporter who wanted to report big news was shouting wildly:
"General Marshall, General Marshall! You are mistaken! They and I are not in the same group at all!
I was just invited to report the news! I really have nothing to do with the animal smuggling crime!
General Marshall? General Marshall...wuwuwu."
The reporter's mouth was quickly gagged by a soldier with a piece of cloth.
He who resisted desperately did not receive the same treatment as Eddie and Duwei. He was directly hit on the back of the head with the butt of a rifle and fainted.
General Marshall looked at the reporter who was dragged on the ground with a gloomy expression.
He really made up a reason just to keep these people here.
Because the Ebola virus is of great concern, no matter whether it is true or false, he cannot let these people go out and spread rumors!
Then the only way is to find an excuse to keep it under guard.
After the matter is settled, a few people will be properly dealt with.
Then General Marshall looked around, looked at these 'own people', and said:
"Today's matter is confidential. If someone leaks it, you will be on the defendant's seat in the military court. Do you understand?"
"clear!"
"clear!"
…
"I do not understand!"
Amid a series of clear sounds, an inappropriate voice suddenly sounded.
That was Researcher Nancy who had taken off her level four biochemical protective suit.
As a researcher who personally compared viruses, she was actually quite dissatisfied with General Marshall's approach.
She has a deeper understanding of the Ebola virus than anyone present.
Because her mentor Carter had faced the Ebola virus outbreak in Africa and witnessed the scene that was like hell on earth.
So no amount of caution is too much when it comes to Ebola!
Therefore, after she confirmed that the Ebola virus really existed in monkeys, she heartily agreed with Du Wei's proposal to activate the disaster response alarm.
It was only because of General Marshall's authority that she did not stop General Marshall's decision to imprison the three men.
At the moment, General Marshall has decided to block all information, which makes Nancy a little unable to sit still.
General Marshall's commanding gaze, developed from his long tenure in power, immediately turned to Nancy, who dared to express her different opinions...
"What, you have an opinion?"
Nancy took a deep breath and said:
"Whether what Du Wei just said is true or false, we should investigate this incident instead of dealing with it passively and passively waiting for things to happen.
If it is true as he said, it is very likely that humans are now infected with the Ebola virus.
And we still don’t know what variant of the Ebola virus is circulating.
Experiments have shown that a certain variant of the Ebola virus can spread through the air, which means that if a human is infected with the Ebola virus.
He can spread millions of germs with just one sneeze!
If this happened in a public place, the consequences would be disastrous!"
General Marshall frowned, obviously not believing it.
He had never heard of Ebola virus spreading through the air. His first reaction was that Nancy was lying to him to explain the seriousness of the matter!
But soon a somewhat old voice sounded behind him:
"What Nancy said is true. Ebola has indeed spread through the air.
only
Because it was too shocking, the original experimental results were only spread within a small area.
It just so happens that I am one of the insiders.”
General Marshall looked over after hearing this and saw a guy with white temples and a woolen sweater walking in. His face was full of solemnity.
This person is Nancy’s mentor, Dr. Carter, an expert on the Ebola virus!
On the Ebola virus, Dr. Carter is a well-deserved industry authority.
His words carry a lot of weight in related fields.
If it weren't for some things that happened, he would be the current director of the Institute of Virology.
So after hearing Dr. Carter confirm that what Nancy said was true, even General Marshall did not dare to refute it.
"This is just an unexpected incident. How come you are so alarmed?"
Carter shook his head and did not want to talk to General Marshall any more.
"Whether it's an error or not, I agree with Nancy that we must not respond passively to the Ebola virus.
I need you to arrange for manpower to work with me to investigate from the monkey's route into the city.
If an injured human is found, I need the CDC in Lodz to be prepared for isolation."
General Marshall hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and agreed to the plan.
However, Rhodes, who had a history with Carter, did not agree with this.
Being affiliated with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, he can be said to be at the same level as General Marshall.
When it comes to his own problems, he will not give face to anyone here.
I saw him slam the table, stand up and say:
"What you are doing will only amplify the panic!
Do you know what civilians will think when they see you wearing level 4 biochemical suits?
They will definitely think that something big happened and the authorities are hiding everything!
There will definitely be a lot of conspiracy theories on social media by then!
If there is a panic attack, who will be responsible? Carter? Or General Marshall?"
General Marshall remained silent and did not answer.
It was precisely because of this consideration that he decided to hide all information at the earliest and waited for the number one patient to appear...
But obviously Carter is not a guy like General Marshall who cares about his reputation. Carter's eyes widened and he stared straight at his former colleague Rhodes and said:
"I would like to..."
Before Dr. Carter finished speaking, a soldier suddenly rushed in and attracted everyone's attention.
The soldier glanced at General Marshall and then at the people next to him, somewhat hesitant to speak.
General Marshall secretly thought something was wrong and frowned slightly and said:
"If you have anything to say, please tell me immediately. Don't be jabbering. We are all our own people here, but it doesn't matter!"
With General Marshall's permission, the soldier quickly said:
"Citizens discovered the corpses of several monkeys in the suburbs.
Because the monkey died in a miserable condition, covered in pustules, and vomited blood all over the floor, they did not dare to move, so they reported it to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was unable to confirm what caused this, so they sent people to freeze the dead monkey and transport it to us.
