Chapter 20 White Lung Disease

"Have you discovered anything new recently?"

In the laboratory, Li Changfeng sat in front of the computer, and several colleagues sat around to report new progress.

A few people are like wilted cabbages, with pale and unhappy faces

"The new chain virus is becoming more and more rampant. We finally obtained the gene sequence of the virus from the patients in Ruikang Hospital, only to find that its mutation rate is much faster than we imagined. This is hard to come by. It seems that the gene sequence is not of much value to us,” Yi Xin said.

"Yes, in addition to seriously damaging the respiratory function of the lungs, the new pneumonia will also cause irreversible organ damage to other body organs. Its destructive ability is far more violent than that of SARS in 03," Ke Hai said.

"We are still studying the cultivation and extraction of antibodies, and the progress is not very smooth. As Senior Yi Xin said, the virus is too cunning, so we need to take more samples. We would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go," Gao Tianye said .

"I have checked all the relevant information, and I always feel that this new coronavirus epidemic is not as simple as SARS back then, because the pathological examination of the new coronavirus pneumonia had a similar report in country M five years ago." Cao Yuan said.

"You mean white lung disease?" Li Changfeng opened his mouth, and Cao Yuan's gloomy little head lit up.

"exactly"

"What white lung disease?! Why haven't I heard of it?!" Ke Haihang looked out of the situation with a dazed expression.

"I told you to go to bed earlier and watch less colorful movies. If you don't listen to it, watch it, you're slow to react," Gao Tianye teased.

Everyone laughed.

"White lung disease is a respiratory disease that broke out in M ​​country in September 2020. Its early symptoms are exactly the same as those of new pneumonia, including fever, chest pain, and cough. Even its pathological examination can show the unique symptoms of new pneumonia. glass change"

"So the new chain epidemic is actually a mutation of white lung disease in country M?" Ke Haihang asked himself and answered, "It's no wonder that country M is now flooded with disasters. It is obviously a superpower, but it can't even do basic control of the source of infection, because Country M is the birthplace of the virus.”

"It's just that I don't understand why it took five years to spread to the whole world? Why didn't country M report to the World Health Organization? Why country M was able to control the previous white lung disease but couldn't control the current new chain epidemic?" Cao Yuan Lost in thought again.

Yi Xin: "Because the virus has mutated, and the virus mutated this time is extremely destructive and aggressive, country M can't control it naturally"

Li Changfeng: "Correct answer, but the latter sentence is not entirely correct. Whether you have the ability to control the epidemic and whether you want to control the epidemic are two different things. The essence of capitalism is to sacrifice the interests of the working people at the bottom to obtain their own wealth. The new chain epidemic broke out in our country For so long, the World Health Organization has also issued a warning, and they are still indifferent, which shows that they do not want to control it at all.”

Cao Yuan: "You mean collective immunity?"

Li Changfeng: "Yes"

"How cruel is it to come up with such a solution? Isn't the life of the people at the bottom not life?" Cao Yuanyi said indignantly.

Li Changfeng: "The world of capitalists is always preyed upon by the weak"

"Then why are you so sure that the new chain epidemic is a mutation of white lung disease?" Ke Haihang finally understood after listening for a long time.

Li Changfeng thought for a while and said earnestly. From the medical point of view, white lung disease and the new chain virus are two diseases. The relationship between them is not equal, but a relationship of mutation and division.After searching the information carefully, we will find that the nodes of white lung disease from increasing to decreasing are closely related to the occurrence of new chain pneumonia.

As early as 2020, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention of M country discovered the existence of white lung disease. This disease can cause severe infiltration of the patient's lungs. On CT, it can be seen that the patient's entire lungs will turn into white shadows, and then turn white lung, so people in M ​​country call it white lung disease.

The common symptoms of white lung disease mainly include shortness of breath, cough, fatigue, body aches, fever, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, etc. Some patients may also see gastrointestinal symptoms before respiratory symptoms, and usually do not respond to antibiotic treatment.

