Chapter 015 Rapid spread(2/2)

Although there have not been any fatal cases, the speed of transmission is so scary. The key is that even the professionals of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention do not fully understand the "e" virus. Who knows whether it will mutate? Will it suddenly die in the future?

Shancheng urgently established an emergency command center, and after the city was locked down, it began to trace the transmission route of each infected person.

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention has gathered famous ophthalmologists, infectious diseases experts, and virology experts in the city, but to no avail.

Ophthalmologists don’t understand the pathology of this “e” virus: they don’t understand why this virus does not cause organic damage after it infects the retina, but only makes the colored vision brown into a gray-white world.

"A preliminary judgment on pathology is similar to color blindness, because cones lack a variety of wavelength-sensitive chemicals, which leads to the inability to perceive all the base colors."

The infected person was isolated and treated. The treatment plan given by the ophthalmologist was to treat color blindness, but it was found that the effect was very small.

"Although it will not cause death for the time being, there is no cure. In addition, the spread is fast, and the superposition of these two factors alone has caused panic among the public."

Patients infected with the "e" virus have no sign of illness at all. Once they are infected with the virus, they will immediately become "blind". On the streets, there are screams of infected people everywhere, and the symptoms of infection without warning make pedestrians scream continuously.

After the infected person is "blind", the eyes will secrete trait secretions and tears, which will dry or even evaporate quickly after being touched by the hands.

Tears evaporate in the air, and the "e" virus is transmitted through aerosols and can survive on human skin for 72 hours. The ultraviolet rays in the sun cannot kill them at all.

Wearing glasses cannot prevent this transmission pathway, and only wearing a sealed eye mask can be avoided.

Because sealed eye masks are too narrow in use and the market volume is extremely small, when experts determine that such eye masks are effective in defense, the eye masks will instantly double their price and in short supply. Manufacturers expand production lines, resulting in raw materials being snatched up... All factors come together. Even if this type of eye mask is not timely, it effectively blocks the transmission of "e" virus, like a drop in the bucket, and it cannot stop the spread at all.