They want us to be able to determine the cause."
After listening to what the soldier said, everyone's expressions suddenly changed again.
They instantly realized a terrible fact. The monkey Du Wei had brought was not an exception!
It may have spread throughout the city!
General Marshall tried his best to stabilize his emotions and asked seemingly calmly:
"When will the samples be delivered?"
The soldier raised his wrist and looked at his watch:
"It will be delivered in about five minutes."
After General Marshall slowly exhaled a breath, he finally made his decision.
"Nancy, you are on standby at the research institute and will wait for the samples as soon as they arrive.
Make a match with Ebola virus.
Dr. Carter, you can choose a team of people to go with you to quarantine those who have been in contact with the dead monkeys.
Everyone else is on standby, level one alert!"
Upon seeing General Marshall's order, Rhodes immediately shouted:
"No! If you do this, it will cause everyone to panic! Listen to me..."
Before Rhodes finished speaking, General Marshall shouted loudly:
"That's better than the city falling! Soldier, take me to the room where Eddie and Duwei were detained just now!"
Looking at the back of General Marshall hurried away, Rhodes snorted angrily and quickly followed.
He needs to confirm whether the situation is really out of control and whether to... activate the disaster response alarm.
Soon, everyone arrived at the room where the two people were temporarily detained.
This place was originally an officer's office, but now it was urgently requisitioned as a prison cell.
But the environment inside is still quite good.
So when General Marshall opened the door, he saw Duwei sitting on the sofa very comfortably and watching Eddie making tea for him to drink using the Eastern etiquette he had learned.
General Marshall's eyes twitched slightly when he saw the strange position between the two.
But this was not what he was concerned about now. He did not mince words and asked directly:
"Where did you learn that sick monkeys entered Princeton? How many are there? What is the purpose of the people who released them?"
Facing General Marshall's barrage of questions.
At this time, Du Wei blew the tea slowly and took a sip before putting down the tea cup...
But just when everyone thought Du Wei was about to speak, they discovered that Old God Du Wei was sitting on the sofa with no intention of speaking.
Marshall was more anxious than anyone else at this time. When Du Wei didn't say anything, he once again used his position to press against the two of them.
"Mr. Du Wei, if you don't report what you know, I guarantee that I will personally send you to jail after this matter is over!
Do you have anything to tell me now?"
Duwei chuckled, ignored Marshall and said to Eddie:
"I seem to hear a dog barking, do you hear it?"
Eddie said very cooperatively:
"I heard, this is what a helpless and furious dog looks like.
It can only scream on the side, but it cannot change the upcoming events."
Hearing the two men's teasing, Marshall immediately had an angry look on his face.
But before he could get angry, Eddie raised his head and said seriously:
"In future reports, people will know that their mayoral candidate made an effort.
But they were blocked by bureaucratic politicians.
So eventually Ebola became unstoppable in the city of Princeton.
But those politicians used their authority to flee the city after the virus outbreak.
General Marshall, what do you think the final outcome of this matter will be?"
Eddie's words were like a bucket of cold water poured on General Marshall's head.
His hands and feet instantly became cold and numb.
If it is as described by Eddie, then as the director of the Institute of Virology, he cannot escape the blame, and even the death penalty that has not been carried out in New Jersey for many years may be used again on him!
That’s tens of thousands of lives!
Just because of his negligence and lack of vigilance, his life was in danger!
Unless...kill them both!
Marshall's eyes suddenly became fierce, but soon turned into hesitation.
He couldn't kill two people silently with so many people watching!
So as long as Eddie can get out of here, everyone will know what happened here!
Unless the Ebola virus incident is fake, he loses anyway!
But judging from the current signs, the arrival of Ebola virus is pretty good
What happened in the country is probably true!
In other words, it is extremely stupid for him to still treat the two people in front of him with a high attitude!
Cold sweat broke out on General Marshall's head as he realized what the right approach was.
He bent down a little stiffly, which he had not done for many years, and spoke to the two people in front of him again:
"I was wrong about what happened before. For the sake of the innocent civilians of Princeton, please tell us all the information about the sick monkey.
I would like to personally support Mr. Eddie’s candidacy for mayor.”
Du Wei nodded, it sounded much more comfortable.
He raised his eyes and motioned for Eddie to negotiate.
All current relationships will help Eddie further in the future.
Of course Eddie understood this, he patted Marshall on the shoulder:
"That's right, we have never been enemies.
I came here with good intentions to warn you.
As a result, what I gained was imprisonment. What you did was not honest."
Marshall's eyes twitched again, how could he not understand that this meant asking for compensation from him.
In order to successfully solve the Ebola virus incident, he could only speak again:
"If Mr. Eddie is interested, I would like to introduce you to some old comrades who now hold very high status in the army.
If we gain their support, Mr. Eddie's official career will be smooth in the future."
Eddie was noncommittal:
"General Marshall, please remember your promise.
According to the information I have received, an organization called the 'Ndrangheta is behind this matter and is secretly promoting it.
They hope to find antibodies to the Ebola virus from large-scale human trials and develop corresponding vaccines.
So they released highly intelligent monkeys carrying the Ebola virus into downtown Princeton.
Every monkey running among the crowd may be a carrier of the virus.
So, I hope General Marshall has made enough mental preparations.
Lock down the city, that's the only way out."