Most patients seek medical treatment within a few days to weeks after onset, some severe patients will develop respiratory failure, and severe patients can be discharged within a few days to weeks, but there are also very few patients who have to undergo medical treatment due to severe lung infection. Lung transplant surgery.

At present, a study on the new chain virus by Professor Peter of Ivy Genetics has been recognized by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States. This research traced the development process of the new chain virus and found that the source of the virus is not from our country

According to the professor's research, the new strains of the virus currently raging around the world are roughly divided into three strains: A, B, and C. Among them, type A is the closest to the original strain found on bats, and although type A also appeared in our country However, the number is very small. The vast majority of people are infected with the B type after the mutation of the A type, while the C type is the product of re-mutation on the basis of the B type.

Judging from the nucleic acid samples collected from all over the world, type A is mainly concentrated in countries such as Europe and the United States; type B is mainly concentrated in East Asia and Southeast Asian countries; type C is mainly concentrated in Italy, South Korea, Singapore, Hong Kong and New York in the United States.

从现有的样本来推测,新链病毒出现的最早时间是2020年9月13日至2020年12月7日,而这个时间正是白肺病迅速发展的高峰期

According to the latest research, the mutation rate of the new strain virus has far exceeded the imagination of scientists, and now more than 30 types of new strain virus strains have been discovered.And this mutation rate is obviously abnormal, indicating that the virus must have undergone a mutation caused by a wide range of stimuli, which greatly enhanced the infectivity and toxicity of the new chain virus, according to the research report The strongest strain was a staggering 270 times more virulent than the weakest strain.

This variation explains why the new strain virus has existed for a long time, but it has only recently begun to focus on outbreaks.Otherwise, whether it is China, country M or any other country, if the virus has the current spread and toxicity, the medical system would have collapsed long ago, and obviously many large cities with large populations in the world have not yet reached this point.

The pathogenic principle of the new chain virus is that the virus hijacks the ACE2 protein in the human body through the spike protein, so that human cells can replicate the virus.The organ with the most expression of ACE2 protein in the human body is the intestinal tract, which is why many patients with 2-nCoV have no respiratory symptoms in the early stage but have gastrointestinal symptoms, and the virus combined with ACE[-] protein can cross the blood-brain barrier to erode the brain And the nervous system causes lesions, but vitamin E acetate wants to achieve the same effect unless it is poisoned.

After carefully reading the report of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention on white lung disease, we will find that in addition to vitamin E acetate, there is another substance contained in the lungs of these white lung disease patients, that is THC.But THC is not the main object of suspicion by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.Because this problem is like cigarettes must contain nicotine, it is considered normal for all e-cigarettes to contain THC, so the Center for Disease Control and Prevention of the United States did not consider this aspect at all, but suggested that Americans use less THC-containing products.

There is another reason why the Center for Disease Control and Prevention of the country M chooses not to talk about it. In 2020, there is a high demand for the legalization of drugs in country M, and the main source of THC is drugs, so the CDC chooses to avoid this issue.

What is interesting is that the National Congress of M discussed two bills on sex in 2020, and on September 2020, 9, passed the "SAFE Banking Act Act" to fund the sex industry. Sales soared instantly.

After confirming this point, we can see the inevitable connection between the countries of the new type A virus-these countries are all countries where meth is legalized and the amount of smoking is large!And these countries have been flooded with THC-rich e-cigarettes.It is also worth noting that in the states that recently protested the uselessness of the quarantine policy in M, it may not only be because of partisanship, because these states also have a common feature, that is, when all stores are closed during the epidemic But let the □□ store open normally!

Therefore, it’s not that white lung disease disappeared after being cured, but that the virus had already started to mutate at that time. In September 2020, an outbreak of influenza broke out in country M, so the number of confirmed cases of “flu” overwhelmed the number of confirmed cases of white lung disease. Lung disease faded from the public view, replaced by so-called influenza and the new strain of virus.

After Li Changfeng finished speaking, the laboratory suddenly fell silent, and everyone fell into deep thought.
