Chapter 414 Potential Biological Weapons
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has its own complete and careful treatment methods for infectious diseases.
Lin Wendong was brought back to the provincial infectious disease hospital and passed a series of procedures through the red channel. Soon, after rescue, Lin Wendong's vital signs finally stabilized temporarily.
But it was just a not too bad start.
Two days later, through special testing and identification equipment, virus-specific igm antibodies were found in Lin Wendong's blood for examination!
This is 100% confirmed that it is Ebola virus!
After layers of reporting, this news immediately attracted close attention from the provincial government and even the Central Ministry of Health.
Instructions were issued one after another, causing the Provincial Infectious Disease Hospital, Provincial Disease Control and Control, and related personnel to be in an extremely tense situation!
Another week passed.
In an isolation ward, Song Che was lying on the bed, flipping through medical books while making video calls.
In the video, Li Rong, who is presented with Miss Shang Ke, said: "Director Yu and I are now staying in a hotel run by a city recruitment office in the suburbs. Except for being boring, everything else is fine. No people have noticed abnormalities at present. However, the final result is that we have to wait for about ten days. The incubation period of Ebola is at most 21 days... How about Lin Wendong now?"
"Half of his life is hanging. I just received the news today that the bleeding inside and outside of his body is getting worse and worse. Blood is emitting from his mouth, nose and anus, and a lot of blood is coagulating and necrotic. I estimate that at most one week, if he does not receive effective treatment, he will have to float back to the other side of the ocean to see Jesus." Song Che finally joked.
However, his expression was a little sad.
When Lin Wendong first met, he was so majestic, and the piles of honors and identities behind him were enough to be among the most successful young people in the world.
At that time, Song Che was just a fledgling rookie and didn't even have the qualifications to compare.
But things are unpredictable. Now, this former pride of heaven has not only become a prisoner, but also has a thread of life...
"The injection of npc1 hinderant is not effective?" Shang Ke asked again.
"The effect is, but it is not as good as expected." Song Che shook his head.
npc1 is a protein structure.
Since Ebola virus must enter the human body, it must pass through npc1 to enter the cell nucleus for its own replication, it can be said that the npc1 protein is the transmission vector of the virus.
Therefore, injection of npc1 blocking agent is the only way in the world that can effectively fight Ebola virus.
"Even the npc1 hinderant cannot work, it can probably verify our guess." Shang Ke's face suddenly became much more serious: "The virus in Lin Wendong's body may have been modified and upgraded, and was replicated and spread through other media."
This is an expected and extremely terrifying conclusion!
This is a bad news that no one wants to hear!
"In addition, it can also be inferred that Lin Wendong knew that the Medicine God Organization was engaged in this research, but it should be excluded from the research team. Otherwise, he would have thought of a way to save himself, and would not have been poisoned in a daze." Shang Ke said: "Have Hua Wushuang contacted you, right?"
"I just contacted it three days ago." Song Che rubbed her temples and asked, "She is now at a loss. The vaccine has been basically developed and is undergoing the final testing procedure, but it is not good to see whether it can resist this new Ebola virus."
"As for the treatment, she hopes that I can do my best to save Lin Wendong."
Hua Wushuang and Lin Wendong have a good personal relationship. Even though Lin Wendong is deeply trapped, she still doesn't want to watch her friend be tortured to death.
Therefore, during the three-day call, Hua Wushuang begged Song Che to find a treatment, even if it is good to extend Lin Wendong's life.
"She is also in a hurry to seek medical treatment. You are not a professional medical expert. Even if you are familiar with all the pharmacology of traditional Chinese and Western medicine, how could you think of a way in just a few days?" Shang Ke sighed.
After all, the Medicine God Organization has spent so much money to develop a new Ebola virus, which will definitely not be easily conquered by the world.
"And, the most troublesome thing is that we have no idea about the next move of the Medicine God Organization. We just use Lin Wendong to test medicine to silence the patient, or should we start a new round of biological terrorist attacks with this as the beginning!" Shang Ke said in a deep voice.
Song Che was also worried about this.
In fact, as early as the end of the last century, when Ebola was first discovered, it was listed as the highest level of potential biological weapons by American medical institutions.
The mortality rate of Ebola is quite high, and the virus incubator is extremely short, but after killing the infected person, it loses the ability to continue to spread, so the lethality is still relatively limited.
Therefore, some virus researchers or terrorist groups hope to combine other viruses with more contagious viruses such as smallpox to cultivate and create a new virus with a large spread range and strong lethality as a super weapon for terrorist attacks!
"After the observation and reporting of these days, I can basically conclude that the Medicine God Organization does not combine smallpox virus with Ebola virus."
Song Che pondered: "But I can still conclude that the virus they used to bind Ebola must be transmitted through the respiratory tract!"
"..." Shang Ke was silent for a while and tentatively said: "Then Yu Hongli..."
Song Che lowered his brows and sighed faintly, unwilling to answer this cruel question.
If this new Ebola virus can indeed be transmitted through the respiratory tract, then Yu Hongli and Lin Wendong were basically in the unventilated interrogation room, and the probability of infection was basically quite high!
Song Che can ignore Lin Wendong's life and death.
But, Yu Hongli, he must care!
Therefore, in the past few days, he has been reading books day and night, trying to find a cure.
"Don't worry, a lucky person will have a heavenly appearance."
At this point, Shang Ke can only say some meaningless words of comfort.
After a pause, she said, "By the way, I have contacted Professor Kuroda and told him about the situation here. A few years ago, he also led a team of MSF to Africa to fight Ebola. He has excellent experience. He sorted out his experience and wanted to contact you for discussion and may provide some help."
Song Che nodded.
Shang Ke then started a third-party video call invitation.
After a while, Kuroda Akira's face also appeared on the phone screen.
Kuroda Akira looked solemn and said straight: "Doctor Song, I understand the situation on your side. Today, I contacted some of the experts in the world who are most experienced in fighting Ebola virus and obtained a possible non-effective treatment."
