Chapter 2159
More than ten years ago, the president of the United States publicly declared at a certain pandemic in the United States that it was just a cold, and he would be fine after taking two aspirin and going home to sleep.
Then, then there is no then. The elderly president was unfortunately recruited because he had too close contact with the patient. And at the juncture when the general election was approaching, he had to give up his appeal for re-election because he could only lie in a hospital bed and rely on a ventilator to maintain his life.
This is not the only example. For these politicians in the capitalist world, for the sake of many interests, they sometimes have to do things that go against common sense. Those who are more ordinary can only be called stupid at best. As for the current one, it can be called the classic of the Human Behavior Awards.
The envoys of many countries couldn't understand at all what kind of mysterious behavior it was to say that Mrs. Maria was the source of the infectious disease two minutes ago, and then lead people to her the next moment. Even these idiot politicians in the United States are not afraid of death, but each of them still regrets their lives.
Therefore, many people have already retreated in their hearts. In the face of the timidity they had shown, the spokesperson smiled slightly, showing an appearance that everything was under control.
"Don't worry, gentlemen. It's not as terrible as you think. After all, she is dead, and a dead person cannot spread the disease through breathing and movement. What's more, our experts also It has done sufficient disinfection work... If you are still not at ease, maybe I can provide some hand sanitizer and anti-virus alcohol here."
It sounds safe, but these people present have no sense of security at all. Don't forget, lying and deceit exist in the motto of the US government. Therefore, even if he gave a positive guarantee, it seems to be 1.2 million points sure. However, in accordance with international practice, discounting the words of the US government, and rounding them up, there are absolutely no more than five words that can be trusted in these words.
The thing about hand sanitizer and disinfectant alcohol may be true, but to say that they have done disinfection work and that dead people cannot spread the virus, some people present who have seen the world can only hehe in their hearts.
Why were corpses burned during the Black Death, and why were the villages ravaged by the virus burned during Ebola? Do you really think it is due to ignorance and barbarism? If it weren't for the fact that the ravages and spread of the virus have exceeded the scope of ordinary people's cognition, who would be willing to do this kind of thing? Is it really good to be poked in the back?
Almost any choice made under any situation has its own considerations in a certain sense. No one can say that at that time, their choices were really useless. Therefore, using this as a reference, the current operations of Americans are really fascinating.
Where did they get their confidence? With such questions, some ambassadors opened their mouths to ask very bluntly.
"Your Excellency, please forgive me. What I want to know is, to what extent has your research on this disease reached? Have you been able to effectively prevent and control the spread of this disease, or have you developed What about the corresponding vaccine?"
"This... I am not a relevant staff member, nor an expert in pathology. I am afraid it is difficult for me to give you an accurate answer."
The spokesperson began to talk about him from left to right, with an expression that I am not an expert and I don't understand what you are talking about, trying to get away with it. However, things have risen to the point where their lives may be threatened, and no one present has the intention of letting him fool the past so easily.
"And what about your advisor, you said your specialists have done a good job here.
Then, please ask your experts to come out and answer, what level has your analysis of this virus reached, and at the same time, can you confirm that your work can really effectively kill this virus, so as to ensure our safe? "
"this......"
The spokesperson didn't want to say that his so-called experts just called a bunch of people from the CDC and went through the scene according to the standard antivirus process. As for the analysis of such viruses, they don't have the extra time to wait for the long and unnecessary investigation reports from the CDC and several virus laboratories.
This in itself is a political show, a means to legally deprive Frank of all his powers, so that they can better seize the wealth of the Stark family. Countless capitalists are waiting for food, and they are not willing to suppress their greed for a few days because of a so-called virus investigation report.
As representatives of capitalists, these American politicians naturally have to meet their needs. With limited time and imminent political show, they could only make a slight reduction in this aspect.
Is it dangerous? Maybe there is a little bit of it, but the spokesperson doesn't believe it in his heart when it comes to how serious it is.
As a politician, he knows too well what kind of style those people under him will adopt when doing things. To put it bluntly, sometimes in order to complete the task, or to make the task look more beautiful, they are not afraid to use some illegal or even illegal behaviors.
It's like saying that in the face of gangsters taking hostages, the American police can directly shoot the gangsters and send the hostages to the west. The violent agencies in the United States are also very likely to cause some accidental casualties when performing their tasks. Of course, these will be counted on the other party afterwards. They have always been good at splashing dirty water.
Therefore, in the view of this spokesperson, at least half of the casualties in the entire epidemic incident contained water. If this disease was really so lethal, the soldiers sent there to carry out the mission would have died long ago, and it was impossible to bring Maria's body back safely. Therefore, any fuss over this can be called an overreaction, and there is no need for that at all.
You know, the Stark family is good at weapon development and mechanical physics. Instead of such biological viruses, they are not guys like Hydra. A bunch of bumpkins, I'm afraid they can't tell the difference at all.
With such thoughts flying in his mind, this congressman also compiled countermeasures in his mind.
He first spread his hands and made a helpless look. Then he said this to everyone present.
"I understand everyone's caution, and I am very clear about what you are worried about. Although in my opinion, this seems to be unnecessary. But in order to dispel your worries, I think it is better for me to make some special explanations."
