Vol 5 Chapter 14: Flu swept the world

When the Ministry of Health announced the epidemic, it happened at the end of the first wave of epidemics, and the second wave of epidemics had not yet reached an intermediate point. The epidemic outbreaks in all parts of the world were receding, and even many places completely disappeared.
Governments at first glance show that the current situation is very good. Naturally, the warning of the Bulgarian Ministry of Health is not taken to heart. Many people still secretly despise Bulgarian medical technology is still in the Middle Ages. A common flu was scared. That's it!
According to an article in the Washington Daily, this flu can only bring disaster to medically backward areas, but the United States of America does not need to pay attention to it. The colonial countries that should be prevented should have major events in their colonies. Bulgaria Wrong object!
The Sun also claimed: Have we had another April Fool's Day? This is the best joke of the century. The flu in the world is subsiding. The Bulgarian Ministry of Health actually reminds everyone to prevent epidemics?
Did they get it wrong and report it a few months ago? This is a bureaucratic malfeasance. It is recommended that Bulgaria's internal affairs department carry out strict investigations to avoid the situation that fools the world again!
...
No matter how ridiculed by outside public opinion, Ferdinand pretended not to see it, and domestic newspapers are all reminding everyone to prevent epidemics. It ’s not that no one wants to pay attention, but Bulgaria ’s news management law is too strict!
In this case, once the epidemic is born, the contradictory media constitutes the crime of distorting the facts, and a ten-year start is indispensable.
Unless there are no casualties, once a patient dies, they constitute a potential murder, and the mine is their ultimate destination!
The predecessors used countless blood lessons to tell them that in Bulgarian words can be arbitrarily written, but the news must not be written arbitrarily, especially the news that is against the government!
In August, the epidemic situation changed again, and a deadly flu arose on a British ship that had just left the West African country Lion Rock Republic. Before the ship arrived in the UK, 75% of the crew were infected, 7% of the crew died, and several other ships A similar situation occurred.
Almost at the same time, Mashed in Ashgabat, Persia, Russia also gave birth to flu with a high mortality rate, and it spread to Xun.
Well, the two sources came out at the same time, from where did it spread to the world, Ferdinand was too lazy to control it, Bulgaria has already done the epidemic prevention work, and when the epidemic broke out, he can lift up a small bench, soak A pot of tea, holding melon seeds to see the joke.
On August 27, the flu passed into the United States and spread among dockers in Boston, while Brest in France had the flu at about the same time, and then outbreaks occurred in several cities in the eastern United States.
It began to spread across Europe and the United States in early September, and spread across the world within a few weeks. The flu spread to the world again.
The second wave of influenza is different from past influenza. The mortality rate is particularly high among young adults aged 2 to 35 years old. In addition to high fever and headache, the symptoms include blue complexion and hemoptysis; influenza often causes complications. The most common cause of death is pneumonia.
Many cities restrict citizens' access to public places, and cinemas, dance halls, sports venues, etc. have been closed for more than a year. A tram clerk in Seattle refused passengers without masks to board the train.
In January of the same year, January was the darkest month in the history of the United States. 20 million Americans died in this month. In 1918, the average life expectancy in the United States was therefore 12 years shorter than usual.
Looking at the booming epidemic around the world, it did not spread in Bulgaria, Ferdinand was relieved, and Bulgaria temporarily closed all ports in early August and cut off trade with countries around the world. It has not spread in Bulgaria.
However, many border cities are still affected. The epidemic from the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Russia still caused some trouble to the Bulgarian government. Fortunately, the isolation was timely and there was no large-scale spread!
Seeing the initial containment of the epidemic, Ferdinand invited the Crown Prince Ferdinand, asking, "Boy, dare you visit the country now?"
Now is also the time to pave the way for the Crown Prince. The already grown-up Ferdinand Little should brush out a sense of presence in front of the people, and this epidemic is the best opportunity to buy the hearts of the people!