"The first thing you need to understand is the infectivity of the virus. Our experts have concluded that the infectivity of this virus is very limited. Not only the distance is limited, but also the restriction on the crowd If it weren't for the fact that Frank was running around the hospital with Mrs. Maria, a mobile source of disease, and had contact with the crowd, and that most of the hospital was filled with old, weak, sick and disabled, the number of casualties might not be what we see today. so serious."
"It's limited in space, and it's also limited in how. If it's not that close, with contact like a sneeze or a cough, then it's basically harmless. We have no evidence that this thing It will be transmitted through droplets, direct or indirect contact like a flu virus. Therefore, there is no need to be so nervous about it." "In addition, this virus may not be as deadly as you see. Mrs. Maria, as The first patients were all fatal after persisting for such a long time. This is enough to prove that the virus itself is difficult to play its due role on healthy people. In addition, don’t forget that our soldiers are the first They came into contact with Mrs. Maria over time, and they are still healthy, which in itself can explain the problem."
"To sum up, as long as everyone can look at it rationally from a scientific point of view, then this so-called disease is nothing to be afraid of at all. Everyone is a decent person, not a tramp on the street. Mrs. Maria is now It's just lying there, and won't stand up suddenly to kiss you. What's more, the virus in her body has already lost its activity with her death. Under this premise, everyone really has nothing to worry about."
"If you still don't believe me, then I am willing to set an example for you. I believe you will never think that I will use my life to make this kind of joke with you."
There is no basis for words. Seeing that he was about to be so tired that few people were willing to sell his face, this congressman simply gritted his teeth and used his trump card.
Anyway, he really doesn't believe there is such a thing as a virus. Even if there is, he also firmly believes that with the level of medical treatment in the United States, this is just ringworm and scabies after all. It's nothing more than going to the hospital for a few days and getting two injections. Compared with the huge interests and support represented behind the political show, he is still willing to fight for his political capital.
This is a real warrior. From his speech, the surrounding dignitaries and even reporters from various countries have fallen into a state of shock. It was hard for them to imagine what kind of courage it was that allowed this guy to make such an astonishing decision. What's even more difficult for them to imagine is that he doesn't seem to be just talking. But actually paid for the action.
No one came out to stop him at this time, he strolled up to Maria as if he really had a deep friendship with Maria. First, he put the white rose in his hand on Maria's body, then lowered his head, and gave Maria a close kiss.
The remembrance that seems to be full of a sense of ritual, of course, whether it is a real remembrance or just a show, it is up to the beholder to see the wisdom of the wise. In short, he did give some people confidence. And under the premise that he took the lead, there are still some people who are willing to continue this deceptive behavior for the sake of the Stark family and the entire US government.
In this case, if there is the first, there will be the second. And after all the people who are willing to make this kind of attempt have gone through this process, there are only a few who stay there motionless, or even voluntarily stay away. These politicians in the United States have a country that they trust.
"I think we should get out of here. Seriously, this environment makes me feel like I'm on the battlefield of World War I, when the mustard gas is just starting to be sprinkled on the battlefield."
Mao Zi's ambassador gave an apt description, and faced with his proposal, the old friend country that has always been on the issue of the United States nodded immediately, and then said.
"Indeed. I feel that they seem to have gone crazy, whether it is the attitude towards the Stark family or the current showmanship. It seems that they have completely lost their rationality. Such a guy is almost certain to have gone crazy. Walking on the road of self-destruction. And in line with the principle that a gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall, we really should not stand in the same boat as them."
"So, what do you mean?"
"Go, it's not too late. It's dangerous to stay here for a second!"
As soon as several people put together, they made a decision immediately. Compared to dumping the US government's face on this occasion, these envoys are obviously more concerned about not wanting themselves and their entourage to pay a heavy price for this stupid political show.
After all, it is not a particularly formal occasion, and it is impossible to raise this issue to the level of national diplomacy. At most, it offends this seemingly proud congressman, but who cares about this kind of thing?
A mere member of parliament doesn't need to be taken seriously by them. And this is reflected in the reality that the congressman who was smiling and talking happily with the envoys from various countries around him watched them leave. Except for a twitch at the corner of his eyes, he didn't dare to show even the slightest bit of embarrassment. .
He might be scolding his mother desperately in his heart, but after all he didn't dare to do anything to offend anyone on this occasion. The ghost knows how many of these envoys around are their licking dogs and younger brothers. If they really say something that shouldn't be said, they might become people on other people's diplomatic blacklist the next day.
Times had changed, and he knew it all too well. Compared with the ease and unscrupulousness of offending people wantonly by relying on the country behind them back then, they now need to be human with their tails between their legs.
Not only does it mean not to offend people, but it even requires him to make friends with others as much as possible. Although he is not used to this kind of thing, and it is indeed a bit embarrassing for the United States in the past, but considering the reality and interests, he is still willing to lose face.
"Perhaps there is something important about these two. Don't worry, gentlemen, I'm sure they'll show up at the banquet tonight!"
With a smile on his face, he seems to be giving confidence to the envoys of the countries who are close to him, and it seems to give him confidence again. However, what he didn't notice was that as the expression on his face changed, the eyes of the people around him also began to gradually become terrified.
A person who is bleeding from his seven orifices but still keeps smiling should look like something in a thriller. And now, the thriller has come to reality and is being staged right in front of their eyes.