Ferdinand no longer needs it, his prestige is high enough, and now there is nothing to shake his status, but Ferdinand Jr. is not good enough. In everyone's impression, he is only the eldest son of the king and may inherit the king's Some advantages, nothing more!
This prestige made him have no problem inheriting the throne, but I want everyone to truly recognize him, there is still a long way to go!
The little Ferdinand of the newborn calf will naturally not be afraid, and said without hesitation: "Dare! How dare you, father, but you said it, men can't be afraid! When will I be out? I'll go back and ask for a vacation ,get ready!"
Ferdinand solemnly said, "This time you are visiting the country on behalf of the royal family. I will not go. How about it? Do you have the ability to do this?"
Little Ferdinand was shocked. He was still a young man, and there was still a lot of energy. He saw that he didn't hesitate to say, "No problem, I promise to complete the task!"
Ferdinand smiled a little, and had the courage to go. In case of a cowardly crown prince, he would only cry. If he did n’t know how to take advantage of such a good opportunity, he would be finished!
Look at how much George V was desperate. In order to brush the sense of existence, they were all sick; so was Alfonso XIII, the Kingdom of Spain next door. They accidentally put themselves in, and of course they all survived!
It's not that dangerous to patrol the whole country in Bulgaria. The officials below have long isolated the patients. Even if the patrol is to go to the safe area? Do you still expect the Crown Prince to visit the patients?
Even if you want to see it, that's to see the recovered patient! In order to prevent the spread of the disease, patients in the quarantine area are prohibited from visiting anyone. This is a rule of the Ministry of Health and everyone must follow!
Ferdinand reluctantly instructed: "This time you go to those places and you decide that you don't need to go to the colony. The epidemic there has long been out of control. You just have to inspect the Balkan Peninsula and it has already happened. Don't go there! "
Do n’t look at Bulgaria ’s epidemic prevention work. It ’s only aimed at the mainland. The colony has taken measures only for a few inhabitants, and the vast indigenous living area, who has nothing to do if they are full, care about their lives.
No medicine, no medical treatment, no epidemic prevention measures, and let the virus spread, you can imagine what kind of scene these areas are now!
According to statistics from later generations, the global population of 1.7 billion, the number of people infected with influenza virus is as high as 100 million, and the mortality rate is between 2.5% and 5% (this is only in some regions). The number of deaths is also different. .
The number of recorded deaths is more than 22oo million, and the number of deaths in colonies that have not been counted is between 50oo and 100 million. The specific number cannot be determined!
Anyway, the more backward the medical treatment, the worse the sanitary conditions, the higher the mortality rate!
Ferdinand Little reacted, and co-authoring was just going out for a show! Say it earlier, startled me, thinking you really want to visit the patient?
Looking at Ferdinand's expression, Ferdinand knew what was going on, but as a father, how could he not push his son into the fire pit!
Ferdinand Little said hesitantly, "Father, isn't this good? If you don't go to the epidemic area, this won't seem too ..."
Ferdinand glared at him and said, "Stupid, can't you go slower when you tour the country? From Sofia, go to Constantinople and walk along Thrace, Macedonia, the Greek peninsula ... , The epidemic has long since ended, and you won't have to go again! "
Ferdinand Little nodded. Sure enough, is still old and hot. Regardless of the level of the show, he can hardly shoot. There are so many cities in Bulgaria, even if there is one every day, there is no problem in walking for two or three years!
For the traditional diseases, the virus will spread and be contained in winter. It is now September, and it is not too easy to delay to December?
...
After figuring out the purpose, Ferdinand Xiao did not hesitate, and went straight to the road of national inspections, while the flu still plundered the whole world, God blocked the Buddha and the Buddha, and the suspected life of the epidemic prevention personnel of all countries!
Since the second major outbreak of influenza began in August, governments around the world have panicked. Don't panic. The death toll is simply too high!
Every family hangs white sails, wailing and crying all over the world!
Due to the large number of deaths, the funeral industry has become the most popular industry in various countries, and coffins have become a hot commodity. If there is no way, you can use a few wooden boards to nail them, and they will be used.
The labors became a collective activity. Because the priests were too busy with business, they had to let the dead meet in groups. Of course, it ’s not good if you do n’t organize a group. The guests need to send too many people, and they are also lacking in skills!
Fortunately, Ferdinand still has some restraints. He didn't go to the dead, and hoarded a bunch of coffins to sell there, otherwise the world will be even more ...
Bulgaria, the world's first to prevent epidemics, has become the object of study by various countries. They have chosen to block ports, cut off trade, and designate quarantine areas to block the spread of the virus!
Unfortunately, it's all late, the flu virus has spread, and it is not so easy to contain it. For example, in Europe ’s worst miserable Spain, eight million people were infected with the virus, including King Alfonso III and Madrid III. One in every citizen is infected, some government departments are forced to close, how can patients be isolated everywhere in the country?
George V of the United Kingdom was too active and was not spared. England and Wales died of 2 million, and the Royal Fleet was unable to enter the sea for three weeks. Mumbai, India, killed 70,000. Some Inuit villages suffered devastation. One village had 8o. 73 people died of the flu; 2o% of West Samoa died of the flu.
Dead bodies are piled up in many countries, trams have no passengers; schools, song and dance theaters, movie theaters are unlit, swimming pools and bowling alleys are empty; a small town in South Africa lacks coffins, blankets of corpses are buried under the sun, and streets are littered during the day and rescued at night. The car shuttles.
There is no harm if there is no contrast. If everyone is unlucky together, then naturally there is nothing to say, but the problem is that some people are now unlucky?
Everyone's mind is not very balanced, at least there are demonstrations and protests against the government's inaction on the streets of Paris. It seems that they are not afraid of death at all!
However, politicians still have a way. They moved Bulgaria's martial law directly, and their ears were cleaned up. Now we can do it, can we?
Of course, this is only temporary. If there is no accident or other epidemic situation, some people will come out to protest that the government has deprived them of the right to march. Anyway, competitors will not let the government relax!
This time, the capitalists did not hinder the government's epidemic prevention. Although they also harmed their interests, they were even more afraid of death!
The flu does not recognize people, even if they have better medical conditions and a survival rate of up to 99%, everyone is still afraid to take risks!
It is mainly because the virus announced by the Bulgarian Ministry of Health is still evolving and it has really scared everyone. Now it is so powerful. If it continues to evolve, is it not a replica of the Black Death? No one dares to gamble!
Medical institutions around the world have participated in virus research. Unfortunately, this gadget is really not the technology of this era and can be solved!
Viruses are not the same. How do you make a special medicine?
The University of Cambridge organized experts to perform virus statistics. They were surprised that there were more than 300 viruses in a thousand patients, which means that on average, only three-thousandths of the virus is coincident, and they have a special effect. medicine?
Even if there are more than 300 drugs, the virus has not been stable, and there are changes at any time. Today, when the drug is developed, the virus will mutate again tomorrow. What is the use?
This mutation may be the good side or the bad side. If it is a benign exhibition, congratulations, you can prepare to be discharged. If it is a bad side, you can prepare for the aftermath!
Then the British scientific community once again proved the possibility that no special effect drug has been developed in the short term ~ EbookFREE.me ~ So everyone should work together to fight the virus, otherwise one is not good and humans will have fun!
Maybe it ’s God ’s blessing. The winter of 1918 soon arrived, and the epidemic began to subside. All governments were relieved.
The last two or three months have been so exciting. In just a few months, the death tolls of all countries combined have directly passed the total of two and a half years of World War!
The world's economy has entered a Great Depression, and the flu has dampened everyone's enthusiasm for purchasing. If it is not for the purchase of necessities, many people will choose to live at home and go nowhere!
